Answer:

B) an up-and-down motion on the surface of the earth

Explanation:

The S waves are seismic waves that are produced when an earthquake happens, and they can only travel through solid mediums, this means that they create the up and down motion on the surface of the earth, the waves that create the back and forth motion on the surface are the P waves. The image can help you better understand it.

A ceiling fan with 90-cm-diameter blades is turning at 64 rpm . Suppose the fan coasts to a stop 28 s after being turned off. Wh

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the ceiling fan, d = 90 cm = 0.9 m

angular speed of the fan, ω = 64 rpm

time taken for the fan to stop, t = 28 s

The distance traveled by the ceiling fan when it comes to a stop is calculated as;

$d = vt = \omega r\times t= ( \frac{64 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s} \times 0.9 \ m) \times 28 \ s\\\\d = 168.89 \ m$

The speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is calculated as;

$v = \frac{d}{t} \\\\v = \frac{168.89}{10} \\\\v = 16.889 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

A 56 kg astronaut stands on a bathroom scale inside a rotating circular space station. The radius of the space station is 250 m.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of astronaut = 56 kg

Radius = 250 m

We need to calculate the speed of space station floor

Using centripetal force and newton's second law

$F=mg$

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=mg$

$\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g$

$v=\sqrt{rg}$

Where, v = speed of space station floor

r = radius

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{250\times9.8}$

$v=49.49\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

A discus thrower turns with angular acceleration of 50 rad/s2, moving the discus in a circle of radius 0.80m. Find the radial an

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The value of tangential acceleration $\alpha_{t} =$ 40 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

The value of radial acceleration $\alpha_{r} = 80 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

Angular acceleration = 50 $\frac{rad}{s^{2} }$

Radius of the disk = 0.8 m

Angular velocity = 10 $\frac{rad}{s}$

We know that tangential acceleration is given by the formula $\alpha_{t} =$ $r \alpha$

Where r = radius of the disk

$\alpha$ = angular acceleration

⇒ $\alpha_{t} =$ 0.8 × 50

⇒ $\alpha_{t} =$ 40 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

This is the value of tangential acceleration.

Radial acceleration is given by

$\alpha_{r} = \frac{V^{2} }{r}$

Where V = velocity of the disk = r $\omega$

⇒ V = 0.8 × 10

⇒ V = 8 $\frac{m}{s}$

Radial acceleration

$\alpha_{r} = \frac{8^{2} }{0.8}$

$\alpha_{r} = 80 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

This is the value of radial acceleration.

If object A has more mass than object B, what will object A need to accelerate at the same rate as object B?

Leni [432]

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Object A has more mass than object B

For object A to accelerate at the same rate as object B, it will need more force.

According to Newton's second law of motion "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

Net force = mass x acceleration

Now, if a body has more mass and needs to accelerate at the same rate as another one with a lower mass, the force on it must be increased.
