The earth has a radius of 6.38 × 106 m and turns on its axis once every 23.9 h.

Answer:

a) V = 465.9 m/s

b) θ = 70.529°

Explanation:

Let's first calculate angular velocity of earth:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{23.9h}*1h/3600s

Velocity of a person on Ecuador will be:

V_E = \omega*R

V_E = 465.9 m/s

For part b, since angular velocity is the same:

\frac{\omega*R}{3}=\omega*(R*cos\theta )

Solving for θ:

\theta=acos(1/3)

\theta=70.529\°

A 15.0 kg crate, initially at rest, slides down a ramp 2.0 m long and inclined at an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Using t
Elis [28]

The component of the crate's weight that is parallel to the ramp is the only force that acts in the direction of the crate's displacement. This component has a magnitude of

<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> sin(20.0°) = (15.0 kg) (9.81 m/s^2) sin(20.0°) ≈ 50.3 N

Then the work done by this force on the crate as it slides down the ramp is

<em>W</em> = <em>F d</em> = (50.3 N) (2.0 m) ≈ 101 J

The work-energy theorem says that the total work done on the crate is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Since it starts at rest, its initial kinetic energy is 0, so

<em>W</em> = <em>K</em> = 1/2 <em>mv</em> ^2

Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> = √(2<em>W</em>/<em>m</em>) = √(2 (101 J) / (2.0 m)) ≈ 10.0 m/s

Neurotransmitters are typically stored in which parts of a neuron?
Doss [256]

Answer:  Neurotransmitters are being produced by neuron and stored in vesicles.

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are secreted into the synaptic gap by exocytosis process, where the vesicles membranes fuse with the presynaptic button. The synaptic gap is usually in the order of 0.02 micron.

Several neurotransmitters include Acetylcholine, Dopamine, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), Glutamate, Norepinephrine, and Serotonin.

The solid shaft with a 20 mm radius is used to transmit the torques applied to the gears. Determine the maximum torsional shear
AysviL [449]

Answer:

τ = (7.96 x 10⁴ m⁻³)T

This is the expression for maximum allowable shear stress in terms of the maximum torque applied in Nm.

Explanation:

The maximum allowable shear stress on the solid shaft can be given by the torsional formula as follows:

τ = Tc/J

where,

τ = Maximum Allowable Shear Stress = ?

T = Maximum Torque Applied to the Shaft

c = maximum distance from center to edge = radius in this case = 20 mm = 0.02 m

J = Polar Moment of inertia = πr⁴/2 = π(0.02 m)⁴/2 = 2.51 x 10⁻⁷ m⁴

Therefore,

τ = T(0.02 m)/(2.51 x 10⁻⁷ m⁴)

<u>τ = (7.96 x 10⁴ m⁻³)T</u>

<u>This is the expression for maximum allowable shear stress in terms of the maximum torque applied in Nm.</u>
