A uniform rod, supported and pivoted at
its midpoint, but initially at rest, has a mass
of 86 g and a length 5 cm. A piece of clay with
mass 21 g and velocity 1.7 m/s hits the very
top of the rod, gets stuck and causes the clay-
rod system to spin about the pivot point O at
the center of the rod in a horizontal plane.
Viewed from above the scheme is
!
!
1.7 m/s

(a) before (b) during (c) after
5 cm
After the collisions the clay-rod system has an
diby (ad33488) – HW8 – mackie – (10612) 3
angular velocity ! about the pivot.
With respect to the pivot point O, what is
the magnitude of the initial angular momen-
tum Li of the clay-rod system?
Answer in units of kgm2/s
014 (part 2 of 3) 10.0 points
With respect to the pivot point O, what is
the final moment of inertia If of the clay-rod
system?
Answer in units of kgm2
015 (part 3 of 3) 10.0 points
The final angular speed !f of the clay-rod
system is
Answer in units of rad/s

Two friends are having a conversation. anna says a satellite in orbit is in freefall because the satellite keeps falling toward earth. tom says a satellite in orbit is not in freefall because the acceleration due to gravity is not 9.80 m/2 . who do you agree with and why?

Abucket full of water weights 4 kg and water well is 10m deep. a girl draws water from the well. it takes the girl 3 minutes to draw a bucket full of water from the well. what is the power of the girl?

Question 1 what is amperage? is the rate of doing work. is the rate of flow of protons in electric current. represents the amount of pressure behind electron flow. is the rate of flow of electrons in electric current. 2 points question 2 what is voltage? is the rate of doing power. represents the amount of pressure behind electron flow. is the rate of doing work. is the rate of flow of electrons in electric current. 2 points question 3 what is power? is the rate of flow of protons in electric current. is the rate of flow of electrons in electric current. is the rate of doing work. represents the amount of pressure behind electron flow. 2 points question 4 if we multiply volts times amps we get what? power circuit work current 2 points question 5 what are two ways alternating currents are similiar? in both ac and dc electrons flow in the same pattern. in both ac and dc, the flow of electrons changes directions back and forth. both ac and dc are only possible in certain materials with atoms that will allow electron flow. both ac and dc involve the flow of electrons. 4 points question 6 how does the flow of electrons flow in an alternating current? the flow of electrons is always slower in an alternating current than within a direct current. the flow of electrons is not constant and forward; it changes direction back and forth. electrons flow from from a higher affinity to that of a lower affinity. electron flow is constant and only in a forward direction. 2 points question 7 what is the flow like in a direct current? the flow of electrons is not constant and forward; it changes direction back and forth. the flow of electrons is constant and only in a forward direction. the flow of electrons go from a higher affinity to a lower affinity. the flow of electrons are always faster in a direct current. 2 points question 8 how is an electric current able to flow? electrons flow from the higher affinity to lower affinity and electrical current is generated. protons flow from the higher affinity to lower affinity and electrical current is generated. the movement of protons from one atom to another leads to an electric charge. the movement of electrons from one atom to another atom in a line results in a flow of electric current. 2 points question 9 how do electrons move from the two different types of metal in a battery? protons flow from the metal with the lower affinity to the metal with higher affinity and electrical current is generated. electrons flow from the metal with the lower affinity to the metal with higher affinity and electrical current is generated. electrons flow from the metal with the higher affinity to the metal with lower affinity and electrical current is generated. protons flow from the metal with the higher affinity to the metal with lower affinity and electrical current is generated.
