In a physics lab experiment for the determination of moment of inertia, a team weighs an object and finds a mass of 2.15 kg. The

y then hang the object on a pivot located 0.163 m from the object's center of mass and set it swinging at a small amplitude. As two of the team members carefully count 113 cycles of oscillation, the third member measures a duration of 241 s. What is the moment of inertia of the object with respect to its center of mass about an axis parallel to the pivot axis

Answer:

0.339 kgm²

Explanation:

We know the period of this pendulum, T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of the object about the pivot axis, m = mass of object = 2.15 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of center of mass of object from pivot point = 0.163 m.

Since T = 2π√(I/mgh), making I subject of the formula, we have

I = mghT²/4π²

Now since it takes 241 s to complete 113 cycles, then it takes 241 s/113 cycles to complete one cycle.

So, T = 241 s/113 = 2.133 s

So, Substituting the values of the variables into I, we have

I = mghT²/4π²

I = 2.15 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.163 m × (2.133 s)²/4π²

I = 15.63/4π² kgm²

I = 0.396 kgm²

Now from the parallel axis theorem, I = I' + mh² where I' = moment of inertia of object with respect to its center of mass about an axis parallel to the pivot axis

I' = I - mh²

I' = 0.396 kgm² - 2.15 kg × (0.163 m)²

I' = 0.396 kgm² - 0.057 kgm²

I' = 0.339 kgm²

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit
Margaret [11]

Let  us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are  separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as -  F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }   where G is the gravitational force constant.

From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and F\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }

Let the orbital radius of planet  A is r_{1}  = r and mass of planet is m_{1}.

Let the mass of central star is m .

Hence the gravitational force for planet A  is f_{1} =G \frac{m_{1}*m }{r^{2} }

For planet B the orbital radius  r_{2} =2r_{1} and mass m_{2} = 3 m_{1}

Hence the gravitational force f_{2} =G\frac{m m_{2} }{r^{2} }

                                                 f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }

                                                 = \frac{3}{4} G\frac{mm_{1} }{r_{1} ^{2} }

Hence the ratio is  \frac{f_{2} }{f_{1} } = \frac{\frac{3}{4}G mm_{1/r_{1} ^2}  }{Gmm_{1}/r_{1} ^2 }

                                      =\frac{3}{4}     [ ans]

A gymnast of mass 63.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium

T = mg

= 63 x 9.81

= 618.03 N

B )

When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.

T = mg

= 618.03 N

C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force on it = T - mg   , acting in upward direction

T - mg = m a

T =  mg + m a

= m ( g + a )

= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)

= 655.83 N

D )  If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force acting in downward direction

mg - T = ma

T = m ( g - a )

= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )

= 580.23 N

A scuba diver is sitting on a boat while waiting to go on a dive and sees light reflected from the water's surface. At what angl
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

θ_p = 53.0º

Explanation:

For reflection polarization occurs when a beam is reflected at the interface between two means, the polarization in total when the angle between the reflected and the transmitted beam is 90º

Let's write the transmission equation

     n1 sin θ₁ = ne sin θ₂

The angle to normal (vertcal) is

    180 = θ2 + 90 + θ_p

    θ₂ = 90 - θ_p

Where θ₂ is the angle of the transmitted ray θ_p is the angle of the reflected polarized ray

We replace

     n1 sin θ_p = n2 sin (90 - θ_p)

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

    Sin (90- θ_p) = sin 90 cos θ_p - cos 90 sin θ_p = cos θ_p

In the law of reflection  incident angle equals reflected angle,  

    ni sin θ_p = ns cos θ_p

    n₂ / n₁ = sin θ_p / cos θ_p

    n₂ / n₁ = tan θ_p

    θ_p = tan⁻¹ (n₂ / n₁)

Now we can calculate it

The refractive index of air is 1 (n1 = 1) the refractive index of seawater varies between 1.33 and 1.40 depending on the amount of salts dissolved in the water

n₂ = 1.33

      θ_p = tan⁻¹ (1.33 / 1)

      θ_p = 53.0º

n₂ = 1.40

      θ_p = tan⁻¹ (1.40 / 1)

      Tep = 54.5º
