A professor's office door is 0.99 m wide, 2.2 m high, 4.2 cm thick; has a mass of 27 kg, and pivots on frictionless hinges. A "d

oor closer" is attached to door and the top of the door frame. When the door is open and at rest, the door closer exerts a torque of 5.6 N*m. What is the moment of inertia of the door? If you let go of the open door, what is its angular acceleration immediately afterward?

Answer:

$I=8.8209\ kg.m^2$

$\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

width of door, $w=0.99\ m$

height of the door, $h=2.2\ m$

thickness of the door, $t=4.2\ cm$

mass of the door, $m=27\ kg$

torque on the door, $\tau=5.6\ N.m$

<em>∵Since the thickness of the door is very less as compared to its other dimensions, therefore we treat it as a rectangular sheet.</em>

For a rectangular sheet we have the mass moment of inertia inertia as:

$I=\frac{1}{3} m.w^2$

$I=\frac{1}{3}\times 27\times 0.99^2$

$I=8.8209\ kg.m^2$

We have a relation between mass moment of inertia, torque and angular acceleration as:

$\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha=\frac{5.6}{8.8209}$

$\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}$

A pair of glasses is dropped from the top of a 32.0m stadium. A pen is dropped 2.Os later. How high above the ground is the pen

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

$h_p = 30.46\ m$

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

A free-falling object refers to an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. If the object is dropped from a certain height h, it moves downwards until it reaches ground level.

The speed vf of the object when a time t has passed is given by:

$v_f=g\cdot t$

Where $g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Similarly, the distance y the object has traveled is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{g\cdot t^2}{2}$

If we know the height h from which the object was dropped, we can solve the above equation for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot y}{g}}$

The stadium is h=32 m high. A pair of glasses is dropped from the top and reaches the ground at a time:

$\displaystyle t_1=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 32}{9.8}}=2.56\ sec$

The pen is dropped 2 seconds after the glasses. When the glasses hit the ground, the pen has been falling for:

$t_2=2.56 - 2 = 0.56\ sec$

Therefore, it has traveled down a distance:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{9.8\cdot 0.56^2}{2} = 1.54\ m$

Thus, the height of the pen is:

$h_p = 32 - 1.54\Rightarrow h_p=30.46\ m$

If you wished to warm 100 kg of water by 15 degrees celsius for your bath, how much heat would be required? (give your answer in

Anit [1.1K]

For the answer to the question above,
<span>Q = amount of heat (kJ) </span>
<span>cp = specific heat capacity (kJ/kg.K) = 4.187 kJ/kgK </span>
<span>m = mass (kg) </span>
<span>dT = temperature difference between hot and cold side (K). Note: dt in °C = dt in Kelvin </span>

<span>Q = 100kg * (4.187 kJ/kgK) * 15 K </span>
<span>Q = 6,280.5 KJ = 6,280,500 J = 1,501,075.5 cal</span>

The block in the diagram below is AT REST. However, the tension in the cable is not the only thing holding the block back. Stati

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 229.37 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=33.2\ kg$

Coefficient of static friction is, $\mu = 0.214$

Angle of inclination is, $\theta = 31.5$ °

Draw a free body diagram of the block.

From the free body diagram, consider the forces in the vertical direction perpendicular to inclined plane.

Forces acting are $mg\cos \theta$ and normal $N$ . Now, there is no motion in the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane. So,

$N=mg\cos \theta\\N=(33.2)(9.8)\cos (31.5)\\N=277.415\ N$

Consider the direction along the inclined plane.

The forces acting along the plane are $mg\sin \theta$ and frictional force, $f$ , down the plane and tension, $T$ , up the plane.

Now, as the block is at rest, so net force along the plane is also zero.

$T=mg\sin \theta+f\\T=mg\sin \theta +\mu N\\T= (33.2)(9.8)(\sin (31.5)+(0.214\times 277.415)\\T= 170+59.37\\T=229.37\ N$

Therefore, the tension in the rope is 229.37 N.

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10\,\text{m}10m10, start text, m, end text on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravi

Doss [256]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Basket ball is drop from height

H=10m

It is dropped on planet mass

And the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is given as

g= 3.7m/s²

Time taken for the ball to reach the ground

Initial velocity of the body is zero

u=0m/s

Using equation of motion: free fall

H = ut + ½gt²

10 = 0•t + ½ × 3.7 ×t²

10 = 0 + 1.85t²

10 = 1.85t²

Then, t² =10/1.85

t² = 5.405

t = √ 5.405

t = 2.325seconds

So the time the ball spend on the air before reaching the ground is 2.325 seconds
