Answer:
0.087 m
Explanation:
Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m
Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.
time period, T = 3 s
the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by
.... (1)
where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12
By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is
I = Ic + md²
Substituting the values in equation (1)
12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 = 0
d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m
d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.
Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.
Answer: 2R
Explanation:
Here the person travels пR distance. We know that the circumference of a circle is 2πR. So your imaginated person has traveled the distance which is half of the circumference of the circle. And this distance is equal to its diameter. We know that diameter of a circle is two times larger than the radius. So the person's displacement is two times of the radius, means 2R. [Here 'R' means the radius of the circle]
I attached the missing picture.
We can figure this one out using the law of conservation of energy.
At point A the car would have potential energy and kinetic energy.
Then, while the car is traveling down the track it loses some of its initial energy due to friction:
So, we know that the car is approaching the point B with the following amount of energy:
The law of conservation of energy tells us that this energy must the same as the energy at point B.
The energy at point B is the sum of car's kinetic and potential energy:
As said before this energy must be the same as the energy of a car approaching the loop:
Now we solve the equation for
:
Answer:
Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane.
Earth orbits around the Sun, completing one orbit each year
Explanation:
The earth tilt at an angle causes the sun rays to hit the earth surface around the globe differently. Due to the oblique angle that the rays hit the subtropics and poles, there is less heat intensity compared to the equator where the sun rays hit the earth's surface at a more or less right angle.
The earth rotation around the sun also causes seasons coupled with the earth’s tilts. As the earth rotates, in one point in the orbit, the northern or southern hemispheres will be tilted towards the sun. The phenomenon varies the local temperatures of particular regions of the earth hence driving seasonal climatic changes.
