Question 8: Unspooling Thread (100 points) A 110 g spool of thread with a 4.2 cm radius is held up by a peg through its center a

nd allowed to freely rotate. Assume the thread is ideal (i.e., it does not stretch or slip, and its mass is negligibly small). A 160 g needle is tied to the loose end of the thread. The needle is dropped, and it accelerates to the floor as the thread unwinds. Find the tension in the thread and the magnitude of the acceleration of the needle as it falls.

Answer:

   a = 7.29 m / s²,      T = 0.40 N

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we must apply Newton's second law to each body

The needle

              W -T = m a

              mg - T = ma

The spool, which we will approach by a cylinder

             Σ τ = I α

             T R = I α

the moment of inertia of a cylinder with an axis through its center is

             I = ½ M R²

angular and linear variables are related

            a = α R

            α = a / R

we substitute

           T R = (½ M R²) a / R

            T = ½ M a

we write our system of equations together

              mg - T = m a

                      T = ½ M a

we solve

              m g = (m + ½ M) a

              a = \frac{m}{m + \frac{1}{2} M}  \ g

let's calculate

              a = \frac{0.160}{0.160 + \frac{1}{2} 0.110} \ 9.8

              a = 7.29 m / s²

now we can look for the tension

              T = ½ M a

              T = ½ 0.110 7.29

               T = 0.40 N

"what information does the slope of the line give you when graphing the pressure versus 1/volume at constant temperature for 1 m
Rashid [163]
Hello!

The slope of the line given by graphing pressure vs 1/Volume at constant temp for one mole of gas will give you the value for nRT from equation PV=nRT

So set nRT=slope and take the constant number mole of gas and the constant temp and solve for R the universal gas constant. You arm for pressure and litters for volume to get R in units of L*atm/mol*k

Hope this helps you! Thanks!!

Part a consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average r
Alex787 [66]
<span>436 km The conversion factor between kilocalorie/hour and watts is 1.163 (1 kcal/hr = 1.163 watt). So let's convert the energy consumption of the bird from watts to kcal/hr 3.7 w / 1.163 w hr/kcal = 3.18 kcal /hr 1 gram of fat has 9 kcal, so the total number of kcals consumed will be 4 * 9 = 36. So the bird can fly for 36/3.18 = 11.32 hours The distance traveled will be 11.32 h * 3600 s/h * 10.7 m/s / 1000 m/km = 436 km</span>

Why do polar compounds tend to have higher melting points than nonpolar compounds
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The inter-molecular forces holding non-polar compounds together is low compare to that of polar compounds. Therefore, it will take less energy to break the bond for non-polar compounds and vice versa. That is why polar compounds have higher melting points than non-polar compounds.
