A uniform rod of length 50cm and mass 0.2kg is placed on a fulcrum at a distance of 40cm from the left end of the rod. At what distance from the left end of the rod should a 0.6kg mass be hung to balance the rod?
a.48 cm
b. 50 cm
c. 45 cm
d. the rod can not be balanced with this mass. e.42 cm​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 45 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a rod, L = 50 cm

Mass, m₁ = 0.2 kg

It is at 40cm from the left end of the rod.

We need to find the distance from the left end of the rod should a 0.6kg mass be hung to balance the rod.

The centre of mass of the rod is at 25 cm.

Taking moments of both masses such that,

[tex]15\times 0.2=x\times 0.6\\\\x=\drac{3}{0.6}\\\\x=5\ cm[/tex]

The distance from the left end is 40+5 = 45 cm.

Hence, at a distance of 45 cm from the left end it will balance the rod.

5. A ball weighing 10 kg rolls 200 m down a frictionless incline with a 50 degree angle to the horizontal. If the ball’s initial velocity was 0 m/s, how much does the mechanical energy of the system change by the time the ball reaches its destination? A) It increased by 12%. B) It increases by 58%. C) It decreases by 12%. D) It does not change.

Answers

Answer:

D) It does not change

Explanation:

Since there is no friction in the inclined plane. Therefore, there is no loss in the total mechanical energy of the system. So according to the law of conservation of energy we can write:

Total Mechanical Energy at Start = Total Mechanical Energy at End + Frictional Loss

Total Mechanical Energy at Start = Total Mechanical Energy at End + 0

Total Mechanical Energy at Start = Total Mechanical Energy at End

It means there is no change in the total mechanical energy of the system.

Therefore, the correct option is:

D) It does not change

135g of an unknown substance gains 9133 J of heat as it is heated from 25⁰C to 100⁰C. Using the chart below, determine the identity of the unknown substance.

Answers

Answer:

The unknown substance is Aluminum.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the change in the temperature of substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 ⁰C

Final temperature (T₂) = 100 ⁰C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 100 – 25

ΔT = 75 ⁰C

Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the substance. This can be obtained as follow:

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 75 ⁰C

Mass of the substance (M) = 135 g

Heat (Q) gained = 9133 J

Specific heat capacity (C) of substance =?

Q = MCΔT

9133 = 135 × C × 75

9133 = 10125 × C

Divide both side by 10125

C = 9133 / 10125

C = 0.902 J/gºC

Thus, the specific heat capacity of substance is 0.902 J/gºC

Comparing the specific heat capacity (i.e 0.902 J/gºC) of substance to those given in the table above, we can see clearly that the unknown substance is aluminum.

A small spaceship whose mass is 1300 kg (including an astronaut) is drifting in outer space with negligible gravitational forces acting on it. If the astronaut turns on a 11 kW laser beam, what speed will the ship attain in 4.0 days because of the momentum carried away by the beam?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Relation between energy and momentum is as follows .

E = h c / λ

E / c = h / λ

h /λ = momentum of a photon

momentum of a photon  = E /c

= 11 x 10³ / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.67 x 10⁻⁵

In 4 days no of photon

= 4 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 345600 .

momentum of photon released

3.67 x 10⁻⁵  x 345600 .

= 12.68 kg m/s

This momentum will be imparted to spaceship .

12.68 = mv

12 .68 = 1300 x v

v = .00975 m /s

= 9.75 mm /s

How does a generator use the effect you noticed in the pickup coil to generate electrical energy? What energy transformations are taking place? Why does a generator make alternating current? What change would have to be made to make direct current?

Answers

Answer:

Movement of Electrons in opposite direction of the rotation of the pickup coil leads to the direction of Electrical energy ( Alternating current ).

Explanation:

For a Generator to generate electricity, Electrons that is found in the rotating coil of the Generator will experience some sort of force that makes them to start moving in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the rotating/pickup coil found in the Generator.

