A solid wood door 1.00 m wide and 2.00 m high is hinged along one side and has a total mass of 45.0kg . Initially open and at rest, the door is struck at its center by a handful of sticky mud with mass 0.700 kg, traveling perpendicular to the door at 12.0m/s just before impact A) Find the final angular speed of the door.
answer in rad/s
B) Does the mud make a significant contribution to the moment of inertia?
Yes or No

0.19rad/s and Yes

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of momentum it means momentum before and after collision is the same.

Momentum before collision is 0.700 kg×12 = 8.4Ns

Momentum of the door = mass of door × velocity of door

8.4Ns = mass of door × velocity of door

Velocity of door = 8.4Ns/45 =0.19m/s

But velocity V= w×r ;

w-angular velocity

r- raduis = width

w= 0.19/1m = 0.19rad/s

2. Yes it did because it resisted The moment of inertia and ensued the locking of the door.

-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

hope this
