A yo-yo is made from two uniform disks, each with mass m and radius R, connected by a light axle of radius b. A light, thin stri

ng is wound several times around the axle and then held stationary while the yo-yo is released from rest, dropping as the string unwinds. Find the linear acceleration and angular acceleration of the yo-yo and the tension in the string.

Answer:

linear acceleration

$a = \frac{2g}{2 + \frac{R}{b}}$

angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{2g}{R(2 + \frac{R}{b})}$

Explanation:

As we know that the force due to tension force is upwards while weight of the disc is downwards

so we will have

$2mg - T = 2ma$

also we have

$Tb = (\frac{1}{2}mR^2 + \frac{1}{2}mR^2)\alpha$

now we have

$Tb = mR^2(\frac{a}{R})$

$T = \frac{mRa}{b}$

now we have

$2mg = (2ma + \frac{mRa}{b})$

$a(2 + \frac{R}{b}) = 2g$

so we have

linear acceleration

$a = \frac{2g}{2 + \frac{R}{b}}$

angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{2g}{R(2 + \frac{R}{b})}$

The gravitational force between two asteroids is 6.2 × 108 n. asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z. if the distance

SOVA2 [1]

Let m = mass of asteroid y.
Because asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z, the mass of asteroid z is m/3.

Given:
F = 6.2x10⁸ N
d = 2100 km = 2.1x10⁶ m
Note that
G = 6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²)

The gravitational force between the asteroids is
F = (G*m*(m/3))/d² = (Gm²)/(3d²)
or
m² = (3Fd²)/G
= [(3*(6.2x10⁸ N)*(2.1x10⁶ m)²]/(6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))
= 1.229x10³² kg²
m = 1.1086x10¹⁶ kg = 1.1x10¹⁶ kg (approx)

Answer: 1.1x10¹⁶ kg

You are using a hydrogen discharge tube and high quality red and blue light filters as the light source for a Michelson interfer

boyakko [2]

Answer:

final displacement = +24484.5 nm

Explanation:

The path difference when 158 bright spots were observed with red light (λ1 = 656.3 nm) is given as;

Δr = 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

So, 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

Dividing both sides by 2 to get;

d2 - d1 = 75λ1 - - - - eq1

Where;

d1 = distance between the fixed mirror and the beam splitter

d2 = position of moveable mirror from splitter when 158 bright spots are observed

Now, the path difference between the two waves when 114 bright spots were observed is;

Δr = 2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

Divide both sides by 2 to get;

d'2 - d1 = 57λ1

Where;

d'2 is the new position of the movable mirror from the splitter

Now, the displacement of the moveable mirror is (d2 - d'2). To get this, we will subtract eq2 from eq1.

(d2 - d1) - (d'2 - d1) = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d1 - d'2 + d1 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d'2 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

We are given;

(λ1 = 656.3 nm) and λ2 = 434.0 nm.

Thus;

d2 - d'2 = 75(656.3) - 57(434)

d2 - d'2 = +24484.5 nm

A cyclist moving with a constant velocity of 6.0 m/s forward passes a car that is just starting. If the car has a constant accel

sergiy2304 [10]

After 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cyclist.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The speed of the cyclist = 6 m/s.

Let after time t sec, the car will overtake the cyclist.

So, distance covered by the cyclist in t sec = 6t m

Initial velocity of the car is 0 m/s, because the car is just starting.

Acceleration of the car = $2 m/s^2$ .

Final velocity of the car =6 m/s.

So to cover the distance 6t, the time required by the car = $\frac{1}{2} \times a \times t^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2$

$6t = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2\\6t = t^2$

t =6 sec

So, after 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cycle.

A na+ ion moves from inside a cell, where the electric potential is -72 mv, to outside the cell, where the potential is 0 v. wha

Vlada [557]

The change in electric potential energy of the ion is equal to the charge multiplied by the voltage difference:
$\Delta U = q \Delta V = q (V_f - V_i)$
where the charge q of the na+ ion is equal to one positive charge, so it's equal to the proton charge: $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ , and Vf and Vi are the final and initial voltages.

Substituting the numbers, we find:
$\Delta U = (1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0 V-(-0.072 V))=1.15 \cdot 10^{-20} J$

A woman with mass 50 kg is standing on the rim of a large horizontal disk that is rotating at 0.80 rev/s about an axis through i

irinina [24]

Answer:

Angular momentum of disc + woman is given as

$L = 9759 kg m^2/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the angular momentum of disc + woman is given as

$L = (I_{disk} + I_{woman}) \omega$

here we know for disk moment of inertia is given as

$I_{disk} = \frac{1}{2}mR^2$

$I_{disk} = \frac{1}{2}(110)(4.3)^2 = 1017 kg m^2$

similarly for woman we will have

$I_{woman} = MR^2$

$I_{woman} = (50)(4.3^2)$

$I_{woman} = 924.5 kg m^2$

so we will have

$\omega = 2\pi (0.80) rad/s$

so angular momentum is given as

$L = (1017 + 924.5)(2\pi 0.80)$

$L = 9759 kg m^2/s$
