Consider a solid sphere and a solid disk with the same radius and the same mass. Explain why the solid disk has a greater moment

of inertia than the solid sphere, even though it has the same overall mass and radius.

Answer:

Explanation:

In a Solid sphere; the moment of inertia around its geometrical axis can be expressed by using the formula:

\mathtt{I_s = \dfrac{2}{5} M_s R^2_s}

For the solid disk; the moment of inertia around the central axis is:

\mathtt{I_D= \dfrac{1}{2}M_DR_D^2}

Suppose M_D = M_S; then we can say both to be equal to M

As well as R_D = R_S; then that too can be equal to R

Now;

\mathtt{I_s = \dfrac{2}{5} M R^2} --- (1)

\mathtt{I_D= \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}---(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 2, followed by dividing it by 2; we have:

\mathtt{I_s= \dfrac{2}{5}MR^2} \times \dfrac{2}{2}

I_s = \dfrac{4}{5} \times \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2 \\ \\ I_s = \dfrac{4}{5}\times I_D \\ \\ I_s > I_D

In the design of a rapid transit system, it is necessary to balance the average speed of a train against the distance between st
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

a) t = 746 s

b) t = 666 s

Explanation:

a)

  • Total time will be the sum of the partial times between stations plus the time stopped at the stations.
  • Due to the distance between stations is the same, and the time between stations must be the same (Because the train starts from rest in each station) we can find total time, finding the time for any of the distance between two stations, and then multiply it times the number of distances.
  • At any station, the train starts from rest, and then accelerates at 1.1m/s2 till it reaches to a speed of 95 km/h.
  • In order to simplify things, let's first to convert this speed from km/h to m/s, as follows:

       v_{1} = 95 km/h *\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 26.4 m/s  (1)

  • Applying the definition of acceleration, we can find the time traveled by the train before reaching to this speed, as follows:

       t_{1} = \frac{v_{1} }{a_{1} } = \frac{26.4m/s}{1.1m/s2} = 24 s (2)

  • Next, we can find the distance traveled during this time, assuming that the acceleration is constant, using the following kinematic equation:

       x_{1} = \frac{1}{2} *a_{1} *t_{1} ^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.1m/s2*(24s)^{2} = 316.8 m  (3)

  • In the same way, we can find the time needed to reach to a complete stop at the next station, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

       t_{3} = \frac{-v_{1} }{a_{2} } = \frac{-26.4m/s}{-2.2m/s2} = 12 s (4)

  • We can find the distance traveled while the train was decelerating as follows:

       x_{3} = (v_{1} * t_{3})   + \frac{1}{2} *a_{2} *t_{3} ^{2} \\ = (26.4m/s*12s) - \frac{1}{2} * 2.2m/s2*(12s)^{2} = 316.8 m - 158.4 m = 158.4m  (5)

  • Finally, we need to know the time traveled at constant speed.
  • So, we need to find first the distance traveled at the constant speed of 26.4m/s.
  • This distance is just the total distance between stations (3.0 km) minus the distance used for acceleration (x₁) and the distance for deceleration (x₃), as follows:
  • x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 3000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 2525 m (6)
  • The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{2525m}{26.4m/s} = 95.6 s   (7)

  • Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
  • t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 95.6 s + 12 s = 131.6 s (8)
  • Due to we have six stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 5, as follows:
  • tm = t*5 = 131.6 * 5 = 658.2 s (9)
  • Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 4 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 4 = 88 s, as follows:
  • Ttotal = tm + 88 s = 658.2 s + 88 s = 746 s (10)

b)

  • Using all the same premises that for a) we know that the only  difference, in order to find the time between stations, will be due to the time traveled at constant speed, because the distance traveled at a constant speed will be different.
  • Since t₁ and t₃ will be the same, x₁ and x₃, will be the same too.
  • We can find the distance traveled at constant speed, rewriting (6) as follows:
  • x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 5000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 4525 m (11)
  • The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{4525m}{26.4m/s} = 171.4 s   (12)

  • Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
  • t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 171.4 s + 12 s = 207.4 s (13)
  • Due to we have four stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 3, as follows:
  • tm = t*3 = 207.4 * 3 = 622.2 s (14)
  • Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 2 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 2 = 44 s, as follows:
  • Ttotal = tm + 44 s = 622.2 s + 44 s = 666 s (15)

When does the most significant drop in physical activity typically occur in people's lives?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Later high school years and freshman year of college

Explanation:

The transition from high school to college is an important developmental milestone that holds the potential for personal growth and behavioral change.  A cohort of 2,025 students was recruited during the summer before they matriculated into college and completed Internet-based surveys about their participation in a variety of behavioral risks during the last three months of high school and throughout the first year of college. Alcohol use, marijuana use, and sex with multiple partners increased during the transition from high school to college, whereas driving after drinking, aggression, and property crimes decreased. Those from rural high schools and those who elected to live in private dormitories in college were at highest risk for heavy drinking and driving after drinking.
