A student sits on a rotating stool holding two 3.09-kg masses. When his arms are extended horizontally, the masses are 1.08 m fr

om the axis of rotation, and he rotates with an angular speed of 0.770 rad/s. The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is 3.25 kg⋅m2 and is assumed to be constant. (Note that this moment of inertia does not include the two 3.09-kg masses.) The student then pulls the masses horizontally to 0.34 m from the rotation axis. (a) Find the new angular speed of the student. Find the kinetic energy of the rotating system (student, stool, and masses) (b) before and (c) after the masses are pulled in. Caution: There are two weights.

Answer:

a

The New angular speed is  w_f = 2.034 rad/s

b

The Kinetic energy before the masses are pulled in is  KE_i = 3.101 \ J

c

The Kinetic energy after the masses are pulled in is   KE_f = 8.192 \ J

Explanation:

From the we are told that masses are 1.08 m from the axis of rotation, this means that

             The radius r =1.08m

              The  mass is m = 3.09\  kg

              The  angular speed w = 0.770 \ rad/sec

  The moment of inertia of the system excluding the two mass I = 3.25 \ kg \cdot m^2

           New radius  r_{new} = 0.34m

             

Generally the conservation of angular momentum can be mathematical represented as

                         w_f = [\frac{I_i}{I_f} ]w_i .....(1)

Where w_f is the final angular speed

           w_i is the initial  angular speed

          I_i is the initial moment of inertia

           I_f is the final moment of inertia

Moment of inertia is mathematically represented as

                       I = m r^2

Where I is the moment of inertia

          m is the mass

           r is the radius

So the Initial moment of inertia is given as  

     I_i = moment \ of \  inertia \ of\  the  \ two \  mass \ + 3.25 \ kg \cdot m^2

     I_i = 2m r^2 + 3.25

The multiplication by is because we are considering two masses

    I_i = 2 [(3.09)(1.08)^2] +3.25 = 10.46 kg \cdot m^2

So the final  moment of inertia is given as  

     I_f = 2[(3.09)(0.34)^2] +3.25 = 3.96 \ kg \cdot m^2      

Substituting these values into equation 1

         w_f = [\frac{10.46}{3.96} ] * 0.77 = 2.034 \ rad/sec                                                          

Generally Kinetic energy is mathematically represented in term of moment of inertia as

                       KE = \frac{1}{2} * I * w^2

Now considering the kinetic energy before the masses are pulled in,

                     KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * I_i * w^2_i

The Moment of inertia would be  I_i = 10.46 \ Kg \cdot m^2

  The Angular speed would be  w_i = 0.77 \ rad/s

Now substituting these value into the equation above

              KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * (10.46) * (0.770)^2 = 3.101 J

Now considering the kinetic energy after the masses are pulled in,                      

               KE_f = \frac{1}{2} * I_f * w^2_f

The Moment of inertia would be  I_f = 3.96 \ Kg \cdot m^2

The Angular speed would be  w_f = 2.034 \ rad/s

Now substituting these value into the equation above

                        KE_f= \frac{1}{2} *(3.96)(2.034)^2  

                        = 8.192J

Two charges separated by 1 m exert 1 N forces on each other. If the charges are pushed to 1/4m separation, the force on each cha
Sloan [31]

Answer:

<em>The force on each charge = 16 N</em>

Explanation:

From coulombs law,

F = 1/4πε₀(q₁q₂)/d²........................ Equation 1

q₁q₂ = F4πε₀d²...................... Equation 2

Where F = force on the two charges, q₁ = charge on the first body, q₂ = charge on the second body, d = distance of separation, 1/4πε₀ = constant of proportionality.

<em>When d = 1 m, F = 1 N,</em>

<em>Constant: 1/4πε₀ = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2,</em>

<em>q₁q₂ = 1×1²/9×10⁹ </em>

<em>q₁q₂ = 1/9×10⁹  C²</em>

<em>When d = 1/4 m, q₁q₂ = 1/9×10⁹  C² and 1/4πε₀ = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>F =  9×10⁹×1/9×10⁹ /(1/4)²</em>

<em>F = 1/(1/16)</em>

<em>F = 16 N</em>

<em>Therefore the force on each charge = 16 N</em>

How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles
love history [14]

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.

Which of these factors will increase the speed of a sound wave in air?
Artemon [7]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

-Temperature

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Sound is a type of mechanical wave, which means it requires a material medium for transmission. It results from the vibration of particles.
  • The speed of sound in mediums varies depending on the property of the medium and a number of other factors which includes; temperature, pressure,  and humidity.
  • Temperature increases the speed of sound wave as particles at higher temperatures tend to possess more energy and thus they will vibrate faster and thus the sound wave will travel faster.
