A uniform rod is 2.0 m long. The rod is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end. The moment of inertia of the rod about this axis is given by (1/3)ML2. The rod is released from rest at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. What is the angular acceleration of the rod at the instant it is released?

Answer from: JASMINEM8347

The angular acceleration of the rod at the instant it is released is 6.37 rad/s^2 .

Given the following data:

Length = 2 meterAngle = 30°

To calculate the angular acceleration of the rod at the instant it is released:

The moment of inertia of the rod about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end (axis) is given by the formula:

$(\frac{1}{3})ML^2$ ...equation 1.

Mathematically, torque is given by this formula:

$T = I\alpha$ ....equation 2.

Where:

T represents torque.I is the moment of inertia. $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration.

Making $\alpha$ the subject of formula, we have:

$\alpha =\frac{T}{I}$ ....equation 3.

For the horizontal component, torque is given by the formula:

$Torque = \frac{L}{2}(MgCos\theta)$ ...equation 4

Substituting eqn 1 and eqn 4 into eqn 3, we have:

$\alpha =\frac{\frac{L}{2}(MgCos\theta)}{(\frac{1}{3})ML^2} \\\\\alpha = \frac{\frac{MgCos\theta L}{2}}{\frac{ML^2}{3}} \\\\\alpha = \frac{MgCos\theta L}{2} \times \frac{3}{ML^2} \\\\\alpha = \frac{3gCos\theta}{2L} \\\\\alpha =\frac{\frac{L}{2}(MgCos\theta)}{(\frac{1}{3})ML^2} \\\\\alpha = \frac{\frac{MgCos\theta L}{2}}{\frac{ML^2}{3}} \\\\\alpha = \frac{MgCos\theta L}{2} \times \frac{3}{ML^2} \\\\\alpha = \frac{3gCos\theta}{2L} \\\\\alpha = \frac{3\;\times \;9.8 \times\; Cos30}{2\times 2}$

$\alpha = \frac{29.4 \times\; 0.8660}{4}\\\\\alpha = \frac{25.46}{4}$

Angular acceleration, $\alpha$ = 6.37 rad/s^2

Your starship, the aimless wanderer, lands on the mysterious planet mongo. as chief scientist-engineer, you make the following measurements: a 2.50-kg stone thrown upward from the ground at 14.0 m/s returns to the ground in 5.70 s ; the circumference of mongo at the equator is 2.20×10^5 km ; and there is no appreciable atmosphere on mongo. (a) the starship commander, captain confusion, asks for the following information: what is the mass of mongo? (b) if the aimless wanderer goes into a circular orbit 2.20×10^4 km above the surface of mongo, how many hours will it take the ship to complete one orbit? (c) an unmanned spacecraft is in a circular orbit around the moon, observing the lunar surface from an altitude of 44.0 km . to the dismay of scientists on earth, an electrical fault causes an on-board thruster to fire, decreasing the speed of the spacecraft by 23.0 m/s . if nothing is done to correct its orbit, with what speed (in km/h) will the spacecraft crash into the lunar surface?

The temperature in gavin's oven is a sinusoidal function of time. gavin sets his oven so that it has a maximum temperature of 280°f and a minimum temperature of 240°. once the temperature hits 280°, it takes 20 minutes before it is 280° again. gavin's cake needs to be in the oven for 30 minutes at temperatures at or above 270°. he puts the cake into the oven when it is at 260° and rising. how long will gavin need to leave the cake in the oven? (round your answer to the nearest minute.)
