Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Why do astronauts float aboard the international space station?
lianna [129]
They’re falling toward earth & moving forward at about the same velocity. because the downward and forward forces are nearly equal, the astronauts are not pulled in any specific direction, so they float . <span>

Two carts, one of mass 2m and one of mass m, approach each other with the same speed, v. When the carts collide, they hook toget
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

<em>Second option</em>

Explanation:

<u>Linear Momentum</u>

The linear momentum of an object of mass m and speed v is

P=mv

If two or more objects are interacting in the same axis, the total momentum is

P_t=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...

Where the speeds must be signed according to a fixed reference

The images show a cart of mass 2m moves to the left with speed v since our reference is positive to the right

P_1=-2mv

The second cart of mass m goes to the right at a speed v

P_2=mv

The total momentum before the impact is

P_t=-2mv+mv=-mv

The total momentum after the collision is negative, both carts will join and go to the left side

The first option shows both carts with the same momentum before the collision and therefore, zero momentum after. It's not correct as we have already proven

The third option shows the 2m cart has a positive greater momentum than the other one. We have proven the 2m car has negative momentum. This option is not correct either

The fourth option shows the two carts keep separated after the collision, which contradicts the condition of the question regarding "they hook together".

The second option is the correct one because the mass m_2 has a negative momentum and then the sum of both masses keeps being negative
