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

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Rate at which current flows is measured in amperes

Explanation:

The rate of flow of electrons constitutes the current. The electrons flow from lower electric potential to higher electric potential. When there is no potential difference then no electron will flow. The direction of the current and the electron are in opposite direction.

The direction of electron from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. The direction of current is from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.The current is measured in ampere.    

The expression for current and the charge is as;

I=\frac{q}{t}

Here, q is the charge, t is the time taken and I is the current.

According to the given problem, Jodi made a list about electric current to help her study for a test. He described that electrons move from areas of low to high electric potential, voltage causes current to flow and movement of electrons is continuous in a current.

But he did error. It should be "rate at which charges flow" instead of rate at which current flow.

Therefore, the option (4) is correct.

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

On the cotnrary, since acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=maximum, then the force is maximum, and so the acceleration is maximum as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

A. when the mass has a speed of zero
