In an experiment, a disk is set into motion such that it rotates with a constant angular speed. As the disk spins, a small spher

e of clay is dropped onto the disk, and the sphere sticks to the disk. All frictional forces are negligible. What would happened to the angular momentum and the total kinetic energy of the disk-sphere system immediately before and after the collision?

Answer:

  L₀ = L_f ,  K_f < K₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we start as the angular momentum, with the friction force they are negligible and if we define the system as formed by the disk and the clay sphere, the forces during the collision are internal and therefore the angular momentum is conserved.

This means that the angular momentum before and after the collision changes.

Initial instant. Before the crash

        L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final moment. Right after the crash

        L_f = (I₀ + mr²) w

we treat the clay sphere as a point particle

how the angular momentum is conserved

       L₀ = L_f

       I₀ w₀ = (I₀ + mr²) w

       w = \frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}   w₀

having the angular velocities we can calculate the kinetic energy

       

starting point. Before the crash

        K₀ = ½ I₀ w₀²

final point. After the crash

        K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) w²

sustitute

        K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²)  ( \frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}   w₀)²

        Kf = ½  \frac{I_o^2}{ I_o + m r^2}   w₀²

we look for the relationship between the kinetic energy

        \frac{K_f}{K_o}=   \frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}

       \frac{K_f}{K_o } < 1

      K_f < K₀          

we see that the kinetic energy is not constant in the process, this implies that part of the energy is transformed into potential energy during the collision

6. A 145-g baseball moving 30.5 m/s strikes a stationary 5.75-kg brick resting on small rollers so it moves without significant
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

momentum of baseball before collision

mass x velocity

= .145 x 30.5

= 4.4225 kg m /s

momentum of brick after collision

= 5.75 x 1.1

= 6.325 kg m/s

Applying conservation of momentum

4.4225 + 0 = .145 x v + 6.325 , v is velocity of baseball after collision.

v = - 13.12 m / s

b )

kinetic energy of baseball  before collision = 1/2 mv²

= .5 x .145 x 30.5²

= 67.44 J

Total kinetic energy before collision = 67.44 J

c )

kinetic energy of baseball after collision = 1/2 x .145 x 13.12²

= 12.48 J .

 kinetic energy of brick after collision

= .5 x 5.75 x 1.1²

= 3.48 J

Total kinetic energy after collision

= 15.96 J

The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 820 kg and the car is moving 36 m/s, wh
Lelechka [254]

In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:

Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

v^2=v^2_o-2ax

where,

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

vo: initial speed = 36m/s

x: distance traveled = 980m

a: deceleration of the car= ?

Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v^2_o-v^2}{2x} \\ a=\frac{(36\frac{m}{s})^2-(0\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(980m)}=0.66\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

F=ma

where,

m: mass of the car = 820 kg

a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2

Replace the previous values and simplify:

F=(820kg)(0.66\frac{m}{s^2})=542.20N

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N

A gas, behaving ideally, fills a fixed volume container at a pressure P₁ and at a temperature T₁. The temperature of the contain
Lynna [10]

Answer:

c. P₁/T₁=P₂/T₂

Explanation:

neither Avogadro’s, Charles’, or Boyle’s law formula can be used, since some parameters like volume is not given,

to find P₂, given P₁, T₁, and T₂ we will therefore use Gay-lussac's law.

gay lussacs law state that, provided volume is kept constant, pressure is directly proportional to temperature.

the volume volume is said to be filled, i.e its is kept constants when temperature is change

At what minimum speed must a roller coaster be traveling when upside down at the top of a circle so that the passengers do not f
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

v_{min} \approx 17.153\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The roller coaster begins with maximum kinetic energy and no gravitational potential energy. The gravitational potential energy reaches its maximum when roller coaster is upside down at the top of the circle. The physical model for the roller coaster is constructed by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{min}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h

The minimum velocity is:

v_{min} = \sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot h}

Let assume that radio of curvature is measured in meters. Hence:

v_{min} = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot(15\,m)}

v_{min} \approx 17.153\,\frac{m}{s}
