For this case we must do a conversion. By definition we have to:

1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters

1 day equals 24 hours.

So, we have: $18 \frac {in} {day} * \frac {1} {24} \frac {day} {h} * \frac {2.54} {1} \frac {cm} {in} =$

Canceling units we have:

$\frac {18 * 1 * 2.54} {24 * 1} \frac {cm} {h} =\\\frac {45.72} {24}\frac {cm} {h} =$

$1,905 \frac {cm} {h}$

Answer:

$1,905 \frac {cm} {h}$

A cart was allowed to roll down a ramp from rest. It reached the bottom of the ramp with a speed of 25 cm/s. A student could con

ladessa [460]

Answer:

A student could conclude that the cart gained momentum as it rolled down.

Explanation:

If the cart was allowed to roll down the ramp from rest, it means that the initial velocity of the cart is zero (0). Also, if the final velocity of the cart became 25 cm/s, it means that the velocity of the cart increased from 0 to 25 cm/s.

Therefore, A student could conclude that the cart gained momentum as it rolled down.

How we can see different colors by our eyes?

IrinaVladis [17]

I DID A Science PROJECT ON THIS >:)))

basically light travels into the eye to the retina located on the back of the eye. the retina is covered withe millions of light sensitive cells called Rods and cones. when these cells detect light they send signals to the brain that help detect color.

the color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that it reflects. it's determined by the arrangement of electrons in the atoms of that substance that will absorb and re-emit photons of particular energies according to quantum laws.

A torque of 36.5 N · m is applied to an initially motionless wheel which rotates around a fixed axis. This torque is the result

vivado [14]

Answer:

$21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

$3.672\ \text{Nm}$

$54.66\ \text{revolutions}$

Explanation:

$\tau$ = Torque = 36.5 Nm

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 0

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity = 10.3 rad/s

t = Time = 6.1 s

I = Moment of inertia

From the kinematic equations of linear motion we have

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha_1 t\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{10.3-0}{6.1}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=1.69\ \text{rad/s}^2$

Torque is given by

$\tau=I\alpha_1\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha_1}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{36.5}{1.69}\\\Rightarrow I=21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

The wheel's moment of inertia is $21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

t = 60.6 s

$\omega_i$ = 10.3 rad/s

$\omega_f$ = 0

$\alpha_2=\dfrac{0-10.3}{60.6}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=-0.17\ \text{rad/s}^2$

Frictional torque is given by

$\tau_f=I\alpha_2\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=21.6\times -0.17\\\Rightarrow \tau=-3.672\ \text{Nm}$

The magnitude of the torque caused by friction is $3.672\ \text{Nm}$

Speeding up

$\theta_1=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.69\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_1=31.44\ \text{rad}$

Slowing down

$\theta_2=10.3\times 60.6+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-0.17)\times 60.6^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_2=312.03\ \text{rad}$

Total number of revolutions

$\theta=\theta_1+\theta_2\\\Rightarrow \theta=31.44+312.03=343.47\ \text{rad}$

$\dfrac{343.47}{2\pi}=54.66\ \text{revolutions}$

The total number of revolutions the wheel goes through is $54.66\ \text{revolutions}$ .
