When it is at rotating at full speed, a disk drive in a certain old computer game system revolves once every 0.050 seconds. Star

ting from rest, it takes two revolutions for the disk to reach full speed. Assuming that the angular acceleration of the disk is constant, what is its angular acceleration while it is speeding up

Answer:

α = 200*π rad/sec²

Explanation:

  • If the disk drive revolves once every 0.05 sec, this means that the angular velocity can be expressed as follows:

        \omega = \frac{2*\pi}{0.05s} = 40*\pi rad/sec

  • (just applying the definition of angular velocity)
  • Now, it the disk started from rest, and took two revolutions to reach to full speed, assuming that the angular acceleration is constant, we can find the angular acceleration applying this kinematic equation:

        \omega_{f} ^{2} -\omega_{0} ^{2} = 2*\alpha * \Delta\theta

  • where Δθ, is the angle rotated while it went from rest to full speed, i.e., 2 revolutions, or 2*π rads.
  • Replacing by the value that we found for ωf (as ω₀ = 0), we  can solve for α :

       \alpha =\frac{\omega_{f}^{2} }{2*\Delta\theta} = \frac{(40*\pi)^{2} }{2*2*2*\pi } =\\ \\ \alpha = 200*\pi rad/sec2

Gelneren [198K]

Mass of gold m₁ = 47 g

Initial temperature of gold T₁ = 99 C

Specific heat of gold C₁ = 0.129 J/gC

final temperature T₂ = 38 C

Heat needed by the gold to cool down

Q =m₁ * C₁* ( T₁ - T₂)

Q = (47)(0.129)(99-38)

Q = 369.843 J

This heat will be given by the water

we need to find out mass of water m₂

and initial temperature of water is T₃ = 25 C

Specific heat of water C₂ = 4.184 J/gC

Q = m₂*C₂*(T₂ - T₃)

369.843 = m₂(4.184)(38-25)

m₂ = 6.8 g

: Do you attract the Earth or the Earth attracts you which one is attracting with a larger force?
seraphim [82]

Answer: The Earth and you are attracted to the centers of each other by a pair of equal gravitational forces. The size of the force attracting you toward the center of the Earth is your "weight" on Earth. The size of the force attracting the Earth toward the center of you is the Earth's "weight" on you.

What make molecules​
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons among atoms. The atoms of certain elements readily bond with other atoms to form molecules. ... The element helium is a one-atom molecule.
