Answer:
a) a = 0.477 m/s^2
b) u = 0.04862
Explanation:
Given:-
- The rotational speed of the turntable N = 33 rev/min
- The watermelon seed is r = 4.0 cm away from axis of rotation.
Find:-
(a) Calculate the acceleration of the seed, assuming that it does not slip. (b) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the seed and the turntable if the seed is not to slip
Solution:-
- First determine the angular speed (w) of the turntable.
w = 2π*N / 60
w = 2π*33 / 60
w = 3.456 rad/s
- The watermelon seed undergoes a centripetal acceleration ( α ) defined by:
α = w^2 * r
α = 3.456^2 * 0.04
α = 0.477 m / s^2
- The minimum friction force (Ff) is proportional to the contact force of the seed.
- The weight (W) of the seed with mass m acts downwards. The contact force (N) can be determined from static condition of seed in vertical direction.
N - W = 0
N = W = m*g
- The friction force of the (Ff) is directed towards the center of axis of rotation, while the centripetal force acts in opposite direction. The frictional force Ff = u*N = u*m*g must be enough to match the centripetal force exerted by the turntable on the seed.
Ff = m*a
u*m*g = m*a
u = a / g
u = 0.477 / 9.81
u = 0.04862
This question is incomplete, but I can do it for you, considering the equation to be *In its most famous form*:
A+B⇒C+D
A and B here are the reactants, while C and D are the products.
The reactants are generally the input materials in the beginning of any chemical reactions and they usually, if not always, are on the left hand side of the chemical equation. While the products are on the right hand side and are the final output of the chemical reaction.
Hope this helps.
Being made mostly of gas is NOT a
characteristic of an inner planet. The correct answer between all the choices
given is the last choice or letter D. I am hoping that this answer has

Theories have both an explanatory an a predictive function. True
