The equivalent of Newton's second law for rotational objects is given by:
where
is the net torque acting on the object
is its moment of inertia
is its angular acceleration
For a hoop rotating around its perpendicular axis, the moment of inertia is
where m is the mass and r the radius. By using the data of the wheel, m=0.750 kg and r=33.0 cm=0.33 m, we find
and since the torque is
, the angular acceleration of the wheel is
Answer:
a. 2500 cm³.
b. 2.5 litres.
Explanation:
Given the following data:
Density = 0.8g/cm³
Mass = 2000g
To find the volume of the petrol;
Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.
Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.
Mathematically, density is given by the equation;
Making volume the subject of formula, we have;
Substituting into the equation, we have:
Volume = 2500 cm³
a. The volume of the petrol in the can in cubic centimeters (cm³) is 2000.
b. The volume of the petrol in the can in litres;
1000 cm³ = 1 litre
2500 cm³ = x litres
Cross-multiplying, we have;
1000x = 2500
x = 2500/1000
x = 2.5 litres.
Therefore, the volume of the petrol in the can in litres is 2.5.
Due to friction from sliding against the ground, the player decelerates in 1 direction. Thus his momentum decreases.
J.J. Thomson used a cathode ray tube to discover the electron. Cathode ray tubes are vacuum tubes that contain two electrodes - one on each side. One of the electrodes (the cathode) fires electrons at the other (the anode) when voltage is added to the system.
