Answer:

option E

Explanation:

given,

I is moment of inertia about an axis tangent to its surface.

moment of inertia about the center of mass

I_{CM} = \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2.....(1)

now, moment of inertia about tangent

I= \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2 + mR^2

I= \dfrac{7}{5}mR^2...........(2)

dividing equation (1)/(2)

\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}= \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{5}mR^2}{\dfrac{7}{5}mR^2}

\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}=\dfrac{2}{7}

I_{CM}=\dfrac{2}{7}I

the correct answer is option E

A block is at rest on a plank whose angle can be varied. The angle is gradually increased from 0 deg. At 31.8°, the block starts
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

\mu_s = 0.62

\mu_k = 0.415

The motion of the block is downwards with acceleration 1.7 m/s^2.

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the acceleration using the kinematics equations. We will denote the direction along the incline as x-direction.

x - x_0 = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\3.4 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(2)^2\\a = 1.7~m/s^2

Newton’s Second Law can be used to find the net force applied on the block in the -x-direction.

F = ma\\F = 1.7m

Now, let’s investigate the free-body diagram of the block.

Along the x-direction, there are two forces: The x-component of the block’s weight and the kinetic friction force. Therefore,

F = mg\sin(\theta) - \mu_k mg\cos(\theta)\\1.7m = mg\sin(31.8) - \mu_k mg\cos(31.8)\\1.7 = (9.8)\sin(\theta) - mu_k(9.8)\cos(\theta)\\mu_k = 0.415

As for the static friction, we will consider the angle 31.8, but just before the block starts the move.

mg\sin(31.8) = \mu_s mg\cos(31.8)\\\mu_s = tan(31.8) = 0.62

To introduce you to the concept of escape velocity for a rocket. the escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with whi
Mama L [17]
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R) 

This is the expression for escape velocity.
