Professor Stefanovic is spinning a bucket of water by extending his arm and rotating his shoulder in class to show the effects o

f angular acceleration. When the bucket is upside down (exactly above his head) the water does not fall out. The mass of the water in the bucket is 2kg. The rope that is attached to the bucket is lm long, and his arm is 75 cm long.
1. What is the minimum angular velocity that Prof. Stefanovic needs to spin the bucket for the water not to fall out? 2. If he detaches the rope and spins the bucket by holding it with his hand, what is the minimum required angular velocity in order for the water not to fall out?

Answer:

a ) 2.368 rad/s

b) 3.617 rad/s

Explanation:

the minimum angular velocity that Prof. Stefanovic needs to spin the bucket for the water not to fall out can be determined by applying force equation in a circular path

i.e

F_{inward } = F_G + F_T   ------ equation (1)

where;

F_{inward} = m *a_c

F_{inward} = m*r* \omega^2

Also

F_G = m*g

F_T = 0          since; that is the initial minimum angular velocity to keep the water in the bucket

Now; we can rewrite our equation as :

mr \omega^2= mg + 0\\\omega^2 = \frac{m*g}{m*r}\\\omega^2 = \frac{g}{r}\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r} \ \  }     ------ equation \ \ \ {2}

So; Given that:

The rope that is attached to the bucket is lm long  and his arm is 75 cm long.

we have our radius r = 1 m +  75 cm

= ( 1 + 0.75 ) m

= 1.75 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Replacing our values into equation (2) ; we have:

\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{9.81}{1.75}}\\\omega = 2.368 \  rad/s

b) if he detaches the rope and spins the bucket by holding it with his hand ; then the radius = 0.75 m

∴

\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{9.81}{0.75}}\\\omega = 3.617 \  rad/s

Compare and contrast carbon to its isotopes: what is different about them and what is the same?

Their atomic numbers are all the same, because they all have the same number of protons. But their atomic weights are different, because they have different numbers of neutrons.

Is the hand grip test an example of an isometric or an isotonic muscle contraction? Explain your reasoning.
shusha [124]

Hand grip test an example of an isometric muscle contraction.

Isometric(increased pressure but no shortening)

Explanation:

  • Isometric contraction, is one in which the muscle is activated, but instead of being allowed to lengthen or shorten, it is held at a constant length.
  • An isometric exercise is a form of exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint.
  • Isometric exercises are contractions of a particular muscle or group of muscles. During isometric exercises, the muscle doesn't noticeably change length and the affected joint doesn't move. Isometric exercises help maintain strength. They can also build strength, but not effectively.
  • Isometric exercise is also known as static strength training. (Examples include the plank and side bridge as well as the wall sit and many yoga poses such as chair and tree poses).

The most important barriers to diffusion today are physical features of Earth's surface.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Physical features of earth's surface like mountains, deserts and oceans are not the barriers in today's modern world. Technological improvements in the transportation and communication has removed these barriers. So they are not barriers anymore.
