A thin uniform rod (length = 1.2 m, mass = 2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (
Anika [276]

Answer:

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

Torque, \tau is given by

\tau=Fr where F is force and r is perpendicular distance

R=0.5Lcos\theta where \theta is the angle of inclination

Torque, \tau can also be found by

\tau=Ia where I is moment of inertia and a is angular acceleration

Therefore, Fr=Ia and F=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Making a the subject, a=\frac {Fr}{I}=\frac {mgr}{I} and already I is given as  

I=\frac {mL^{2}}{3} and r is 0.5Lcos\theta hence  

a=\frac {0.5mgLcos\theta}{1/3 mL^{2}}

a=\frac {3gcos\theta}{2L}

Taking g as 9.81, \theta is given as 37 and L is 1.2

a=\frac {3*9.81cos37}{2*1.2}=9.7932679419

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni
stiv31 [10]
The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N

A water wheel rotates with a period of 2.26 s. If the water wheel has a radius of l.94 m,
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel.  So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.

The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as

V_{r} = 2π r / T

Where

π is Pi which mathematically is approximately 3.14159

T is period of time

Vr is Velocity of the point on the edge of the wheel

The answer is left in Meters/Seconds so we will work with our information as is given in the question.

Vr = (2 x 3.14159 x 1.94m)/2.26

Vr = 12.1893692/2.26

Vr = 5.39352619469

Which is approximately 5.39

Cheers!

What do we mean when we say that energy levels are quantized in atoms?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Electrons are located in specific orbit corresponding to discrete energy levels

Explanation:

In Bohr's model of the atom, electron orbit the nucleus in specific levels, each of them corresponding to a specific energy. The electrons cannot be located in the space between two levels: this means that only some values of energy are possible for the electrons, so the energy levels are quantized.

A confirmation of Bohr's model is found in the spectrum of emission of gases. In fact, when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon whose energy is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels: since the energy levels are discrete, this means that the emitted photons cannot have any value of wavelength, but also their wavelength will appear as a discrete spectrum. This is exactly what it is observed in the spectrum of emission of gases.
