A disk with a rotational inertia of 2.0 kg m2 and a radius of 1.6 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axis perpendicular to

the disk's face and passing through its center. A force of 5.0 N is applied tangentially to the rim of the disk. What is the angular acceleration of the disk as a result of this applied force?
a) 4.0 rad/s2
b) 1.0 rad/s2
c) 2.0 rad/s2
d) 0.40 rad/s2
e) 0.80 rad/s2

Answer:

a) 4.0 rad/s2

Explanation:

  • For rigid bodies, Newton's 2nd law becomes :

       τ = I  * α (1)

        where τ is the net external torque applied, I is the rotational inertia

       of  the body with respect to the axis of rotation, and α is the angular

       acceleration caused by the torque.

  • At the same time, we can apply the definition of torque to the left side of (1), as follows:

       \tau = F*r*sin \theta (2)

       where τ = external net torque applied by Fnet, r is the distance    

       between the axis of rotation and the line of Fnet, and θ is the

      angle between both vectors.

      In this particular case, as Fnet  is applied tangentially to the disk, Fnet

     and r are perpendicular each other.

  • Since left sides of (1) and (2) are equal each other, right sides are equal too, so we can solve for the angular acceleration as follows:

       \alpha = \frac{F*r}{I} = \frac{5.0N*1.6m}{2.0 kg*m2} = 4.0 rad/s2  (3)

What is the difference between distance and displacement? Give an example of a situation where distance and displacement both ha
Oksana_A [137]

Explanation :

Distance is total path travelled by an object during its entire journey. It is a scalar quantity i.e only magnitude.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by an object. It is basically the change in position of object. It is a vector quantity i.e direction as well as magnitude.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and stops at the end point, then both distance and displacement are same.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and then changes its direction or we can say come backwards then the magnitude of distance and displacement are different.

What solutes do not dissolve well in water?
hammer [34]

Answer:

Many substances do not dissolve in water and that is because they are non-polar and do not interact well with water molecules. A common example is oil and water. Oil contains molecules that are non-polar, thus they do not dissolve in water.
