A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.53 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as

the origin, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the positive x axis pointing to 3 o'clock and the positive y axis pointing to 12 o'clock. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock?

Answer:

a  =1.61 × 10⁻⁶ m/s²

Explanation:

given,

length of minute hand = 0.53 m

length of hour hand = 0.26 m

the time taken by the minute hand to complete one revolution is T=3600 s

the angular frequency is

                        \omega =\dfrac{2\pi }{T}

                         \omega =\dfrac{2\pi }{3600}

                         \omega=0.001745 rad/sec

the acceleration is  

                                a = r \omega^2

                                a = (0.53) \times (0.001745)^2

                                       a  =1.61 × 10⁻⁶ m/s²

If there are two photons with different energies, the one that has a higher energy (a) has the higher frequency (b) has the high
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(a) has the highest frequency

Explanation:

E = hf...where E(is the energy of a photon);h(is the planck's constant) and f is the frequency of the photon

Whereby this formula shows us that energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency

So hence if the energy is high then the frequency of the photon is also high

After an ice storm, ice falls from one of the top floors of a 65-story building. The ice falls freely under the influence of gra
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) The kinetic energy of the ice increases by equal amounts for equal distances.

Explanation:

The law of conservation states that the energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.Before the ice even starts falling we already know that it possesses energy in the form of potential energy given by P=mgh where m is the mass of the ice , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the ice above the ground whatever that may be, since a number is not given here.As the ice falls the energy is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. We notice one thing about the equation for the potential energy P , which is that it is not only directly proportional to h but also is linear in h as well(which is the main reason why a) is correct) which means that if the ice drops by 1 meter the potential energy it will have lost would be ΔPE=mgΔh=-mg, where Δh is the change in its height which is 1 meter here.And according to the principle of conservation of energy this energy must be converted to kinetic energy so the ΔKE=-ΔPE=mg, and this process repeats and for each meter it falls, it picks up the same amount of kinetic energy equaling mg(which is the same as the loss in PE per each meter of fall). So a 2 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 2mg, a 3 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 3mg. gain in kinetic energy only depends on the drop in height, which is true irrespective of where the ice might happen to be in its journey close to the top or the bottom. So the drop in height of lets say x at any point in the journey will result in the same increase in KE = ΔKE = mgx. Which proves part a) to be correct.

1- ¿Cuál sería la energía de un objeto de 50 newton de peso que se encuentra sobre una estantería de 3 metros de altura? ¿Qué ti
Liula [17]

Responder:

<h3>150 Nm </h3><h3>Energía potencial </h3>

Explicación:

El tipo de energía que posee el objeto se conoce como energía potencial. <u>La energía potencial es la energía que posee un objeto, mi virtud de su posición. </u>

Energía potencial = masa * aceleración debido a la gravedad * altura

Dado que Force = masa * aceleración debido a la gravedad

Energía potencial = Fuerza * altura

Fuerza dada = 50N y altura = 3 m

Energía potencial = 50 * 3

Energía potencial = 150 Nm
