A bucket of water with total mass 23 kg is attached to a rope, which in turn is wound around a 0.050-m radius pulley at the top of a well. The bucket is raised to the top of the well and released from rest. The bucket is falling for 2 s and has a speed of 8.0 m/s upon hitting the water surface in the well. What is the moment of inertia of the pulley?

Explanation:

Mass of the bucket, m = 23 kg

Radius of the pulley, r = 0.050 m

The bucket is released from rest, u = 0 m/s

The time taken to fall, t = 2 s

Speed, v = 8.0 m/s

Moment of Inertia of the pulley, I = ?

Using the equation of motion:

v = u + at

8 = 0 + 2a

a = 8/2

a = 4 m/s²

The relationship between the linear and angular accelerations is given by the equation:

Angular acceleration,

Since the bucket is falling, it can be modeled by the equation:

mg - T = ma

T = mg - ma = m(g-a)

T = 23(9.8 - 4)

The tension, T = 133.4 N

The equation for the pulley can be modeled by:

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
