From the calculations, the mass of the pole is 82 Kg.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The term potential energy has to do with the energy that is possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

Given that;

height = 6.15 m

PE = 4942 J

mass = ??

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now

PE = mgh

m = PE/gh

m = 4942 J/9.8 m/s^2 * 6.15 m

m = 82 Kg

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 3.37 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The tangential speed of the tack is 8.19 m/s.

Explanation:

The wheel rotates 3.37 times a second that means wheel complete 3.37 revolutions in a second. Therefore, the angular speed ω of the wheel is given as follows:

$\omega =3.37rev/s \times(\frac{2\pi rad}{1s} )\\\\=21.174rad/s$

Use the relation of angular speed with tangential speed to find the tangential speed of the tack.

The tangential speed v of the tack is given by following expression

v = ω r

Here, r is the distance to the tack from axis of rotation.

Substitute 21.174 rad/s for ω, and 0.387 m for r in the above equation to solve for v.

v = 21.174 × 0.387

v = 8.19m/s

Thus, The tangential speed of the tack is 8.19 m/s.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a. The station is rotating at $1.496 \frac{rev}{min}$

b. the rotation needed is $2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}$

Explanation:

We know that the centripetal acceleration is

$a_{c}= \omega ^2 r$

where $\omega$ is the rotational speed and r is the radius. As the centripetal acceleration is feel like an centrifugal acceleration in the rotating frame of reference (be careful, as the rotating frame of reference is <u>NOT INERTIAL,</u> the centrifugal force is a fictitious force, the real force is the centripetal).
