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:

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

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

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

Lilli suggests that they explore the simulation starting with varying only a single parameter in order to understand the role of

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

One of the ways to address this issue is through the options given by the statement. The concepts related to the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation.

Through these two equations it is possible to observe the behavior of the fluid, specifically the velocity at a constant height.

By definition the equation of continuity is,

$A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

In the problem $A_2$ is $2A_1$ , then

$A_1V_1=2A_1V_2$

$V_2 = \frac{V_1}{2}$

<em>Here we can conclude that by means of the continuity when increasing the Area, a decrease will be obtained - in the diminished times in the area - in the speed.</em>

For the particular case of Bernoulli we have to

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho V_1^2 = P_2 +\frac{1}{2}\rho V_2^2$

$P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-V_2^2)$

For the previous definition we can now replace,

$P_2-P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2-(\frac{V_1}{2})^2)$

$\Delta P = \frac{3}{8} \rho V_1^2$

<em>Expressed from Bernoulli's equation we can identify that the greater the change that exists in pressure, fluid velocity will tend to decrease</em>

The correct answer is B: "If we increase A2 then by the continuity equation the speed of the fluid should decrease. Bernoulli's equation then shows that if the velocity of the fluid decreases (at constant height conditions) then the pressure of the fluid should increase"

Suppose a plot of inverse wavelength vs frequency has slope equal to 0.119, what is the speed of sound traveling in the tube to

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

$m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}$

Now,

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}$

$\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s$

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s

A floating leaf oscillates up and down two complete cycles in one second as a water wave passes by. The wave's wavelength is 10

postnew [5]

Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

Susan and Hannah are each riding a swing. Susan has a mass of 25 kilograms, and Hannah has a mass of 30 kilograms. Susan’s swing

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is given by:

K.E. = 0.5 m v²

Susan has mass, m = 25 kg

Velocity with which Susan moves is, v = 10 m/s

Hannah has mass, m' = 30 kg

Velocity with which Hannah moves is, v' = 8.5 m/s

<u>Kinetic energy of Susan:</u>

0.5 m v² = 0.5 × 25 kg × (10 m/s)² = 1250 J

<u>Kinetic energy of Hannah:</u>

0.5 m v'² = 0.5 × 30 kg × (8.5 m/s)² = 1083.75 J

Susan's kinetic energy is <u>1250 J </u>and Hannah's kinetic energy is <u>1083.75 J</u>.

Since kinetic energy is dependent on mass and square of speed. Thus, speed has a greater effect than mass. As it is evident from the above example. Susan has greater kinetic energy due to higher speed than Hannah.

A climatograph for a tropical grassland or savanna would look different from the climatograph shown for a temperate grassland. D

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Savannas have a fairly constant temperature all year; temperate grasslands have a greater seasonal temperature variation.

Explanation:

For example, the African Savanna has an almost constant temperature all year (see the first figure below).

The difference between summer and winter temperatures is only about 5 °C, and the rate of temperature change is quite slow.

The temperature of a temperate grassland (see the second figure below) has a much greater seasonal variation.

The summers are hot, and the winters are cold. The difference between summer and winter temperatures is about 30 °C, with a rapid rate of temperature change from one season to the next.
