A 0.200-m uniform bar has a mass of 0.795 kg and is released from rest in the vertical position, as the drawing indicates. The s

aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

Since, the rod is present in vertical position and the spring is unrestrained.

So, initial potential energy stored in the spring is $U_{s}$ = 0

And, initial potential gravitational potential energy of the rod is $U_{g} = \frac{mgL}{2}$ .

It is given that,

mass of the bar = 0.795 kg

g = 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

L = length of the rod = 0.2 m

Initial total energy T = $\frac{mgL}{2}$

Now, when the rod is in horizontal position then final total energy will be as follows.

T = $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + I \omega^{2}$

where, I = moment of inertia of the rod about the end = $\frac{mL^{2}}{3}$

Also, $\omega = \frac{\nu}{L}$

where, $\nu$ = speed of the tip of the rod

x = spring extension

The initial unstrained length is $x_{o}$ = 0.1 m

Therefore, final length will be calculated as follows.

x' = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m

Then, x = $x' - x_{o}$

x = $\sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}}$ m - 0.1 m

= 0.1236 m

k = 25 N/m

So, according to the law of conservation of energy

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1 \times mL^{2}}{2 \times 3}(\frac{\nu}{L})^{2}$

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}$

$\frac{0.795 kg \times 9.8 \times 0.2 m}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 27 N/m \times (0.1236)^{2} + \frac{1}{6} \times 0.795 \times v^{2}$

v = 2.079 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that tangential speed with which end A strikes the horizontal surface is 2.079 m/s.

a lamp or bulb is marked 12 volt 240 Watts how many joules does it consume in one hour and what is the current that passes throu

valkas [14]

Answer:

1 watt is 1 Joule per second. 240 watt would then be 240 joules per second. How many seconds are there in an hour? Current formula is P= IV , P is 240(not the power in an hour because the current is calculated in seconds), and V is 12V. Then you will get I, the current.

Sally takes two bar magnets and randomly tapes one end of each bar magnet. she labels the magnets A and B. She brings the taped

Artyom0805 [142]

I already answered this quesiton. The fact is that there are only two kind of poles and since the two taped poles of the magnets labeled A and B attracts one to each other, we know that the two taped poles of the first two magnets are oppsosite.

Then, the taped pole of the third magnet has to be equal to one of the first two taped poles and opposite to the other of the first two taped poles.

That drives you to conclude (predict) that when she brings the taped end of the third magnet (magnet C) near each of the first two magntes, in one case they will attract each other and in the other case they will repele mutually.
