    Moment of Inertia of a Small Sphere Revolving on a String

    Homework Statement A small sphere of mass 2.0kg revolves at the end of a 1.2 m long string in a horizontal plane around a vertical axis. Determine its moment of inertia with respect to that axis. Homework Equations Moment of inertia for sphere= (2/5)mr^2 The Attempt at a Solution...

    Find pressure at depth of freshwater

    Homework Statement You are scuba diving to reach a ship sunk at a depth of 100m. What is the pressure in atm at this depth? Density of fresh water is 1000kg/m^3 and air pressure at lake surface=1atm=1.013x10^5 N/m^2 Homework Equations P2=P1+pgd p=density The Attempt at a Solution...

    Find kinetic energy from potential energy and moment of inertia?

    Homework Statement A solid cylinder of mass 0.600kg is released from rest and allowed to roll down a board that has an incline of 30degrees to the horizontal floor. If the solid cylinder is released 0.60m above the floor, what is the cylinder's linear speed when it reaches the lowest end of...

    Force of friction and Torque

    Given a plot of Torque vs Angular acceleration, would it be valid to say that the slope of that line would be the Rotational inertia and the Y intercept to be equal to the force of friction? I think there could be an argument for the Y intercept being the force or TORQUE due to friction. what...

    Calculate the work done by friction

    Okay that makes sense. thank you. So if i were to calculate work done by friction, but this time I'm given distance and delta K, would I use Wncf=fd where f=(deltaK)/d or work energy theorem?

    Calculate the work done by friction

    W= deltaK = 1/2m(Vf^2 - Vi^2) W=1/2 (1.12kg) [((0.427m/s)^2) - ((0.57m/s)^2)] W= -0.0798 kg m/s Is this the work done by friction though? or the cart?

    Calculate the work done by friction

    Homework Statement You have a level track. You push a cart with mass = 1.12[kg]. You measure the initial velocity to be 0.57[m s-1]. 2 seconds later, you measure the velocity to be 0.427[m s-1]. Homework Equations What is the work (reported in mJ) that friction did on the cart...
