A turntable A is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. It is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk B starts

to slide on the turntable 15 s after the turntable begins to rotate. Knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.3 m/s^2 , determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable

Answer:

μ = 0.03

Explanation:

In order for the trunk not to slide the frictional force between the turntable and the trunk must be equal to the unbalanced force applied on the trunk by the motion of the turntable. Therefore,

Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force

but,

Unbalanced Force = ma (Newton's second law of motion)

Frictional Force = μN = μW = μmg

Therefore,

ma = μmg

a = μg

μ = a/g

where,

μ = coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable = ?

a = tangential acceleration of trunk = 0.3 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

μ = (0.3 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>μ = 0.03</u>

While filming an intense action sequence for the next James Bond movie, a controlled explosion detonates 1.3 km away from the ac
brilliants [131]

To solve this problem we must basically resort to the kinematic equations of movement. For which speed is defined as the distance traveled in a given time. Mathematically this can be expressed as

v = \frac{d}{t}

Where

d = Distance

t = time

For which clearing the time we will have the expression

t = \frac{d}{v}

Since we have two 'fluids' in which the sound travels at different speeds we will have that for the rock the time elapsed to feel the explosion will be:

t = \frac{1300m}{3000m/s}

t = 0.433s

In the case of the atmosphere -composite of air- the average speed of sound is 343m / s, therefore it will take

t = \frac{1300m}{343m/s}

t = 3.79s

The total difference between the two times would be

\Delta t = 3.79s-0.433s

\Delta t = 3.357s

Therefore 3.357s will pass between when they feel the explosion and when they hear it

What wind turbines to hydroelectric dams and ethanol plants have in common?
Brut [27]

All three are forms of renewable energy.

Wind turbines utilize the wind to generate power, hydroelectric dams also do the same (although most states have stopped using them since they're bad for the environment)

Ethanol, a substitute for gasoline, comes from corn, which can be grown in farms throughout America.

How does the amplitude of the wave change as you get farther from the speaker?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The amplitude decreases

Explanation:

From the inverse square law, we know that;

I ∝ 1/d²

Where;

I is intensity

d is distance

Also, we know that;

A² ∝ I

Where A is amplitude

Thus, we can say that;

A ∝ 1/d²

Thus, amplitude is inversely proportional to the distance.

So the larger the distance, the lesser the amplitude and the lesser the distance, the higher the amplitude.

Thus, as you move farther from the speaker the distance increases and therefore the amplitude decreases
