Two `20g` worms climb over a `10cm` high, very then wall. One worm is thin and `20cm` long the other is fat and only `10cm` long. What is the ratio of the potential energy (w.r.t. the base of wall) of the thin worm as comparses to that of the fat worm when each is half way over the top of the wall as shown?

A

`1:1`

B

`2:1`

C

`2:3`

D

`1:2`

Text Solution

Two balls of the same radius and weight are suspended on threads so that their surface are in contact. A charge of q_(0) = 4 xx 10^(-7)C is given to the balls which makes them repel each other and diverge to an angle of 60° . Find the mass of the balls if the distance of balls from the point of suspension to the centre of ball is 20cm. Find the density of the material of the balls if the angle of divergence becomes 54° when the balls are immersed in kerosene of density 800kg m^(-3) dielectric constant ofkerosene is epsilon_(r) = 2 [1.592g, 255 K//g m^(3)]

Two 2.00 kg balls are attached to the ends of a thin rod of length 50.0 cm and negligible mass. The rod is free to rotate in a vertical plane without friction about a horizontal axis through its center. With the rod initially horizontal (Fig. 10-87), a 50.0 g wad of wet putty drops onto one of the balls, hitting it with a speed of 3.00 m/s and then sticking to it. (a) What is the angular speed of the system just after the putty wad hits? (b) What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the system after the collision to that of the putty wad just before? ( c) Through what angle will the system rotate before it momentarily stops?
