A rod of mass M = 2.95 kg and length L can rotate about a hinge at its left end and is initially at rest. A putty ball of mass m = 45 g, moving with speed v = 4.23 m/s, strikes the rod at angle θ = 46° from the normal at a distance D = 2/3 L, where L = 0.95 m, from the point of rotation and sticks to the rod after the collision.
Required:
What is the angular speed ωf of the system immediately after the collision, in terms of system parameters and I?
Answer:
Explanation:
angular momentum of the putty about the point of rotation
= mvR where m is mass , v is velocity of the putty and R is perpendicular distance between line of velocity and point of rotation .
= .045 x 4.23 x 2/3 x .95 cos46
= .0837 units
moment of inertia of rod = ml² / 3 , m is mass of rod and l is length
= 2.95 x .95² / 3
I₁ = .8874 units
moment of inertia of rod + putty
I₁ + mr²
m is mass of putty and r is distance where it sticks
I₂ = .8874 + .045 x (2 x .95 / 3)²
I₂ = .905
Applying conservation of angular momentum
angular momentum of putty = final angular momentum of rod+ putty
.0837 = .905 ω
ω is final angular velocity of rod + putty
ω = .092 rad /s .
You have a suction cup that creates a circular region of low pressure with a 30 mm diameter. It holds the pressure to 85 % of atmospheric pressure. What "holding force" does the suction cup generate in N
Answer:
Force = 60.08 N
Explanation:
Given that
Diameter d = 30 mm
Holding pressure = 85 % of Atmospherics pressure
Solution
As we know that here 1 atm = 10⁵ N/m²
and pressure is known as force per unit area
pressure = [tex]\frac{F}{A}[/tex] ................1
put here value and we will get
F = [tex]0.85\times 10^5\times \frac{\pi}{4}\times 0.03^2\ N[/tex]
solve it we get
Force = 60.08 N
A silver rod having a length of 83.0 cm and a cross-sectional diameter of 2.40 cm is used to conduct heat from a reservoir at a temperature of 540 oC into an otherwise completely thermally insulated chamber that contains 1.43 kg of ice at 0 oC. How much time is required for the ice to melt completely
Answer:
3985 s or 66.42 mins
Explanation:
Given:-
- The length of the rod, L = 83.0 cm
- The cross sectional diameter of rod , d = 2.4 cm
- The temperature of reservoir, Tr = 540°C
- The amount of ice in chamber, m = 1.43 kg
- The temperature of ice, Ti = 0°C
- Thermal conductivity of silver, k = 406 W / m.K
- The latent heat of fusion of water, Lf = 3.33 * 10^5 J / kg
Find:-
How much time is required for the ice to melt completely
Solution:-
- We will first determine the amount of heat ( Q ) required to melt 1.43 kg of ice.
- The heat required would be used as latent heat for which we require the latent heat of fusion of ice ( Lf ). We will employ the first law of thermodynamics assuming no heat is lost from the chamber ( perfectly insulated ):
[tex]Q = m*L_f\\\\Q = ( 1.43 ) * ( 3.33 * 10 ^5 )\\\\Q = 476190 J[/tex]
- The heat is supplied from the hot reservoir at the temperature of 540°C by conduction through the silver rod.
- We will assume that the heat transfer through the silver rod is one dimensional i.e along the length ( L ) of the rod.
- We will employ the ( heat equation ) to determine the rate of heat transfer through the rod as follows:
[tex]\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{k.A.dT}{dx}[/tex]
Where,
A: the cross sectional area of the rod
dT: The temperature difference at the two ends of the rod
dx: The differential element along the length of rod ( 1 - D )
t: Time ( s )
- The integrated form of the heat equation is expressed as:
[tex]Q = \frac{k*A*( T_r - T_i)}{L}*t[/tex]
- Plug in the respective parameters in the equation above and solve for time ( t ):
[tex]476190 = \frac{406*\pi*0.024^2 * ( 540 - 0 ) }{0.83*4}*t \\\\t = \frac{476190}{119.49619} \\\\t = 3985 s = 66.42 mins[/tex]
Answer: It would take 66.42 minutes to completely melt the ice
An object is known to have a coefficient of kinetic friction (µk) of 0.167 and a coefficient of static friction (µk) of 0.42. If the normal force is 200 N, how much frictional force will it encounter while it is moving?
