Answer:
3. none of these
Explanation:
The rotational kinetic energy of an object is given by:
where
I is the moment of inertia
is the angular speed
In this problem, we have two objects rotating, so the total rotational kinetic energy will be the sum of the rotational energies of each object.
For disk 1:
For disk 2:
so the total energy is
So, none of the options is correct.
Answer:
82.76m
Explanation:
In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.
You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:
(1)
C: circumference of the ring = 40000 km = 4*10^7m (you assume the circumference is the length of the steel tube)
you solve for r in the equation (1):
Next, you use the following formula to calculate the change in the length of the tube, when its temperature increases by 1°C:
(2)
L: final length of the tube = ?
Lo: initial length of the tube = 4*10^7m
ΔT = change in the temperature of the steel tube = 1°C
α: thermal coefficient expansion of steel = 13*10^-6 /°C
You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):
With the new length of the tube, you can calculate the radius of a ring formed with the tube. You again solve the equation (1) for r:
Finally, you compare both r and r' radius:
r' - r = 6,366,280.484m - 6,366,197.724m = 82.76m
Hence, the distance to the ring from the ground is 82.76m
