A leaf fell from a tree branch. The path it followed is shown in the diagram below.

1 answer:

4 0

The leaf fell at the crooked path instead of straight down because air currents and gravity applied changing and unbalanced forces to the leaf.

<h3>What is an air current?</h3>

An air current is defined as the changes in atmospheric pressure that causes the movement of air from one area to another.

When a leaf is detached naturally from the tree, it won't fall straight down to the floor but will fall a distance away from the tree due to the action of air current and some unbalanced forces.

A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a frictionless, vertical axle. A

Flura [38]

Answer:

The mass of the wheel is 2159.045 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Radius $r = 0.330$

Force $F = 290$ N

Angular acceleration $\alpha = 0.814 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }$

From the formula of torque,

Γ $= I\alpha$ (1)

Γ $= rF$ (2)

$rF = I \alpha$

Find momentum of inertia $I$ from above equation,

$I = \frac{rF}{\alpha }$

$I = \frac{0.330 \times 290}{0.814}$

$I = 117.56$ $Kg. m^{2}$

Find the momentum inertia of disk,

$I = \frac{1}{2} Mr^{2}$

$M = \frac{2I}{r^{2} }$

$M = \frac{2 \times 117.56}{(0.330)^{2} }$

$M = 2159.045$ Kg

Therefore, the mass of the wheel is 2159.045 kg

vlada-n [284]

Given:
1st run: 20 meters North
2nd run: 15 meters East
time: 15 seconds

Average speed = total distance covered / total time taken
Ave. Speed = (20m + 15m) / 15s
Ave. Speed = 35m / 15s
Ave. Speed = 2 1/3 meters per second