Answer:
Ff = 33.4N
Explanation:
To find the frictional force while the object is moving, you take into account that the friction force depends of the coefficient of kinetic friction.
The frictional force is given by:
[tex]F_f=\mu_kN[/tex] (1)
Ff: frictional force = ?
µk: coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.167
N: normal force of the object = 200N
You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):
[tex]F_f=(0.167)(200N)=33.4N[/tex]
The frictional force, while the objects is moving, is 33.4N

When an aluminum bar is connected between a hot reservoir at 860 K and a cold reservoir at 348 K, 2.40 kJ of energy is transferred by heat from the hot reservoir to the cold reservoir
(a) In this irreversible process, calculate the change in entropy of the hot reservoir.
_______ J/K
(b) In this irreversible process, calculate the change in entropy of the cold reservoir.
_______ J/K
(c) In this irreversible process, calculate the change in entropy of the Universe, neglecting any change in entropy of the aluminum rod.
_______ J/K
(d) Mathematically, why did the result for the Universe in part (c) have to be positive?
Answer:
a) [tex]\Delta S_{in} = 2.791\,\frac{J}{K}[/tex], b) [tex]\Delta S_{out} = 6.897\,\frac{J}{K}[/tex], c) [tex]S_{gen} = 4.106\,\frac{J}{K}[/tex], d) Due to irreversibilities due to temperature differences.
Explanation:
a) The change in entropy of the hot reservoir is:
[tex]\Delta S_{in} = \frac{2400\,J}{860\,K}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta S_{in} = 2.791\,\frac{J}{K}[/tex]
b) The change in entropy of the cold reservoir is:
[tex]\Delta S_{out} = \frac{2400\,J}{348\,K}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta S_{out} = 6.897\,\frac{J}{K}[/tex]
c) The total change in entropy of the Universe is modelled after the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Let assume that process is steady:
[tex]\Delta S_{in} - \Delta S_{out} + S_{gen} = 0[/tex]
[tex]S_{gen} = \Delta S_{out} - \Delta S_{in}[/tex]
[tex]S_{gen} = 6.897\,\frac{J}{K} - 2.791\,\frac{J}{K}[/tex]
[tex]S_{gen} = 4.106\,\frac{J}{K}[/tex]
d) Since irreversibilities create entropy as process goes by. The main source of irreversibilities is the existence of temperature differences.
URGENT : Which of the following is the most stable isotope? Explain.
Answer:
Plutonium–238
Explanation:
The stability of isotopes is largely dependent on their half-life.
Half life of an isotope is the time taken for the initial mass of the isotope to be halfed or we can say that the half-life of an isotope is the time taken for the mass of the isotope to become half the initial mass.
From the above definition, we discovered that if the time taken for the mass of the isotope to become half its initial mass is long, then the isotope must be very stable. On the other hand, if the time taken to become half its initial mass is short, then the isotope is unstable because.
We can thus say that, the longer the half-life the more stable the isotope and the shorter the half-life, the less stable the isotope will be.
Considering the table given in the question above and with the ideas we have obtained from the explanation above, we can see that Plutonium–238 has the longest half-life. Therefore Plutonium–238 will be more stable.
You are on a train traveling east at speed of 19 m/s with respect to the ground. 1)If you walk east toward the front of the train, with a speed of 1.5 m/s with respect to the train, what is your velocity with respect to the ground
Answer:
Vbg = 20.5 m/s
your velocity with respect to the ground Vbg = 20.5 m/s

Relative velocity with respect to the ground is;
Vbg = velocity of train with respect to the ground + your velocity with respect to the train
Vbg = Vtg + Vbt ......1
Given;
velocity of train with respect to the ground;
Vtg = 19 m/s
your velocity with respect to the train;
Vbt = 1.5 m/s
Substituting the given values into the equation 1;
Vbg = 19 m/s + 1.5 m/s
Vbg = 20.5 m/s
your velocity with respect to the ground Vbg = 20.5 m/s

A person sits on a freely spinning lab stool that has no friction in its axle. When this person extends her arms, A. her moment of inertia decreases and her angular speed decreases B. her moment of inertia decreases and her angular speed increases C. her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed decreases D. her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed decreases E. her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed remains the same.
