As an egg falls towards the floor, it begins to travel faster and faster. When it slams into the floor, the egg is stopped almost immediately. This force of the floor against the eggshell is too large, so it breaks.

A motobike's tire rotates with a constant angular speed of 62.8 rad/s. The radius of a tire is 30cm. Assuming that no slipping o

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

12.6 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the linear speed v = rω where r = radius and ω = angular acceleration. Given that ω = 62.8 rad/s and r = 20 cm from center = 0.2 cm

So, v = rω

= 0.2 m × 62.8 rad/s

= 12.56 m/s

≅12.6 m/s

What is the period of oscillation of a mass 40kg on a spring with constant k=10N/m?

iVinArrow [24]

The period of oscillation of the system is 12.56 s

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a spring-mass system is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

where

m is the mass attached to the spring

k is the spring constant

For the system in this problem, we have

m = 40 kg

k = 10 N/m

Substituting into the equation, we find

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{40}{10}}=12.56 s$

A gas expands and does PV work on its surroundings equal to 319 J. At the same time, it absorbs 136 J of heat from the surroundi

LiRa [457]

Answer:

The change in energy of the gas during the process is $-1.83\times 10^{2}$ joules.

Explanation:

We can represent this process by the First Law of Thermodynamics, in which gas does work on its surroundings and absorbs heat from there to describe its change in energy. In other words:

$Q_{in} - W_{out} = \Delta E$

Where:

$Q_{in}$ - Heat absorbed by the gas, measured in joules.

$W_{out}$ - Work done by the gas, measured in joules.

$\Delta E$ - Change in energy, measured in joules.

If we know that $Q_{in} = 1.36\times 10^{2}\,J$ and $W_{out} = 3.19\times 10^{2}\,J$ , the change in energy of the gas is:

$\Delta E = 1.36\times 10^{2}\,J-3.19\times 10^{2}\,J$

$\Delta E = -1.83\times 10^{2}\,J$

The change in energy of the gas during the process is $-1.83\times 10^{2}$ joules.
