The wheel having a mass of 100 kg and a radius of gyration about the z axis of kz=300mm, rests on the smooth horizontal plane.a.
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

a) 20 rad/s

b) 6 m/s

Explanation:

b) Force acting on the wheel is 200 N

mass of the wheel is 100 kg

From Newton's second law of motion, F = m × a

Where F is the net force acting on the body

m is mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

By substituting the values we get, a = 2 m/s²

As acceleration is constant, we can use the below formula for calculating the final velocity of the object

v = u + a × t

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

u = 0 (∵ it starts from rest)

By substituting the values we get

v = 0 + 2 × 3 = 6 m/s

∴ Speed of center of mass after 3 seconds = 6 m/s

a) As the wheel rotates about z-axis, radius of gyration will be the radius of wheel

∴ Radius of the wheel = 300 mm

Torque acting on the wheel about axis of rotation = 300 mm × 200 N =

60 N·m

Torque = (Moment of inertia) × (angular acceleration)

Assuming that the mass of spokes of the wheel to be negligible,

Moment of inertia of the wheel about axis of rotation = 100 × 300² × 10^{-6} = 9 kg·m²

Then,

60 = 9 × (angular acceleration)

∴ angular acceleration ≈ 6·67 rad/s²

As angular acceleration of the wheel is constant, we can use the below formula for calculation of final angular speed

w_{f} = w_{i} + α × t

Where

w_{f} is the final angular velocity

w_{i} is the initial angular velocity

α is the angular acceleration

t is the time taken

w_{i} is 0 (∵ initially it starts from rest)

By substituting the values we get

w_{f} = 6·67 × 3 = 20 rad/s

∴ Angular velocity of the wheel after three seconds = 20 rad/s

Calculate the orbital period for Jupiter's moon Io, which orbits 4.22×10^5km from the planet's center (M=1.9×10^27kg) .
Verdich [7]

According to the <u>Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion</u> “<em>The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.</em>



In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit.



This Law is originally expressed as follows:



<h2>T^{2} =\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}    (1) </h2>

Where;


G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}



M=1.9(10^{27})kg is the mass of Jupiter


a=4.22(10^{5})km=4.22(10^{8})m  is the semimajor axis of the orbit Io describes around Jupiter (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)



If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:



<h2>T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}    (2) </h2>

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}1.9(10^{27})kg}(4.22(10^{8})m)^{3}}    



T=\sqrt{\frac{2.966(10^{27})m^{3}}{1.268(10^{17})m^{3}/s^{2}}}    



T=\sqrt{2.339(10^{10})s^{2}}    



Then:


<h2>T=152938.0934s    (3) </h2>

Which is the same as:



<h2>T=42.482h     </h2>

Therefore, the answer is:



The orbital period of Io is 42.482 h

A toy car moves 8 min 4 s at the constant velocity. What is the car's velocity?
Schach [20]

Explanation:

<u>Formula:</u>

velocity = (d \div t)

<u>d = distance given</u>

<u>t</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>the amount of time </u><u>given</u>

<u>Substitute the given values into the formula for velocity</u><u>:</u>

v = 8 \div 4

velocity is shortened for v.

8 (distance) divided by 4 (time) equals the velocity.

<u>Solve:</u>

2 = 8 \div 4

The velocity of the toy car equals: B. 2 m/s.

Solutions with ions that react with acids or bases to lessen their effects are fubrefs
Softa [21]

Answer:

Buffers

Explanation:

A buffer solution is a solution containing weak acids and their salts or weak bases and their salts.

A buffer solution is an equilibrium system that resists changes in pH or pOH when a small amount of an acid or base is added hence it is a solution of fairly constant pH value.
