A record turntable is rotating at 33 rev/min. A watermelon seed is on the turntable 7.8 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) Calcul

ate the acceleration of the seed, assuming that it does not slip. (b) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the seed and the turntable if the seed is not to slip

Given data:

● Angular velocity of the turntable ω = 33 rev/min

Therefore,

ω = 33 rev/min

ω = 33rev/min × 2π rad/rev × 1 min/60 sec = 3.45 rad/s

● The distance of the watermelon seed from the axis of rotation r = 7.8 cm = 0.078 m

● μs = the coefficient of static friction

Section a:

The seed is undergoes circular motion and it is been effected by centripetal acceleration.

ac = rω^2

ac = 0.078 × 3.45^2

ac = 0.9284 m/s^2

Therefore,

the centripetal acceleration of the seed is 9.274 m/s^2

Section b:

If the seed is observed not to slip at the course of the circular motion, then the supplied frictional force given by the seed and surface of turntable would at least be equivalent to the centripetal force working on the seed.

Centripetal Force = Frictional Force

mrω^2 = μsmg

μs = rω^2 /g

μs = 0.078 × 3.45^2

------------

9.81

μs = 0.09464

Thus,

the coefficient of static friction is 0.09464.

Humans can take up available space, disrupt systems, or change water supplies in an ecosystem. What conclusion can you make abou
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Human activities affect the flow of energy and matter in an ecosystem and alter the energy balance in ecosystems through the unsustainable nature of what they do.  The energy flow is affected in several ways as a result of pollution, overpopulation, deforestation, burning fossil fuels, etc. Such changes have stimulated soil erosion, climate change, causing water unfit to consume, poor quality of air and so on. When humans cause a change in the energy balance, they impact the ability of the ecosystem to respond and adapt to changes in the environment. It is like getting a cut, but it never heals and grows bigger instead.

The field of inquiry that studies human culture and evolutionary aspects of human biology; includes cultural anthropology, arche
klio [65]

Answer:

physical, or biological anthropology.

Explanation:

When there is a need to study human kind   through the X-ray of  relationships between human biology, its cultural diversity, and  evolution ,the aspect anthropology for this is Biological anthropology.

Therefore biological anthropology is concerned about how the interaction between the cultural diversity and biological process results in the  adaptations of mankind to different  environments.The influence of these on growth, behaviours, existence.

The primary focus of biological anthropologists is to study in details the concept of  ,mechanism of  variation,  adaptation.and how these lead to evolution and origin of mankind.

Sequel to this ,most evidences for this concept are obtained from the study of fossil materials,study of other related primates to man, and components of functional biology and genetics.
