Refer to the figure shown below.

From the geometry,
y = 100 - (44 - 3) = 59 ft
From the Pythagorean theorem,
x² = 100² - 59² = 6519
x = 8007403 ft

Calculate the central angle, θ.
cos θ = 59/100 = 0.59
θ = 53.84° = 0.9397 radians

Calculate the arc length pq.
S = pq = 0.9394*100 = 93.94 ft

Calculate the angular velocity.
ω = (0.9397 radians)/(5 s) = 0.188 rad/s

Calculate the tangential velocity.
v = (100 ft)*(0.188 rad/s) = 18.8 ft/s

Calculate the time for 1 revolution.
T = (2π rad)/(0.188 rad/s) = 33.4 s

Answers:
The angular speed is  0.188 rad/s
The tangential speed is 18.8 ft/s
The time for one revolution is 33.4 s

1)Calculate the mass of a girl that has a weight of 113 Newtons.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:We should know that weight = mass * gravity.

That is weight equals mass times gravity.

Gravity is a force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. It is directly proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Gravity is generally measured in terms of acceleration due to gravity, denoted as g. For Earth it is, 9.8 m/s². And for moon, it is about 1.62 m/s².

On Earth, your weight is 70 kg = W

W = mass x 9.8

70 = mass x 9.8

Your mass is 70/ 9.8

i.e approximately 7.14

Weight at the Moon, W' = 7.14 x 1.62

Hence, your weight on the surface of the moon is just 11.56 kg.

Congratulations, you've lost about 58.14 kilograms without any hard exercise. And you're as light as a Sweedish Vallhund! Cheers!

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider direction towards left as positive Let the required velocity be v and let v makes an angle φ

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction of original motion

m₁ v₁  - m₂ v₂ = m₂v₃ - m₁ v₄

0.132 x 1.25 - .143 x 1.14 = 1.03 cos43 x .143 - v cos θ

v cos θ = .8

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction perpendicular to direction of original motion

1.03 sin 43 x .143 = .132 x v sinθ

v sinθ = .76

squaring and adding

v² = .76 ² + .8²

v = 1.1 m /s

Tan θ = .76 / .8

θ = 44°

Please help me solve all of them ( a, b, c and d ) thankiew !! <br> I’m also kind of in a rush
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

a-

V= IR

9V = I ×( 12+6)

I = 9/ 18 A = 0.5 A

b

V=IR

240 = 6 A ×( 20 + R)

40 = 20 + R

R = 20 ohm

c

resultant resistance of the 2 parallel resistances= Ro

1/Ro = 1/ 5 + 1/ 20

1/Ro =( 20+5)/100

= 1/Ro = 1/4

Ro= 4 ohm

V=IR

V = 2A × ( 1+ 4 OHM)

V = 10V

d

equivalent resistance = Ro

1/Ro = 1/(2+8) + 1/(5+5)

1/Ro = 1/10 +1/10

2/10 = 1/ Ro

Ro= 10/2 = 5 ohm

V = IR

12V = I × 5Ohm

I=2.4 A
