Answer:

57.6Joules

Explanation:

Rotational kinetic energy of a body can be determined using the expression

Rotational kinetic energy = 1/2Iω²where;

I is the moment of inertia around axis of rotation. = 5kgm/s²

ω is the angular velocity = ?

Note that torque (T) = I¶ where;

¶ is the angular acceleration.

I is the moment of inertia

¶ = T/I

¶ = 3.0/5.0

¶ = 0.6rad/s²

Angular acceleration (¶) = ∆ω/∆t

∆ω = ¶∆t

ω = 0.6×8

ω = 4.8rad/s

Therefore, rotational kinetic energy = 1/2×5×4.8²

= 5×4.8×2.4

= 57.6Joules

Given Information:

Torque = τ =  3.0 N.m

Moment of inertia = I = 5.0 kg.m²

Time = t = 8 seconds

Required Information:

Rotational kinetic energy = Erot = ?

Answer:

Rotational kinetic energy = 57.6 Joules

Explanation:

We know that the rotational kinetic energy of the wheel is the energy due to its rotation and is part of its total kinetic energy and is given by

Erot = ½Iω²  

Where ω is the angular velocity and I is the moment of inertia of the wheel.

We also know the relation between torque and moment of inertia is

τ = Iα

Where α is the angular acceleration of the wheel.

α = τ/I

From the equations of kinematics, we know that final angular velocity is given by

ω = ω₀ + αt

Where ω₀ is the initial angular velocity of the wheel and since wheel starts from rest, ω₀ is zero.

ω = 0 + αt

ω = αt

ω = (τ/I)t

ω = τ*t/I

Finally the equation of rotational kinetic energy becomes

Erot = ½Iω²

Erot = ½I(τ*t/I)²

Erot = ½*5*((3*8)/5)²

Erot = ½*5*(23.04)

Erot = ½*(115.2)

Erot =   57.6 J

Therefore, the wheel's rotational kinetic energy at the end of 8 s is 57.6 Joules.

A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

The charges for four ions are sodium (Na) +1, calcium (Ca) +2, fluorine (F) –1, and sulfur (S) –2. Which would be an ionic bond
Ludmilka [50]
The correct answer would be B. It is the compound Na2S that forms an ionic bond from the given ion above. From the choices, it is the only compound that exist and is available. Metals cannot react with another metal as well as nonmetal to nonmetal.

A flashlight beam makes an angle of 60 degrees with the surface of the water before it enters the water. in the water what angle
alexira [117]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
  • Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

       = 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

   = 22.08

   <u>≈ 22°</u>
