At the end of one full time period, the ant has returned to where it was at the beginning of the time period. Its displacement is <em>zero</em>.
Answer:
a) The rotational inertia when it passes through the midpoints of opposite sides and lies in the plane of the square is 16.8 kg m²
b) I = 50.39 kg m²
c) I = 16.8 kg m²
Explanation:
a) Given data:
m = 0.98 kg
a = 4.14 * 4.14
The moment of inertia is:

For 4 particles:

b) Distance from top left mass = x = a/2
Distance from bottom left mass = x = a/2
Distance from top right mass = x = √5 (a/2)
The total moment of inertia is:

c)

It can be measured by an ammeter.
Answer:
50
Explanation:
The mechanical advantage of a machine is given by

where
is the output force
is the input force
For the crowbar in this problem,
is the force in input applied by the worker
is the force that the machine must apply in output to overcome the resistance of the window and to open it
Substituting into the equation, we find
