An electric fan is running on HIGH. After the LOW button is pressed, the angular speed of the fan decreases to 84.7 rad/s in 2.9
ale4655 [162]

The initial angular speed of the fan will be 55.0 rad/sec. The angular speed of the fan decreases to 84.7 rad/s in 2.96 s.

<h3>What is angular acceleration?</h3>

Angular acceleration is defined as the pace of change of angular velocity with reference to time.

Given data;

Final angular speed,\rm \omega_f = 84.7 rad/s

Initial angular speed, \rm \omega_i = ?

Time period,t= 2.96 s

Angular deceleration = 47.2 rad/s²

\rm \alpha =\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t} \\\\\rm 47.2 =\frac{84.7-\omega_i}{2.96} \\\\ \omega_i = 55.0  \ rad/sec

Hence the initial angular speed of the fan will be 55.0 rad/sec.

A ball with a mass of 500g is lifted to a shelf 2 meter above ground. Calculate for the gravitational potential energy gained by
wariber [46]

Givens

  • 500 grams = 500 grams * [1 kg/1000 grams] = 0.5 kg
  • h = 2 meters
  • g = 9.81

Formula

PE = m*g*h

Solution

PE = 0.5 * 9.81 * 2

PE = 9.81 Joules

Two blocks with rough surfaces are stacked on top of a slippery horizontal surface. The top block has a mass of m, and the botto
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Please refer to the attached schematic for free-body diagrams of the blocks.

The contact forces N1 = mg, N2 = 3mg.

The friction force fs = mg/2.

The tension force T = 3mg/2.

The distance y = (gt^2)/4

Explanation:

Starting with the third block which is declining a time t. Newton's Second Law implies that

F = (3m)a\\3mg - T = 3ma\\T = 3mg - 3ma

There are two unknowns in one equation: T and a. Therefore, we need to find more equations to solve these unknown variables.

Let's look at free-body diagram 1:

Newton's Second Law:

F = ma\\f_s = ma

That is another equation with one more unknown: fs.

Free-body diagram 2:

F = (2m)a\\T - f_s = 2ma

That is our third equation. We now have three equations with three unknowns. Combining equation 2 and 3 gives:

T - ma = 2ma\\T = 3ma

Plugging this equation into the first equation gives

T = 3mg - 3ma\\3ma = 3mg - 3ma\\3mg = 6ma\\a = g/2

Following this, we can find the other unknowns:

T = 3ma = 3m(g/2) = \frac{3mg}{2}

f_s = ma = mg/2

The contact forces are N1 and N2.

N_1 = mg\\N_2 = 2mg + N1 = 3mg

Finally, using the acceleration and equation of kinematics, we can find the distance the hanging weight drops in a time t.

y - y_0 = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\y = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{g}{2})t^2 = \frac{gt^2}{4}
