2. A student places an object with a mass of m on a disk at a position r from the center of the disk. The student starts rotatin

g the disk. When the disk reaches a speed of 0.8 m/s, the object starts to slide off the disk. What is the coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk? (4 pts)

Answer:

\frac{0.065}{r}

Explanation:

The maximum velocity of an object moving in a curve beyond which it will slide off the curve is given by the relationship in equation (1);

v=\sqrt{\mu gr}....................(1)

where \mu is the coefficient of friction between the object and the surface of the curve, g is acceleration due to gravity and r is the radius of the curve.

Given;

v = 0.8m/s

g = 9.81m/s^2

r = ?

\mu=?

In order to solve for \mu, we can simply make it the subject of formula from equation (1) as follows;

v^2=\mu gr\\hence\\\mu=\frac{v^2}{gr}.................(2)

since we were not given the value of r, we can just substitute other known values, then solve and leave the answer in terms of r.

Therefore;

\mu=\frac{0.8^2}{9.81r}

\mu=\frac{0.64}{9.81r}\\\\\mu=\frac{0.065}{r}

What is the avarage velocity of a car that travels 30 kilometers due west in 0.5 hours
Fed [463]
Velocity is distance over time v= \frac{d}{t}. If it wants it in km/h you're good to go otherwise if its m/s you need to convert km to m by multiplying 30 by 1000 and t in hours to seconds by multiplying 0.5 by 3600.

How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?
SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

<em></em>

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.
