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

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.

In which organ is chyme mixed with pancreatic juice and bile?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The chyme is mixed with pancreatic juice and bile juice in the duodenum.

Explanation:

  • Chyme is a mixture of food and digestive juice. The stomach produces digestive juices that are mixed with the bolus (the mixed food after chewing and swallowing) and form chyme.
  • Chyme is mixed with bile juice and pancreatic juice in the duodenum. After mixing up with bile, bile juice emulsifies the fats.

Question: Will weather changes (drought/flooding) over
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Changes in the environment affect the food sources available for birds. For example, if a flood was to occur, there would be an abundance of fish to birds to eat. So birds with bigger beaks will be able to eat fish, to live and reproduce offspring with bigger beaks. While birds with smaller beaks will not be able to catch fish to eat, therefore decreasing the population of birds with smaller beaks.
