A thin rod (length = 1.09 m) is oriented vertically, with its bottom end attached to the floor by means of a frictionless hinge.

The mass of the rod may be ignored, compared to the mass of the object fixed to the top of the rod.
The rod, starting from rest, tips over and rotates downward.

(a) What is the angular speed of the rod just before it strikes the floor?

(Hint: Consider using the principle of conservation of mechanical energy.)

(b) What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the rod just before it strikes the floor?

Answer:

a) w = 4.24 rad / s , b) α  = 8.99 rad / s²

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use the conservation of kinetic energy,

Initial. Vertical bar

        Emo = U = m g h

Final. Just before touching the floor

       Emf = K = ½ I w2

As there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserved

       Emo = emf

       mgh = ½ m w²

The moment of inertial of a point mass is

        I = m L²

       m g h = ½ (m L²) w²

       w = √ 2gh / L²

The initial height h when the bar is vertical is equal to the length of the bar

         h = L

         w = √ 2g / L

Let's calculate

       w = RA (2 9.8 / 1.09)

       w = 4.24 rad / s

b) Let's use Newton's equation for rotational motion

         τ = I α

         F L = (m L²) α

The force applied is the weight of the object, which is at a distance L from the point of gro

         mg L = m L² α  

          α  = g / L

          α  = 9.8 / 1.09

          α  = 8.99 rad / s²

A wire with a current of 3.40 A is to be formed into a circular loop of one turn. If the required value of the magnetic field at
Sloan [31]

Answer:

0.107 m

Explanation:

The magnetic field at the center of a current-carrying loop is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I is the current

r is the radius of the loop

In this problem we have

I = 3.40 A is the current in the loop

B=20 \mu T=20\cdot 10^{-6}T is the magnetic field at the centre of the loop

So, solving the formula for r we find

r=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2B}=\frac{(12.56\cdot 10^{-7} H/m)(3.40 A)}{2(20\cdot 10^{-6} T)}=0.107 m

These four surfaces are opaque; that is they reflect or absorb certain rays of light determine the color
masya89 [10]
In the first figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for green light, which is reflected: so, the surface will appear as green to our eyes, because green is the only color which is reflected by that surface.

Similarly, in the  second figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for blue, and so the surface will appear blue to our eyes.

In the third figure, the surface absorbs all colors, so it will appear black to our eyes (because no colors are reflected, and black=absence of colors).

In the fourth figure, all colors are reflected: this means the surface will appear white to our eyes (white= sum of all colors).

A space explorer is moving through space far from any planet or star. He notices a large rock, taken as a specimen from an alien
yaroslaw [1]
He should push it gently.
This is because the forces of resistance this situation are minimal, so the rock will not slow as it would on Earth. Kicking the rock may result in it travelling too fast and hitting something else, causing damage. Moreover, the rock could start rebounding off of surfaces and create havoc.

What type of heat transfer is boiling water??
beks73 [17]
Heat can be transferred from one place to another by three methods:

conduction in solids,

convection of fluids (liquids or gases),

radiation through anything that will allow radiation to pass.

A sailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5​​​​m​​/s2 for 4s. After t
Pavlova-9 [17]
Taking right movement to be positive means leftward movement is negative.
Hence we have a deceleration of
a = - 2.5 {ms}^{ - 2}

t = 4s
v = 3.0 {ms}^{ - 1}
Using this 'suvat' equation
v = u + at
we can determine the initial velocity

3.0= u + -2.5(4)

3.0+2.5(4)=u

13.0 = u

Hence the initial velocity is 13.0 meters per seconds
