A system consists of two spheres, of mass m and 2m, connected by a rod of negligible mass, as shown above. The system is held at

its center of mass with the rod horizontal and released from rest near Earth's surface at time t = 0.

Answer:

Rod will remain horizontal all the time after release.

Explanation:

This is because net torque on the rod about any point in space is zero.

Let assume that distance between the two masses m and 2m is L.

Also m is situated at origin and in positive XY direction.

Then , Center of mass is at L(\frac{mx_{1}+2mx_{2}} }{m +2m})

 COM =\frac{2L}{3}

So let us calculate net torque about hinged point which COM.

  • Torque because of hinge force is zero because it passes from that point itself.
  • Torque on 2m mass is 2mg(L/3) in nenegative Z direction.
  • Torque on m mass is mg(2L/3) in positive Z direction.

As both torque are equal and opposite then net torque =0.

Thus it got balanced.

Jack (mass 52.0 kg ) is sliding due east with speed 8.00 m/s on the surface of a frozen pond. he collides with jill (mass 49.0 k
dybincka [34]
We must write down laws of conservation of momenta and energy. 
For the law of conservation of momenta will we will use two axes. One will be x-axis that will correspond to the east, and the other one will be y-axis corresponding to the north. Jack will be marked as 1 and Jill will be marked as 2.
Law of conservation of energy:
\frac{m_1v_1^2}{2}=\frac{m_1v'_1^2}{2}+ \frac{m_2v_2^2}{2}\\&#10;m_2v_2^2=m_1v_1^2-m_1v_1'^2\\&#10;v_2=\sqrt{\frac{m_1v_1^2-m_1v_1'^2}{m_2}
This will give us Jill's velocity after the colision.
v_2=6.43\frac{m}{s}
Law of conservation of momenta:
x: m_1v_1=m_1v_1'cos(34)+m_2v_2cos(\theta)\\&#10;y: 0=m_1v_1'sin(34)-m_2v_2sin(\theta)\\
We will use the second equation to get the angle at which the Jill is traveling:
0=m_1v_1'sin(34)-m_2v_2sin(\theta)\\&#10;m_2v_2sin(\theta)=m_1v_1'sin(34)\\&#10;sin(\theta)=\frac{m_1v_1'sin(34)}{m_2v_2}\\&#10;\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m_1v_1'sin(34)}{m_2v_2})
When we plug all the number we get:
\theta=27.45^\circ
Please note that this is the angle below the x-axis.

An electron moves in a region where the magnetic field is uniform and has a magnitude of 80 μT. The electron follows a helical p
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

3.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Consider the circular motion of the electron

B = magnetic field = 80 x 10⁻⁶ T

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v  = radial speed

r = radius of circular path = 2 mm = 0.002 m

q = magnitude of charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

For the circular motion of electron

qBr = mv

(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (80 x 10⁻⁶) (0.002) = (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) v

v = 2.8 x 10⁴ m/s

Consider the linear motion of the electron :

v' = linear speed

x = horizontal distance traveled = 9 mm = 0.009 m

t = time taken = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} = \frac{2\pi (9.1\times 10^{-31})}{(1.6\times 10^{^{-19}})(80\times 10^{-6})} = 4.5 x 10⁻⁷ sec

using the equation

x = v' t

0.009 = v' (4.5 x 10⁻⁷)

v' = 20000 m/s

v' = 2 x 10⁴ m/s

Speed is given as

V = sqrt(v² + v'²)

V = sqrt((2.8 x 10⁴)² + (2 x 10⁴)²)

v = 3.4 x 10⁴ m/s