Answer:
C. her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed decreases
D. her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed decreases
Explanation:
The moment of inertia of a body is the sum of the products of an increment of mass and the square of its distance from the center of rotation. When a spinning person extends her arms, part of her mass increases its distance from the center of rotation, so increases the moment of inertia.
The kinetic energy of a spinning body is jointly proportional to the moment of inertia and the square of the angular speed. Hence an increase in moment of inertia will result in a decrease in angular speed unless there is a change in the rotational kinetic energy.
This effect is used by figure skaters to increase their spin rate by drawing their arms and legs closer to the axis of rotation. Similarly, they can slow the spin by extending arms and legs.
When the person extends her arms, her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed decreases.

A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simple pendulum, which she hangs down the center of a spiral staircase of the tower. The period of oscillation is 6.01 s. What is the height of the tower
Answer:
The height of the tower is 8.96 m.
Explanation:
We have, a visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simple pendulum, which she hangs down the center of a spiral staircase of the tower. The period of oscillation is 6.01 s.
It is required to find the height of the tower. Let it is l. The time period of a simple pendulum is given by :
[tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}[/tex]
l is length of pendulum, or height of tower
[tex]l=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}\\\\l=\dfrac{(6.01)^2\times 9.8}{4\pi^2}\\\\l=8.96\ m[/tex]
So, the height of the tower is 8.96 m.

Gas is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly and undergoes three processes. First, the gas is compressed at a constant pressure of 100 [kPa] from initial volume of 1.0 [m3] to a volume of 0.5 [m3]. Second, the gas pressure is increased by heating at constant volume up to 200 [kPa]. Third, the gas is returned to its initial pressure and volume by a process for which P ∀=constant. All pressures given are absolute. For the gas as a system, is the system best considered open, closed, or isolated? Why?
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The correct option is B
Explanation:
The system is best considered a closed system because looking at process we can see that there was no exchange of matter between the system and the surrounding,(as the was no escape of matter from the system to the surrounding )
Secondly we can deduce that there is a variation in the volume. from [tex]1.0 m^3[/tex] to [tex]0.5 m^3[/tex]
Q.1- Find the distance travelled by a particle moving in a straight line with uniform acceleration, in the 10th unit of time.
Answer:
If the acceleration is constant, the movements equations are:
a(t) = A.
for the velocity we can integrate over time:
v(t) = A*t + v0
where v0 is a constant of integration (the initial velocity), for the distance traveled between t = 0 units and t = 10 units, we can solve the integral:
[tex]\int\limits^{10}_0 {A*t + v0} \, dt = ((A/2)10^2 + v0*10) = (A*50 + v0*10)[/tex]
Where to obtain the actual distance you can replace the constant acceleration A and the initial velocity v0.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between a suitcase and the floor is 0.272. You may want to review (Pages 196 - 203) . Part A If the suitcase has a mass of 80.0 kg , how far can it be pushed across the level floor with 660 J of work
Answer:
Explanation:
The work required to push will be equal to work done by friction . Let d be the displacement required .
force of friction = mg x μ where m is mass of the suitcase , μ be the coefficient of friction
work done by force of friction
mg x μ x d = 660
80 x 9.8 x .272 x d = 660
d = 3 .1 m .
Two spectators at a soccer game see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field. The time delay for the spectator A is 0.55 s, and for the spectator B it is 0.45 s. Sight lines from the two spectators to the player kicking the ball meet at an angle of 90°. The speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s.
How far are (a) spectator A and (b) spectator B from the player?
(c) How far are the spectators from each other?