The conversion of mechanical energy (Rotation of the pickup coil ) to electrical energy takes place in the Generator

The generator makes an alternating current because electrons move in opposite direction of the rotating coil

In other to generate a Direct current using a generator we have to replace the slip rings with commutator.

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg.m^2. The father exerts a force on the merry-go-round perpendicular to its radius to achieve an angular acceleration of 4.44 rad/s^2.

Required:
a. How long (in s) does it take the father to give the merry-go-round an angular velocity of 1.53 rad/s? (Assume the merry-go-round is initially at rest.)
b. How many revolutions must he go through to generate this velocity?
c. If he exerts a slowing force of 270 N at a radius of 1.20 m, how long (in s) would it take him to stop them?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial angular velocity [tex]\omega_o = 0[/tex]

angular acceleration [tex]\alpha[/tex] = 4.44 rad/s²

Using the formula:

[tex]\omega = \omega_o+ \alpha t[/tex]

Making t the subject of the formula:

[tex]t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }[/tex]

where;

[tex]\omega = 1.53 \ rad/s^2[/tex]

[tex]t= \dfrac{1.53-0}{4.44 }[/tex]

t = 0.345 s

b)

Using the formula:

[tex]\omega ^2 = \omega _o^2 + 2 \alpha \theta[/tex]

here;

[tex]\theta[/tex] = angular displacement

[tex]\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_o^2}{2 \alpha }[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \dfrac{(1.53)^2 -0^2}{2 (4.44) }[/tex]

[tex]\theta =0.264 \ rad[/tex]

Recall that:

2π rad = 1 revolution

Then;

0.264 rad = (x) revolution

[tex]x = \dfrac{0.264 \times 1}{2 \pi}[/tex]

x = 0.042 revolutions

c)

Here; force = 270 N

radius = 1.20 m

The torque = F * r

[tex]\tau = 270 \times 1.20 \\ \\ \tau = 324 \ Nm[/tex]

However;

From the moment of inertia;

[tex]Torque( \tau) = I \alpha \\ \\ Since( I \alpha) = 324 \ Nm. \\ \\ Then; \\ \\ \alpha= \dfrac{324}{I}[/tex]

given that;

I = 84.4 kg.m²

[tex]\alpha= \dfrac{324}{84.4} \\ \\ \alpha=3.84 \ rad/s^2[/tex]

For re-tardation; [tex]\alpha=-3.84 \ rad/s^2[/tex]

Using the equation

[tex]t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }[/tex]

[tex]t= \dfrac{0-1.53}{ -3.84 }[/tex]

[tex]t= \dfrac{1.53}{ 3.84 }[/tex]

t = 0.398s

The required time it takes= 0.398s

A.      Based on the number on the fuse, what do you think is the maximum current allowed in this circuit?

Solution:

A fuse is a safety device which is used in circuits for preventing very high currents which can cause overloading or start a fire. A fuse is made up of a low resistance thin piece of metal such that the flow of high current can cause the metal to melt leading to an open circuit. A fuse lets current flow up to a maximum value before it melts and the circuit will be broken.

From the image attached, since the maximum rating of the fuse is 0.3 A, hence the maximum current that can flow through the circuit is 0.3 A.

The equivalent resistance:

[tex]R_{eq} = R_p + R = 2R[/tex]

[tex]R_{eq} = 6 \ \ ohms[/tex]

The current through the circuit in R is:

The current through the circuit in 2R is:

[tex]I_2R = (2A) \times \dfrac{2R}{2R+2R}[/tex]

[tex]I_2R = 2A \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\ \\ I_2R = 1A[/tex]

Where T = period of the pendulum, L = Lenght of the pendulum, g = acceleration due to gravity of the moon, π = pie.

From the question,

Given: L = 1 m, g = 1.6 m/s²

Constant: π = 3.14

r = maximum possible radius of the propeller = ?

v = maximum possible linear speed of the propeller = 270 m/s

ω = angular speed of the propeller = (2400 rpm)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s)

ω = 251.33 rad/s
