Because angular momentum is conserved, an ice-skater who throws her arms out will

1 answer:

8 0

This is an example of conservation of angular momentum.

The ice skater will rotate more slowly because her arms would be considered the outside torque that is impacting her constant angular momentum.

So, an ice-skater who throws her arms out will rotate more slowly.

A stone is dropped from the edge of a roof, and hits the ground with a velocity of -180 feet per second. How high (in feet) is t

Neko [114]

Answer:

d = 506.25 ft

Explanation:

As we know by kinematics that

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

here we know that initially the stone is dropped from rest from the edge of the roof

so here initial speed will be zero

now we have

$v_i = 0$

also the acceleration of the stone is due to gravity which is given as

$g = 32 ft/s^2$

now we have

$v_f = 180 ft/s$

so from above equation

$180^2 - 0 = 2(32)d$

$d = 506.25 ft$

At this radius, what is the magnitude of the net force that maintains circular motion exerted on the pilot by the seat belts, th

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Fc=5253 N

Explanation:

Answer:

Fc=5253 N

Explanation:

sequel to the question given, this question would have taken precedence:

"The 86.0 kg pilot does not want the centripetal acceleration to exceed 6.23 times free-fall acceleration. a) Find the minimum radius of the plane’s path. Answer in units of m."

so we derive centripetal acceleration first

ac (centripetal acceleration) = v^2/r

make r the subject of the equation

r= v^2/ac

ac is 6.23*g which is 9.81

v is 101m/s

substituing the parameters into the equation, to get the radius

(101^2)/(6.23*9.81) = 167m

Now for part

( b) there are two forces namely, the centripetal and the weight of the pilot, but the seat is exerting the same force back due to newtons third law.

he net force that maintains circular motion exerted on the pilot by the seat belts, the friction against the seat, and so forth is the centripetal force.

Fc (Centripetal Force) = m*v^2/r

So (86kg* 101^2)/(167) =

Fc=5253 N

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 8.9 km/s, and that of the longitudinal waves is 5.1 km/s. A se

Brrunno [24]

Answer: The distance is 723.4km

Explanation:

The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s

The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s

The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.

if the distance is X, we know that:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T2

T2 = T1 + 68s

Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.

We replace the third equation into the second and get:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s

Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:

X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s

Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.

X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s

X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s

X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km

A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 9 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressure of 1.50

lutik1710 [3]

Answer: 33 mm

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the tank, d = 9 m, so that, radius = d/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 m

Internal pressure of gas, P(i) = 1.5 MPa

Yield strength of steel, P(y) = 340 MPa

Factor of safety = 0.3

Allowable stress = 340 * 0.3 = 102 MPa

σ = pr / 2t, where

σ = allowable stress

p = internal pressure

r = radius of the tank

t = minimum wall thickness

t = pr / 2σ

t = 1.5*10^6 * 4.5 / 2 * 102*10^6

t = 0.033 m

t = 33 mm

The minimum thickness of the wall required is therefore, 33 mm
