To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

I = MR^2

Here,

M = Mass

R = Radius of the hoop

The precession frequency is given as

\Omega = \frac{Mgd}{I\omega}

Here,

M = Mass

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d = Distance of center of mass from pivot

I = Moment of inertia

\omega= Angular velocity

Replacing the value for moment of inertia

\Omega= \frac{MgR}{MR^2 \omega}

\Omega = \frac{g}{R\omega}

The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then

\omega = 1000rpm (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})

\omega = 104.7rad/s

Replacing our values we have that

\Omega = \frac{9.8m/s^2}{(8*10^{-2}m)(104.7rad)}

\Omega = 1.17rad/s

The precession frequency is

\Omega = \frac{2\pi rad}{T}

T = \frac{2\pi rad}{\Omega}

T = \frac{2\pi}{1.17}

T = 5.4 s

Therefore the precession period is 5.4s

If a car goes at a speed of 80 kph in 10 seconds, what is the distance
Blababa [14]

Answer:222 meters

Explanation:

Speed=80kph=(80x5/18)=(80x5)/18=22.2m/s

Time=10 seconds

distance=speed x time

distance=22.2 x 10

distance=222

distance=222 meters

A girl of mass 55 kg throws a ball of mass 0.80 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 25 m/s
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N

Explanation:

Given

Contact Time = t = 0.05 seconds

Mass (of ball) = 0.80kg

Initial Velocity = u = 25m/s

Final Velocity = 25m/s

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is given by;

F = ma

Where m = 0.8kg

a = Average Acceleration

a = (u + v)/t

a = (25 + 25)/0.05

a = 50/0.05

a = 1000m/s²

Average Force = Mass * Average Acceleration

Average Force = 0.8kg * 1000m/s²

Average Force = 800kgm/s²

Average Force = 800N

Hence, the magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N