Answer:
a)188.65m
b)154.35m
c)243.7m
Explanation:
Given data:
[tex]t_A=0.55s[/tex]
[tex]t_B=0.45s[/tex]
(a) The distance from the kicker to each of the 2 spectators is given by:
[tex]d_A=v \times t_A[/tex]
where,
v= speed of sound
[tex]t_A[/tex]=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears
[tex]d_A=343\times 0.55=188.65[/tex]m
(b)[tex]d_B=v \times t_B[/tex]
where,
v= speed of sound
[tex]t_B[/tex]=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears
[tex]d_B=343\times 0.45=154.35m[/tex]
(c)As the angle b/w slight lines from the two spectators to the player is right angle,
hypotenuse=the distance b/w 2 spectators
and, the slight lines are the other 2 lines
[tex]D^2=d_A^2+d_B^2\\D=\sqrt{188.65^2+154.35^2} \\D= 243.7m[/tex]
student conducted an experiment and find the density of an ICEBERGE. A students than recorded the following readings. Mass 425 25 g Volume 405 15 mL What experimental value should be quoted for the density of the ICEBERG? Compare your answer with the density of water, which is 3 1.00 10 kg . Show any calculations necessary to justify your answer
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The experimental value of density is [tex]\rho = 1.05*10^{3} \ kg/m^3 \pm 101 \ kg/m^3[/tex]
Comparing it with the value of density of water ([tex]1.0*10^{3} \ kg/m^3[/tex]) we can see that the density of ice is greater
Explanation:
From the question we are told
The mass is [tex]M = (425 \pm 25) \ g =(0.425 \pm 0.025) \ kg[/tex]
The volume is [tex]V = (405 \pm 15 ) \ mL = (0.000405 \pm 1.5*10^{-5}) \ m^3[/tex]
The experimental value of density is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\rho = \frac{M}{V}[/tex]
[tex]\rho = \frac{0.425}{0.000405}[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 1.05 *10^{3} \ kg/m^3[/tex]
The possible error in this experimental value of density is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho} = \frac{\Delta M}{M} +\frac{\Delta V}{V}[/tex]
substituting value
[tex]\frac{\Delta \rho}{1.05*10^{3}} = \frac{0.025}{0.425} +\frac{1.5*10^{-5}}{0.000405}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta \rho = 101 \ kgm^{-3}[/tex]
Thus the experimental value of density is
[tex]\rho = 1.05*10^{3} \ kg/m^3 \pm 101 \ kg/m^3[/tex]

A 0.25 kg steel ball is tied to the end of a string and then whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed v. The length of the string is 0.62 m, and the tension in the string when the ball is at the top of the circle is 4.0 N. What is v
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the tension in the string be T . At the top of the circle , total force acting on them = T + mg . This will provide centripetal force
T + mg = m v² / r
4 + .25 x 9.8 = .25 x v² / .62
6.45 = .25 v² / .62
v² = 16
v = 4 m /s .
A string is stretched between fixed supports separated by 72.0 cm. It is observed to have resonant frequencies of 370 and 555 Hz, and no other resonant frequencies between these two.(a) What is the lowest resonant frequency for this string?(b) What is the wave speed for this string?
Answer:
(a) f = 185 Hz
(b) v = 266.4 m/s
Explanation:
(a) The lowest frequency can be calculated by using the following formula for the calculation of the modes (resonant frequencies) in a string:
[tex]f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}[/tex]
[tex]f_n=nf[/tex]
n: order of the mode
v: velocity of the waves in the string
L: length of the string = 72.0cm = 0.72m
fn: frequency of the n-th mode
With the information about two consecutive modes you can find the lowest resonant frequency. First you find the resonant mode n:
[tex]f_n=nf\\\\f_{n-1}=(n-1)f\\\\\frac{f_n}{f_{n-1}}=\frac{n}{n-1}[/tex]
you solve the previous equation for n:
[tex](n-1)f_n=nf_{n-1}\\\\555n-555=370n\\\\n=3[/tex]
With this information you can calculate the lowest resonant frequency:
[tex]f_n=nf\\\\f=\frac{f_n}{n}=\frac{555}{3}=185Hz[/tex]
b) You have information about two consecutive modes fn, fn-1. Then, you can calculate the velocity of the waves:
[tex]f_{n}-f_{n-1}=n\frac{v}{2L}-(n-1)\frac{v}{2L}\\\\f_n-f_{n-1}=\frac{v}{2L}\\\\v=2L(f_n-f_{n-1})[/tex]
fn = 555 Hz
fn-1: 370 Hz
[tex]v=2(0.72m)(555-370)Hz=266.4\frac{m}{s}[/tex]´
hence, the velocityof the waves in the string is 266.4 m/s
Astronauts are testing the gravity on a new planet. A rock is dropped between two photogates that are 0.5 meters apart. The first photogate reads a velocity of 1.2 m/s and the the second photogate reads a velocity of 4.3 m/s . What is the acceleration of gravity on this new planet?
