9. An object consists of a ball of weight W glued to the end of a uniform bar also of weight W. If you release it from rest, with the bar horizontal, what will its behavior be as it falls if air resistance is negligible? Will it (a) remain horizontal; (b) rotate about its center of gravity; (c) rotate about the ball; or (d) rotate so that the ball swings downward? Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The ball and the rod remains horizontal.

Step by step solution

01

Center of gravity

The center of gravity is the point on a body where the total weight of the body is concentrated.

02

Reason for remain horizontal

Every rod is weightless implies there is no net torque in the system connected to the rod.

So, the rod and the ball glued remains horizontal.

Given two vectorsA鈫�=鈭�2.00i^+3.00j^+4.00k^andB鈫�=3.00i^+1.00j^鈭�3.00k^, (a) find the magnitude of each vector; (b) use unit vectors to write an expression for the vector differenceA鈫�鈭�B鈫�; and (c) find the magnitude of the vector differenceA鈫�鈭�B鈫�. Is this the same as the magnitude ofB鈫�鈭�A鈫�? Explain.

Can you find two vectors with different lengths that have a vector sum of zero? What length restrictions are required for three vectors to have a vector sum of zero? Explain.

In each case, find the x- and y-components of vectorA鈫�: (a)A鈫�=5.0i^-6.3j^; (b)A鈫�=11.2j^-9.91i^; (c)A鈫�=-15.0i^+22.4j^; (d)A鈫�=5.0B鈫�, whereB鈫�=4i^-6j^.

You hold a hose at waist height and spray water horizontally with it. The hose nozzle has a diameter of 1.80 cm, and the water splashes on the ground a distance of 0.950 cm horizontally from the nozzle. If you constrict the nozzle to a diameter of 0.750 cm, how far from the nozzle, horizontally, will the water travel before it hits the ground? (Ignore air resistance.)

Question- Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?
