The figure(Figure 1) illustrates an H2O molecule. The O−H bond length is 0.96 nm and the H−O−H bonds make an angle of 104 degrees.

A) Calculate the moment of inertia for the H2O molecule about an axis passing through the center of the oxygen atom perpendicular to the plane of the molecule.

B) Calculate the moment of inertia for the H2O molecule about an axis passing through the center of the oxygen atom in the plane of the molecule, bisecting the H−O−H bonds.

1. Consider the diatomic nitrogen molecule N2, which is rotating in the xy plane about the z axis passing through its center, perpendicular to its length. The mass of each nitrogen atom is about m= 2.40×10-26 kg, and at room temperature, the separation between the two-nitrogen atom is d = 1.32×10-10 m. A typical speed of a molecule is 4.60×1012 rad/s. If the nitrogen molecule is rotating with this angular speed about the z axis, what is its rotational kinetic...

Boron trifluoride, BF3, is a pungent colorless toxic gas. This molecule consist of three atoms fluorine (F see figure below) and a boron (B) atom all lying in one plane. Each fluorine atom is equidistant from the boron atom with a spacing of 1.30x10-10m. The distance between each fluorine atom is 2.26x10-10m. The mass of each fluorine atom is 3.15x10-26kg and the mass of the boron atom is 1.79x10-26kg. A) If this molecule rotates about an axis that is perpendicular...

In the figure, a small disk of radius r=1.00 cm has been glued to the edge of a larger disk of radius R=6.00 cm so that the disks lie in the same plane. The disks can be rotated around a perpendicular axis through point O at the center of the larger disk. The disks both have a uniform density (mass per unit volume) of 1.40 × 103 kg/m3 and a uniform thickness of 7.00 mm. What is the rotational inertia...

In the figure, a small disk of radius r=2.00 cm has been glued to the edge of a larger disk of radius R=7.00 cm so that the disks lie in the same plane. The disks can be rotated around a perpendicular axis through point O at the center of the larger disk. The disks both have a uniform density (mass per unit volume) of 1.40 × 10^3 kg/m3 and a uniform thickness of 6.00 mm. What is the rotational inertia...

Three small spherical masses are located in a plane at the positions shown below. dynamically generated plot The masses are Q=0.300 kg, R=0..600 kg, and S=0.500 kg. Calculate the moment of inertia (of the 3 masses) with respect to an axis perpendicular to the xy plane and passing through x=0 and y=-3. [Since the masses are of small size, you can neglect the contribution due to moments of inertia about their centers of mass.] i cant figure out how to...

A) A man holds a 185-N ball in his hand, with the forearm horizontal (see the figure). He can support the ball in this position because of the flexor muscle force , which is applied perpendicular to the forearm. The forearm weighs 18.2 N and has a center of gravity as indicated. Find (a) the magnitude of and the (b) magnitude and (c) direction (as a positive angle counterclockwise from horizontal) of the force applied by the upper arm bone...

Consider a ‘physical pendulum’ made of a meter stick (length L = 1 m, mass 0.2 kg) with a hole drilled through it at the 5 cm mark. The stick is free to rotate (in a vertical plane) around a nail that goes through the hole and into a wall. Assume no friction between the nail and the hole. The stick’s moment of inertia about the nail is I=0.1 kgm2. (Use g=10 m/s2) If the pendulum is released from rest...
