The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular velocity of 140 rev/min. When steam is shut off, the friction of the

bearings and of the air stops the wheel in 1.9 h. (a) What is the constant angular acceleration, in revolutions per minute-squared, of the wheel during the slowdown? (b) How many revolutions does the wheel make before stopping? (c) At the instant the flywheel is turning at 70.0 rev/min, what is the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a flywheel particle that is 40 cm from the axis of rotation? (d) What is the magnitude of the net linear acceleration of the particle in (c)?

Answer:

A) α = -1.228 rev/min²

B) 7980 revolutions

C) α_t = -8.57 x 10^(-4) m/s²

D) α = 21.5 m/s²

Explanation:

A) Using first equation of motion, we have;

ω = ω_o + αt

Where,

ω_o is initial angular velocity

α is angular acceleration

t is time the flywheel take to slow down to rest.

We are given, ω_o = 140 rev/min ; t = 1.9 hours = 1.9 x 60 seconds = 114 s ; ω = 0 rev/min

Thus,

0 = 140 + 114α

α = -140/114

α = -1.228 rev/min²

B) the number of revolutions would be given by the equation of motion;

S = (ω_o)t + (1/2)αt²

S = 140(114) - (1/2)(1.228)(114)²

S ≈ 7980 revolutions

C) we want to find tangential component of the velocity with r = 40cm = 0.4m

We will need to convert the angular acceleration to rad/s²

Thus,

α = -1.228 x (2π/60²) = - 0.0021433 rad/s²

Now, formula for tangential acceleration is;

α_t = α x r

α_t = - 0.0021433 x 0.4

α_t = -8.57 x 10^(-4) m/s²

D) we are told that the angular velocity is now 70 rev/min.

Let's convert it to rad/s;

ω = 70 x (2π/60) = 7.33 rad/s

So, radial angular acceleration is;

α_r = ω²r = 7.33² x 0.4

α_r = 21.49 m/s²

Thus, magnitude of total linear acceleration is;

α = √((α_t)² + (α_r)²)

α = √((-8.57 x 10^(-4))² + (21.49)²)

α = √461.82

α = 21.5 m/s²

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The mass of the object, its acceleration due to gravity and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level.

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravitational force by virtue of its position.

In order to determine the gravitational potential energy of the brick, we must know the mass (m) of the brick, its acceleration due to gravity (g) since it is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level. (The height).

Potential energy of a body is calculated as mass × acceleration due to gravity × height.

Choose all facts that increase the orbital velocity of a vessel around planet B. Bigger mass of planet B smaller mass of planet
telo118 [61]

Answer:

- Bigger mass of planet B  

- orbiting closer to planet B

Explanation:

The orbital velocity of the vessel around the planet can be found by equalizing the force of gravity between the vessel and the planet and the centripetal force:

G\frac{mM}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m is the mass of the vessel

M is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the vessel and the centre of the planet

v is the orbital velocity of the vessel

Re-arranging the formula, we find an expression for v:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

We see that:

- the bigger the mass of the planet, M, the bigger the velocity

- the bigger the distance between the vessel and the planet, r, the smaller the velocity

So, the correct choices that increase the orbital velocity are:

- Bigger mass of planet B  

- orbiting closer to planet B

Newton's first law states that objects do not change their velocity unless acted upon
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Air resistance/Drag (this is the proper term for air resistance) or gravity or friction

It depends on the direction and if you throw it across a surface or if you throw it straight upwards.

I hope this helps!!
