Earths plates move, creating them to rub together to create earthquakes, and volcanoes occur because magma melts rocks and the pressure is so intense it causes the lava to leak out of the top of a mountain

What is the magnitude of the total acceleration of point A after 2 seconds? The bar starts from rest and has a constant angular
monitta

Answer:

a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴) ,   a_total = 2,236 m

Explanation:

The total acceleration of a body, if we use the Pythagorean theorem is

          a_total² = a_T²2 + a_{c}²

where

the centripetal acceleration is

  a_{c} = v² / r = w r²

tangential acceleration

   a_T = dv / dt

angular and linear acceleration are related

         a_T = α  r

we substitute in the first equation

       a_total = √ [(α r)² + (w r² )²]

       a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴)

Let's find the angular velocity for t = 2 s if we start from rest wo = 0

        w = w₀ + α t

        w = 0 + 1.0 2

        w = 2.0rad / s

       

we substitute

        a_total = r √(1² + 2²) = r √5

        a_total = r 2,236

In order to finish the calculation we need the radius to point A, suppose that this point is at a distance of r = 1 m

         a_total = 2,236 m

The drill used by most dentists today is powered by a small air-turbine that can operate at angular speeds of 350000 {\rm rpm} .
damaskus [11]

Answer:

5833.33

Explanation:

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\theta = Number of revolutions

\omega_i = Initial angular speed = 0

t = Time taken = 2 s

Final angular speed

\omega_f=\dfrac{350000}{60}=5833.33\ rps

From the equation of rotational motion we have

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{5833.33-0}{2}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=2916.665\ rev/s^2

\theta=\omega_it+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\Rightarrow \theta=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2916.665\times 2^2\\\Rightarrow \theta=5833.33\ rev

The number of revolutions is 5833.33

Keeping the applied voltage constant at approximately 0.70 volts, measure the electric field strength at different points betwee
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: I observed that the electric field strength is the same at all points between the plates. The value of the field is 70 volts per meter. This is exactly 100 times the applied voltage. The electric field lines point from the positive plate to the negative plate, as the downward arrow on the detector shows.

Does the size of the magnetic field change with the size of the magnet?
mestny [16]

Answer:

Not all of the time, it can also depend on the strength of the magnet.

Explanation:

say you have a small very strong magnet, that might work just as well as a large but week magnet.
