Given:

initial angular speed, \omega _{i} = 21.5 rad/s

final angular speed, \omega _{f} = 28.0 rad/s

time, t = 3.50 s

Solution:

Angular acceleration can be defined as the time rate of change of angular velocity and is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f} - \omega _{i}}{t}

Now, putting the given values in the above formula:

\alpha = \frac{28.0 - 21.5}{3.50}

\alpha = 1.86 m/s^{2}

Therefore, angular acceleration is:

\alpha = 1.86 m/s^{2}

The space shuttle releases a satellite into a circular orbit 630 km above the Earth.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

7,539 m/s

Explanation:

Let's use this equation to find the gravitational acceleration of this space shuttle:

  • \displaystyle g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

We know that G is the gravitational constant: 6.67 * 10^(-11) Nm²/kg².

M is the mass of the planet, which is Earth in this case: 5.972 * 10^24 kg.

r is the distance from the center of Earth to the space shuttle: radius of Earth (6.3781 * 10^6 m) + distance above the Earth (630 km → 630,000 m).

Plug these values into the equation:

  • \displaystyle g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^-^1^1 \ Nm^2kg^-^2)(5.972\cdot 10^2^4 \ kg)}{[(6.3781\cdot 10^6 \ m)+(630000 \ m)]^2}

Remove units to make the equation easier to read.

  • \displaystyle g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^-^1^1 )(5.972\cdot 10^2^4 )}{[(6.3781\cdot 10^6)+(630000 )]^2}

Multiply the numerator out.

  • \displaystyle g=\frac{(3.983324\cdot 10^1^4)}{[(6.3781\cdot 10^6)+(630000 )]^2}

Add the terms in the denominator.

  • \displaystyle g=\frac{(3.983324\cdot 10^1^4)}{[(7008100)]^2}

Simplify this equation.

  • \displaystyle g=8.11045189 \ \frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity g = 8.11045189 m/s². Now we use the equation for acceleration for an object in circular motion which contains v and r.

  • \displaystyle a = \frac{v^2}{r}

a = g, v is the velocity that the space shuttle should be moving (what we are trying to solve for), and r is the radius we had in the previous equation when solving for g.

Plug these values into the equation and solve for v.

  • \displaystyle 8.11045189 \ \frac{m}{s^2}  = \frac{v^2}{7008100 \ m}  

Remove units to make the equation easier to read.

  • \displaystyle 8.11045189   = \frac{v^2}{7008100}

Multiply both sides by 7,008,100.

  • 56838857.89=v^2

Take the square root of both sides.

  • v=7539.154985

The shuttle should be moving at a velocity of about 7,539 m/s when it is released into the circular orbit above Earth.

Four complete waves pass the duck in one second the frequency of this wave is
galben [10]
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations passing a given point per second.

In this case, assuming the duck is stationary, we have 4 complete waves passing the duck in one second: therefore, the frequency of the wave is
f= \frac{4}{1 s}=4 Hz

A hockey puck has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = .35. If the puck feels a normal force (FN) of 5 N, what is the frict
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force is  F_f =  1.75 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The coefficient of kinetic force is  μk = 0.35

     The normal force felt by the puck is  F_N  =  5 \  N

Generally the frictional force that acts on the puck is mathematically represented as

          F_f =  \mu_k  *  F_N

=>       F_f =  0.35  *  5

=>       F_f =  1.75 \  N
