A projectile of mass 0.2 kg and an initial velocity of 50 m/s collides with the end of a blade attached to a turbine. The rotational inertia of the turbine is 12.5 kg⋅m2 . Assume the loss of energy of the projectile in the collision is completely transferred to the blades, causing them to spin. If the final rebound velocity of the projectile after hitting a turbine blade is −25 m/s , which of the following is most nearly the rotational velocity of the turbine after the collision?

Aquantity of gas has a volume of 1.5 m3 and an absolute pressure of 95 kpa. when the gas is compressed to a volume of 0.5 m3, what is the new absolute pressure of the gas? (assume that there’s no change in temperature.)

The frequency of vibrations of a vibrating violin string is given by f = 1 2l t ρ where l is the length of the string, t is its tension, and ρ is its linear density.† (a) find the rate of change of the frequency with respect to the following. (i) the length (when t and ρ are constant) (ii) the tension (when l and ρ are constant) (iii) the linear density (when l and t are constant) (b) the pitch of a note (how high or low the note sounds) is determined by the frequency f. (the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.) use the signs of the derivatives in part (a) to determine what happens to the pitch of a note for the following. (i) when the effective length of a string is decreased by placing a finger on the string so a shorter portion of the string vibrates df dl 0 and l is ⇒ f is ⇒ (ii) when the tension is increased by turning a tuning peg df dt 0 and t is ⇒ f is ⇒ (iii) when the linear density is increased by switching to another string df dρ 0 and ρ is ⇒ f is ⇒
