Two 2 kg masses is placed at either end of a rod that has a mass of .5 kg and a length of 3 m. What is the moment of inertia if

the system it is rotated about (a) one end of the rod and (b) the center of the rod?

Explanation:

a) $I=\displaystyle \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2$

where $r_i$ is the distance of the mass $m_i$ from the axis of rotation. When the axis of rotation is placed at the end of the rod, the moment of inertia is due only to one mass. Therefore,

$I= mr^2 = (2\:kg)(3\:m)^2 = 18\:kg-m^2$

b) When the axis of rotation is placed on the center of the rod, the moment is due to both masses and the radius r is 1.5 m. Therefore,

$\displaystyle I= \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2 = 2(2\:kg)(1.5\:m)^2 = 9\:kg-m^2$

How do scientists determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom?

ikadub [295]

D. The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible. For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed. Say the element has 10 protons. If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg.m^2. The father

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial angular velocity $\omega_o = 0$

angular acceleration $\alpha$ = 4.44 rad/s²

Using the formula:

$\omega = \omega_o+ \alpha t$

Making t the subject of the formula:

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

where;

$\omega = 1.53 \ rad/s^2$

∴

$t= \dfrac{1.53-0}{4.44 }$

t = 0.345 s

b)

Using the formula:

$\omega ^2 = \omega _o^2 + 2 \alpha \theta$

here;

$\theta$ = angular displacement

∴

$\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_o^2}{2 \alpha }$

$\theta = \dfrac{(1.53)^2 -0^2}{2 (4.44) }$

$\theta =0.264 \ rad$

Recall that:

2π rad = 1 revolution

Then;

0.264 rad = (x) revolution

$x = \dfrac{0.264 \times 1}{2 \pi}$

x = 0.042 revolutions

c)

Here; force = 270 N

radius = 1.20 m

The torque = F * r

$\tau = 270 \times 1.20 \\ \\ \tau = 324 \ Nm$

However;

From the moment of inertia;

$Torque( \tau) = I \alpha \\ \\ Since( I \alpha) = 324 \ Nm. \\ \\ Then; \\ \\ \alpha= \dfrac{324}{I}$

given that;

I = 84.4 kg.m²

$\alpha= \dfrac{324}{84.4} \\ \\ \alpha=3.84 \ rad/s^2$

For re-tardation; $\alpha=-3.84 \ rad/s^2$

Using the equation

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

$t= \dfrac{0-1.53}{ -3.84 }$

$t= \dfrac{1.53}{ 3.84 }$

t = 0.398s

The required time it takes= 0.398s

Bottlenose dolphins use echolocation pulses with a frequency of about 100 kHz, higher than the frequencies used by most bats. Wh

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

1. greater

2. direct

3. smaller

4. inverse

Explanation:

The speed of sound in water is greater than in air; hence for the same frequency the sound wavelength in water is <u>greater </u>than in air (for the given frequency the wavelength is in the <u>direct </u>proportion with the speed of sound).

To "see" an object via the echolocation creature needs to use sound with the wavelength <u>smaller </u>than the size of an object viewed.

That means to "see" objects of the same size dolphin and bat need to use ultrasound of the same wavelength, hence dolphin needs to use higher frequency (for the given speed of sound the wavelength is in <u>inverse </u>proportion with the frequency).
