The Earth's rotational kinetic energy is the kinetic Energy that the Earth

has due to rotation.

The rotational kinetic energy of the Earth is approximately <u>3.331 × 10³⁶ J</u>

Reasons:

<em>The parameters required for the question are;  </em>

<em>Mass of the Earth, M = </em><em>5.97 × 10²⁴ kg</em>

<em>Radius of the Earth, R = </em><em>6.38 × 10⁶ m</em>

<em>The rotational period of the Earth, T = </em><em>24.0 hrs</em><em>.</em>

The \ moment  \ of \  inertia \  of \  uniform \  sphere \  is \ I =   \mathbf{\dfrac{2}{5} \cdot M \cdot R^2}

Which gives;

\mathbf{I_{Earth}} =   \dfrac{2}{5} \times 5.97 \times 10 ^{24} \cdot \left(6.38 \times 10^6 \right)^2 = 9.7202107 \times 10^{37}

\mathrm{The \ rotational \  kinetic  \ energy \  is} \   E_{rotational} = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot I \cdot \omega^2}

\mathrm{The \ angular \ speed, \ \omega} = \mathbf{\dfrac{2 \dcdot \pi}{T}}

Therefore;

\omega = \dfrac{2 \cdot \pi}{24}  = \dfrac{\pi}{24}

Which gives;

\mathbf{E_{rotational}} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times  9.7202107 \times 10^{37} \times  \left(  \dfrac{\pi}{12} \right)^2 = 3.331 \times 10^{36}

The rotational kinetic energy of the Earth, E_{rotational} = <u>3.331 × 10³⁶ Joules</u>

A pendulum built from a steel sphere with radius r cm 5 and density stl kg m S 3 7800 is attached to an aluminum bar with length
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

a)  I = 0.0198 kg m² ,  b)    I = 21.85 kg m²

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the definition of moment of inertia

        I = ∫ r² dm

For body with high symmetry they are tabulated

sphere  I = 2/5 m r²

bar with respect to  center of mass I = 1/12 m L²

let's calculate the mass of each body

bar

        ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

        m = ρ l w h

where we are given the density of the bar rho = 32840 kg / m³ and its dimensions 1 m, 0.8 cm and 4 cm

        m = 32820 1 0.008 0.04

        m = 10.5 kg

Sphere

       M = ρ V

       V = 4/3 pi r³

       M = rgo 4/3 π r³

give us the density 37800 kg / m³ and the radius of 5 cm

       M = 37800 4/3 π 0.05³

       M = 19.8 kg

a) asks us for the moment of inertia of the sphere with respect to its center of mass

        I = 2/5 M r²

        I = 2/5 19.8 0.05²

        I = 0.0198 kg m²

b) the moment of inertia with respect to the turning point, for this we will use the theorem of parallel axes

        I = I_cm + M d2

where d is the distance from the body to the point of interest

        I_cm = 0.0198 kg m²

the distance to the pivot point is

        l = length of the bar + radius of the sphere

        l = 1 + 0.05 = 1.005 m

        I = 0.0198 + 19.8 1.05²

        I = 21.85 kg m²

Given the force diagram of the basketball, what can you tell about the basketball motion?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Newton's laws allow to find the result for the movement of the basketballl:

  • On the vertical axis the ball is on the ground.
  • On the horizontal axis the ball is accelerating in the direction of the pushing force.

Newton's laws establish the relationship between the forces on objects:

  • The 1st law states that if the net force is zero the object is stationary or with constant speed.
  • The 2nd law gives a relation of the force with the mass and the acceleration of the body.
  • The 3rd. Law states that the force appears in pairs, one on each body with the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction.

Let's apply these principles to the ball's motion diagram.

The two vertical forces are in the opposite direction, one is due to the weight of the body and the other is the attraction of the earth to the support of the ball, they are of equal magnitude, not their action-reaction force and reluctant because it is applied to the same body

       In conclusion we can say that the ball is on the ground.

The two horizontal forces are in the opposite direction, the thrust force is greater than the friction therefore using Newton's second law the ball must be accelerating in the direction of the thrust force.

       In conclusion we can say that the ball is accelerating in the direction of the pushing force.

In conclusion using Newton's laws we can find the result for the motion of the basketball:

  • On the vertical axis the ball is on the ground.
  • On the horizontal axis the ball is accelerating in the direction of the pushing force.

1. A soccer player kicks a soccer ball towards the goal. If she kicks it with a velocity of 24 m/s at an angle of 31 degrees abo
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

<em>The ball will go as high as 8.46 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

It's the type of motion that experiences an object launched at a certain height above the ground and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.

Being vo the initial speed of the object, θ the initial launch angle, and g the acceleration of gravity, then the maximum height hm can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle h_m=\frac{v_o^2\cdot \sin^2\theta}{2g}

The soccer ball is kicked at a speed of vo=24 m/s at an angle of θ=31°. Taking the value of g=9.8 m/s^2, then:

\displaystyle h_m=\frac{24^2\cdot \sin^2 31^\circ}{2\cdot 9.8}

\displaystyle h_m=\frac{576\cdot 0.2653}{19.6}

h_m=7.80~m

The ball will go as high as 8.46 m

If four students separately measure the density of a rock, and they all have very low percent
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Their measured results are closer to the exact or true value. Hence, their measured value is considered to be more accurate.

Explanation:

Considering the situation described above, the accuracy of a measured value depicts how closely a measured value is to the accurate value.

Hence, since the students' measured values have very low percent differences, it shows the similarity of computations or estimates to the actual values, which in turn offers a smaller measurement error.

Therefore, their measured results are closer to the exact or true value, which implies that their measured value is considered to be more accurate.
