Aslender rod is 80.0 cm long and has mass 0.390 kg . a small 0.0200-kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.0500-kg sphere is welded to the other end. the rod, pivoting about a stationary, frictionless axis at its center, is held horizontal and released from rest.

v = 1.08 m/s

Explanation:

What is the linear speed of the 0.0500-kg sphere as its passes through its lowest point?

The decrease in PE is

d = 80.0cm * 1 / 1000m = 0.80m

h = 0.80 m /2 = 0.40 m

ΔPE = m*g*h

ΔPE = (0.0500 - 0.0200)kg * 9.8m/s² * 0.400 m

ΔPE = 0.1176 J

The moment of inertia of the assembly is

I = 1/12*m*L² + (m1 + m2)*(L/2)²

I = 1/12*0.390kg*(0.800m)² + 0.0700kg*(0.400m)²

I = 0.032 kg·m²

KE = ½Iω²

0.1176 J = ½ * 0.032kg·m² * ω²

ω = 2.71 rad/s

v = ωr = 2.71 rad/s * 0.400m

The linear velocity

v = 1.08 m/s

c)as speed changes, wavelength and frequency change.

everything changes!

what is the question because that is not a question.
