Answer:

A) 12.57 m

B) 5 RPM

C) 3.142 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance covered in 1 Revolution:

The formula that gives the relationship between the arc length or distance covered during circular motion to the angle subtended or the revolutions, is given as follows:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance covered = ?

r = radius of circle = 2 m

θ = Angle = 2π radians  (For 1 complete Revolution)

Therefore,

s = (2 m)(2π radians)

<u>s = 12.57 m</u>

B) Angular Speed:

The formula for angular speed is given as:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular distance covered = 15 revolutions

t = time taken = 3 min

Therefore,

ω = 15 rev/3 min

<u>ω = 5 RPM</u>

C) Linear Speed:

The formula that gives the the linear speed of an object moving in a circular path is given as:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed = ?

r = radius = 2 m

ω = Angular Speed in rad/s = (15 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 1.571 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (2 m)(1.571 rad/s)

<u>v = 3.142 m/s</u>

Can someone with an IQ score of 120 be gifted? Based on psychological thought, explain why or why not and give an example. ILL M
Pani-rosa [81]
Hello!

Yes, someone with an IQ score of 120 can be gifted. 

An IQ score of 120 means that the individual is moderately gifted. Although this IQ doesn't qualify for gifted education programs, research shows that people with IQs of about 145-180 don't perform significantly better than people with 120s IQ in terms of success.

As an example, professor Dean Simonton from the University of California found that an optimum leader should have an IQ in the 120-125 range, so having an IQ of 120 would mean that the individual is gifted for leadership.

Have a nice day!

lara [203]

Answer:

D. a nonrenewable resource

Explanation:

From the description given, helium is a non-renewable resource.

  • A non-renewable resource is one in which cannot be replenished  by natural processes as they consumed.
  • They get depleted as they are removed from nature.
  • Helium formation cannot match its consumption if exploited.

The drinking water needs of an office are met by cooling tab water in a refrigerated water fountain from 23 to 6°C at an average
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The correct option is;

(c) 64W

Explanation:

Here we have the Coefficient Of Performance, COP given by

COP = \frac{Q_{cold}}{W} = 3.1

The heat change from 23° to 6°C for a mass of 10 kg/h which is equivalent to 10/(60×60) kg/s or 2.78 g/s we have

Q_{cold} = m·c·ΔT = 2.78 × 4.18 × (23 - 6) = 197.39 J

Therefore, plugging in the value for  Q_{cold} in the COP equation we get;

COP = \frac{197.39 }{W} = 3.1 which gives

W =  \frac{197.39 }{3.1} = 63.674 \ J

Since we were working with mass flow rate then the power input is the same as the work done per second and the power input to the refrigerator = 63.674 J/s ≈ 64 W.

The power input to the refrigerator is approximately 64 W.
