Answer:

B. 30 m down

Explanation:

In physics we have two types of quantities:

- Scalar quantity: it is a quantity which only has a magnitude (e.g: mass and time are scalar quantities, since they only have a magnitude)

- Vector quantity: it is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction (e.g: velocity is a vector quantity, since it has a magnitude (the speed) and a direction)

In this problem, we have:

A. 100 ounces of water --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)

B. 30 m down --> vector (this is a displacement, which has both a magnitude (30 m) and a direction (down)

C. 88 mi/s --> scalar (this is a speed, which has only a magnitude)

D. 45 gallons in a bucket --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)

So, the correct option is B.

Hi there!

We can use the initial conditions to solve for w₀.

It is given that:

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = w_0e^{-\sigma t}$

We are given that at t = 0, ω = 3.7 rad/sec. We can plug this into the equation:

$\omega(0)= \omega_0e^{-\sigma (0)}\\\\3.7 = \omega_0 (1)\\\\\omega_0 = \boxed{3.7 rad/sec}$

Now, we can solve for sigma using the other given condition:

$2 = 3.7e^{-\sigma (8.6)}\\\\.541 = e^{-\sigma (8.6)}\\\\ln(.541) = -\sigma (8.6)\\\\\sigma = \frac{ln(.541)}{-8.6} = \boxed{0.0714s^{-1}}$

The angular acceleration is the DERIVATIVE of the angular velocity function, so:

$\alpha(t) = \frac{d\omega}{dt} = -\sigma\omega_0e^{-\sigma t}\\\\\alpha(t) = -(0.0714)(3.7)e^{-(0.0714) (3)}\\\\\alpha(t) = \boxed{-0.213 rad\sec^2}$

The angular displacement is the INTEGRAL of the angular velocity function.

$\theta (t) = \int\limits^{t_2}_{t_1} {\omega(t)} \, dt\\\\\theta(t) = \int\limits^{2.5}_{0} {\omega_0e^{-\sigma t}dt\\\\$

$\theta(t) = -\frac{\omega_0}{\sigma}e^{-\sigma t}\left \| {{t_2=2.5} \atop {t_1=0}} \right.$

$\theta = -\frac{3.7}{0.0714}e^{-0.0714 t}\left \| {{t_2=2.5} \atop {t_1=0}} \right. \\\\\theta= -\frac{3.7}{0.0714}e^{-0.0714 (2.5)} + \frac{3.7}{0.0714}e^{-0.0714 (0)}$

$\theta = 8.471 rad$

Convert this to rev:

$8.471 rad * \frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = \boxed{1.348 rev}$

We can begin by solving for the time necessary for the angular speed to reach 0 rad/sec.

$0 = 3.7e^{-0.0714t}\\\\t = \infty$

Evaluate the improper integral:

$\theta = \int\limits^{\infty}_{0} {\omega_0e^{-\sigma t}dt\\\\$

$\lim_{a \to \infty} \theta = -\frac{\omega_0}{\sigma}e^{-\sigma t}\left \| {{t_2=a} \atop {t_1=0}} \right.$

$\lim_{a \to \infty} \theta = -\frac{3.7}{0.0714}e^{-0.0714a} + \frac{3.7}{0.0714}e^{-0.0714(0)}\\\\ \lim_{a \to \infty} \theta = \frac{3.7}{0.0714}(1) = 51.82 rad$

Convert to rev:

$51.82 rad * \frac{1rev}{2\pi rad} = \boxed{8.25 rev}$

How many kids under the age of 21 are drinking and smoking in the us and California combined

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Well I don't think there is a specific answer for that, but a lot of under the age children do drink and smoke,because these days,their parents either don't care, and some just don't know about it. Many kids drink and smoke these days and I don't think there is a on point percentage.

Explanation: Hope this helps and have a good day!!!
