Arod of mass m = 116 g and length l = 49 cm can rotate about a hinge at its left end and is initially at rest. a putty ball of mass m = 14 g, moving with speed v= 6 m/s, strikes the rod at angle a = 37º a distance d=l/4 from the end and sticks to the rod after the collision.
(a) what is the total moment of inertia, 1, with respect to the hinge, of the rod-ball-system after the collision?
(b) enter an expression for the angular speed w of the system immediately after the collision, in terms of m, v, d, 0,
(c) calculate the rotational kinetic energy, in joules, of the system after the collision

a) Before:

I = 0.00928 kg*m^2

after:

I = 0.00949 kg*m^2

b) W = 65.25 rad/s

c) k = 20.2021 J

Explanation:

a)The moment of inertia before the collision is done by:

I =

where M is the mass and L is the length.

I =

I = 0.00928 kg*m^2

After the collision the moment of inertia is:

I =

the first part is the moment of inertia before the collision but now we plus the mass of the putty ball ( and the distance R where the putty ball strickes.

I =

I = 0.00949 kg*m^2

b)

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum:

Adittionally, the angular momentum L could be calculated by:

L = MDV

where M is the mass, V is the velocity and D is the lever arm, or:

L = IW

where I is the moment of inertia and W is the angular velocity.

Following the equations, now we have:

where is the mass of the putty ball, is the velocity of the putty ball, and is the moment of inertia after the collition

replacing the data:

solving for W, we get:

W = 65.25 rad/s

c)

The kinetic energy is calculated by the next equation:

K =

replacing the data:

k =

k = 20.2021 J

multiply 2kg by latent heat of vap

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
