Answer:

4.535 N.m

Explanation:

To solve this question, we're going to use the formula for moment of inertia

I = mL²/12

Where

I = moment of inertia

m = mass of the ladder, 7.98 kg

L = length of the ladder, 4.15 m

On solving we have

I = 7.98 * (4.15)² / 12

I = (7.98 * 17.2225) / 12

I = 137.44 / 12

I = 11.45 kg·m²

That is the moment of inertia about the center.

Using this moment of inertia, we multiply it by the angular acceleration to get the needed torque. So that

τ = 11.453 kg·m² * 0.395 rad/s²

τ = 4.535 N·m

A child on a 2.4 kg scooter at rest throws a 2.2 kg ball. The ball is given a speed of 3.1 m/s and the child and scooter move in
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The child's mass is 14.133 kg

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

(m₁ + m₂) × v₁ + m₃ × v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)  × v₃ - m₃ × v₄

We include the negative sign as the velocities were given as moving in the opposite directions

Since the child and the ball are at rest, we have;

v₁ = 0 m/s and v₂= 0 m/s

Hence;

0 = m₁ × v₃ - m₂ × v₄

(m₁ + m₂)× v₃ = m₃ × v₄

Where:

m₁ = Mass of the child

m₂ = Mass of the scooter = 2.4 kg

v₃ = Final velocity of the child and scooter = 0.45 m/s

m₃ = Mass of the ball = 2.4 kg

v₄ = Final velocity of the ball = 3.1 m/s

Plugging the values gives;

(m₁ + 2.4)× 0.45 = 2.4 × 3.1

(m₁ + 2.4) = 16.533

∴ m₁ + 2.4 = 16.533

m₁ = 16.533 - 2.4 = 14.133 kg

The child's mass = 14.133 kg.

Estimate the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 k.
Andrews [41]
<h2>Answer: 10615 nm</h2>

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Wien's displacement law, which relates the wavelength  \lambda_{p} where the intensity of the radiation is maximum (also called peak wavelength) with the temperature T of the black body.

In other words:

<em>There is an inverse relationship between the wavelength at which the emission peak of a blackbody occurs and its temperature.</em>

Being this expresed as:

\lambda_{p}.T=C    (1)

Where:

T is in Kelvin (K)

\lambda_{p} is the <u>wavelength of the emission peak</u> in meters (m).

C is the <u>Wien constant</u>, whose value is 2.898(10)^{-3}m.K

From this we can deduce that the higher the black body temperature, the shorter the maximum wavelength of emission will be.

Now, let's apply equation (1), finding \lambda_{p}:

\lambda_{p}=\frac{C}{T}   (2)

\lambda_{p}=\frac{2.898(10)^{-3}m.K}{273K}  

Finally:

\lambda_{p}=10615(10)^{-9}m=10615nm  This is the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 K, and corresponds to the<u> infrared.</u>

8) Calculate the kinetic energy of a truck that has a mass of 6100 kg and is moving at 55 m/s.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

<h2>9,226,250 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

v is the velocity

m is the mass

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 6100 \times  {55}^{2}  \\  = 3050 \times 3025 \\  = 9226250

We have the final answer as

<h3>9,226,250 J</h3>
