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>

In which of these scenarios would the sound of a drumstick hitting a metal bar get to you in the least amount of time?explain ur
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Scenario 1 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The sound of the drumstick hitting the metal bar will get to me in a shorter amount of time in Scenario 1 . The sound wave will travel faster in the metal bar than through the air because the speed of sound waves in solid is faster than it is in gases.

A truck with 0.410 m radius tires travels at 25.0 m/s. What is the angular velocity of the rotating tires in radians per second?
Eduardwww [97]

relation between linear velocity and angular velocity is given as

v = R\omega

here

v = linear speed

R = radius

\omega = angular speed

now plug in all data in the equation

25.0 = 0.410 \omega

\omega  = \frac{25}{0.410}

\omega = 60.9 rad/s

so rotating speed is 60.9 rad/s
