Answer:

a. 0.23J

b. 1.35 m/s

Explanation:

a. U = mgh where where m = mass of the object, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = height

h = L - Lcos(θ) where L = length of the rope, and θ = angle with respect to vertical.

Therefore, U = mg(L - Lcos(θ))

U = 0.25 * 9.8 (0.65m - 0.65cos(31° ))

U = 0.2275 ≈ 0.23J

The gravitational potential energy of the ball before it is released = 0.23J

b. To determine the velocity of the object at the bottom of its motion, all of the energy has gone from gravitational potential into kinetic since at the bottom, the problem says that U = 0. The kinetic energy of an object is given by the following equation:  

K.E=\frac{I}{2}*mv^{2}

where m = mass of the object and v = velocity of the object. Since we know that all of the energy was transferred into kinetic energy at the bottom, we can conclude that:

0.2275=\frac{1}{2} *0.25*v^{2}

v^{2}=\frac{2*0.2275}{0.25}

v^{2}=1.82

v=\sqrt{1.82}=1.3491\\ ≈ 1.35m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball when it reaches the bottom = 1.35m/s

Explanation:

a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is

h = L - L\cos{31°} = L(1 - \cos{31°})

so its initial gravitational potential energy U_0 is

U = mgh = mgL(1 - \cos{31°})

\:\:\:\:\:=(0.25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31})

\:\:\:\:\:=0.23\:\text{J}

b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:

\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0 \Rightarrow K_0 + U_0 = K + U

We know that the initial kinetic energy K_0, as well as its final gravitational potential energy U are zero so we can write the conservation law as

mgL(1 - \cos{31°}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as

v = \sqrt{2gL(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= 1.3\:\text{m/s}

Does visible light make up a relatively large part or a relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum

Explanation:

Let us take a look at the electromagnetic spectrum

Radio waves

Wavelength = 10^3\ m

Microwaves

Wavelength = 10^{-2}\ m

Infrared waves

Wavelength = 10^{-5}\ m

Visible waves

Wavelength = 0.5\times 10^{-6}\ m

Radio waves

Wavelength = 10^3\ m

Ultraviolet waves

Wavelength = 10^{-8}\ m

X ray waves

Wavelength = 10^{-10}\ m

Gamma ray waves

Wavelength = 10^{-12}\ m

So, it can be seen that the visible light makes up a relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Calculate the angular momentum, in kg · m2/s, of an ice skater spinning at 6.00 rev/s given his moment of inertia is 0.310 kg ·
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

a) 11.7 kg. m2/s b) 0.76 Kg. m2 c) -0.33 N.m

Explanation:

a)

  • Assuming no external torques act on the skater, total angular momentum must be conserved:

        L1 = L2

        As the angular momentum can be calculated as the

        product of the moment of inertia times the angular velocity,

we can write:

       I1*ω1 = I2*ω2  

       The initial angular momentum can be written as follows:

       I1*ω1= 0.31 kg.m2 * 6.0 rev/sec  

       As we need to express the angular momentum in kg.m2/s, we need to convert the angular velocity units, from rev/sec to rad/sec, as follows:

       ω1= 6.0 rev/sec (2π rad/ rev) = 12 π rad/sec

       I1*ω1= 0.31 kg.m2 * 12 π rad/sec = 11.7 kg. m2/s

b)

  • As the final angular momentum must be the same, and we know the value of the final angular velocity, we can replace by the values in L2, and solve for I2, as follows:

        I2 = I1*( ω1 / ω2) = 0.31 kg. m2 . 6.0/2.45 = 0.76 kg.m2

c)

  • If an external torque is present, we can write the following equation, that relates the external torque with the rotational inertia and the angular acceleration, as follows:

        Τ= I *γ (1)

        Where γ, is the angular acceleration.

        By definition, γ is the rate of change of the angular velocity,

        so if we have the values of  the initial and final angular

        velocities, and the time passed, we can express γ as

follows:

       γ= (ω2 – ω1) / t

       In order to express γ in rad/sec2, we need to convert the

angular  velocities (given in rev/sec), to rad/sec, as follows:

       ω1= 6.0 rev/sec (2π rad/ rev) = 12 π rad/sec

       ω2= 3.0 rev/sec (2π rad/ rev) = 6 π rad/sec

       Solving for γ:

       γ = -6 π / 18. 0 rad/sec2 = -1.05 rad/sec2

       Replacing in (1), we have:

       τ= 0.31 kg. m2.*(-1.05 rad/sec2) = -0.33 N.m

How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?
charle [14.2K]
<span>The change in internal energy is only gravitional PE because the tube is being drug up at a constant speed. Since it is at a constant speed, the change in KE is 0. Change in PE = m*g*h = 78 kg * 10 m/s^2 * 30 m = 23400 J Work done on the system is from the force Work = force * distance = 350 N * 120 m = 42000 J So, work added 42000 J to the system, but the rider's energy only increased 23400 J. Therefore, friction took up the difference. Friction is where the thermal energy comes from Q = 42000 J - 23400 J = 18600 J. Therfore, friction generated 18600 J of heat to the surroundings.</span>
