A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?

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

Which property of sound waves decreases as the square of the distance from the source increases?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Intensity

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave is equal to the ratio between to the power emitted by the source divided by the area of the spherical surface through which the wave propagates:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

where

P is the power

4\pi r^2 is the area of the spherical surface

r is the distance from the source

As we see from the formula, the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:

I\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

so, intensity is the correct answer.

The Kinetic Molecular Theory helps explain relationships between:
Aleks [24]
The correct answer is<span> gases, energy, temperature, phases

Gravity and nuclear forces are not encompassed in the kinetic molecular theory as it deals with movement and behavior of gas molecules. It does not include their conversion to other types of energy or anything similar. </span>