Answer:
a = 17 m / s²
Explanation:
For this experiment that the astronauts are carrying out, the value of the relation of gravity is cosecant, therefore we can use the kinematic relations
v² = v₀² + 2a y
They indicate the initial speed 1.2 m / s the final speed 4.3 m / s and the distance remembered 0.5 m
we clear
a = (v² - v₀²) / 2y
we calculate
a = (4.3² -1.2²) / 2 0.5
a = 17 m / s²
this is the gravity of the new planet
Using a density of air to be 1.21kg/m3, the diameter of the bottom part of the filter as 0.15m (assume circular cross-section), and the power fit of your Trendline equation,calculate the drag coefficient. Solve for it first (see video) and then plug in the values.
Answer:
The drag coefficient is [tex]D_z = 1.30512[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The density of air is [tex]\rho_a = 1.21 \ kg/m^3[/tex]
The diameter of bottom part is [tex]d = 0.15 \ m[/tex]
The power trend-line equation is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_{\alpha } = 0.9226 * v^{0.5737}[/tex]
let assume that the velocity is 20 m/s
Then
[tex]F_{\alpha } = 0.9226 * 20^{0.5737}[/tex]
[tex]F_{\alpha } = 5.1453 \ N[/tex]
The drag coefficient is mathematically represented as
[tex]D_z = \frac{2 F_{\alpha } }{A \rho v^2 }[/tex]
Where
[tex]F_{\alpha }[/tex] is the drag force
[tex]\rho[/tex] is the density of the fluid
[tex]v[/tex] is the flow velocity
A is the area which mathematically evaluated as
[tex]A = \pi r^2 = \pi \frac{d^2}{4}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]A = 3.142 * \frac{(0.15)^2}{4}[/tex]
[tex]A = 0.0176 \ m^2[/tex]
Then
[tex]D_z = \frac{2 * 5.1453 }{0.0176 * 1.12 * 20^2 }[/tex]
[tex]D_z = 1.30512[/tex]

Given:
Mass of sled (m) = 18 kg
Horizontal force (F) = 30 N
FInal speed (v) = 2 m/s
Distance (s) = 8.5 m
Find:
Coefficient of kinetic friction.
Computation:
Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s
v² - u² = 2as
2(8.5)a = 2² - 0²
a = 0.2352 m/s²
Nweton's law of :
F (net) = ma
30N - μf = 18 (0.2352)
30 - 4.2336 = μ(mg)
25.7664 = μ(18)(9.8)
μ = 0.146
Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.146
At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark (mass of car is M) to be of length d. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be μk.
A) Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.B) Why does the car's mass not matter?1) Since both the change in kinetic energy and the work done by friction are proportional to the mass. The mass cancels out of the equation.2) Since the work done by friction does not depend on mass.3) Since the change in kinetic energy and the work done by friction do not depend on mass.
Answer:
1) Since both the change in kinetic energy and the work done by friction are proportional to the mass. The mass cancels out of the equation
Explanation:
The kinetic friction works against the kinetic energy of the car and the car stops when these two equalises .
friction force = μk x R , μk is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction from the ground.
= μk x mg
work done by friction
= force x displacement
= μk x mg x d
kinetic energy of car at the time of accident = 1/2 m v²
kinetic energy = work done by friction
1/2 m v² = μk x mg x d
d = v² / (2 μk x g)
v² = 2dμk g
v = √(2dμk g)
Since both the change in kinetic energy and the work done by friction are proportional to the mass. The mass cancels out of the equation
A subatomic particle created in an experiment exists in a certain state for a time of before decaying into other particles. Apply both the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the equivalence of energy and mass to determine the minimum uncertainty involved in measuring the mass of this short-lived particle.
Answer:
Δm Δt> h ’/ 2c²
Explanation:
Heisenberg uncertainty principle, stable uncertainty of energy and time, with the expressions
ΔE Δt> h ’/ 2
h’= h / 2π
to relate this to the masses let's use Einstein's relationship
E = m c²
let's replace
Δ (mc²) Δt> h '/ 2
the speed of light is a constant that we can condense exact, so
Δm Δt> h ’/ 2c²
