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

What is necessary for a substance to be a conductor of electricity?
Stella [2.4K]
The main requirement for a good conductor of electricity is to have a lot of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons of the outer shells of atoms not bound with other atoms (for example through covalent bounds). These electrons are "free to escape" as soon as an electric field with enough intensity is applied to the material, and therefore these electrons will be free to move in the material producing an electric current.

A force of 15 newtons is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 3 meters. How much work was done?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 45 J</h3>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>workdone = force × distance</h3>

From the question

distance = 3 meters

force = 15 newtons

We have

workdone = 15 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>45 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

For a wire has a circular cross section with a radius of 1.23mm.
Mila [183]

Answer:

5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

Decrease

Explanation:

I = Current = 3.7 A

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

n = Conduction electron density in copper = 8.49\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3

v_d = Drift velocity of electrons

r = Radius = 1.23 mm

Current is given by

I=neAv_d\\\Rightarrow v_d=\dfrac{I}{neA}\\\Rightarrow v_d=\dfrac{3.7}{8.49\times 10^{28}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \pi (1.23\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow v_d=5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

The drift speed of the electrons is 5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

v_d=\dfrac{I}{neA}

From the equation we can see the following

v_d\propto \dfrac{1}{n}

So, if the number of conduction electrons per atom is higher than that of copper the drift velocity will decrease.
