A disk of radius 10 cm speeds up from rest. it turns 60 radians reaching an angular velocity of 15 rad/s. what was the angular a
stepan [7]

Answer:

a) α = 1.875 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

b) t = 8 s

Explanation:

Given:

ω1 = 0 \frac{rad}{s}

ω2 = 15 \frac{rad}{s}

theta (angular displacement) = 60 rad

*side note: you can replace regular, linear variables in kinematic equations with angular variables (must entirely replace equations with angular variables)*

a) α = ?

(ω2)^2 = (ω1)^2 + 2α(theta)

15^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(α)(60)

225 = 120α

α = 1.875 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

b)

α = (ω2-ω1)/t

t = (ω2-ω1)/α = (15-0)/1.875 = 8

t = 8 s

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B at a speed of 2.30 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 1.70 10
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed (V) = speed of 2.30×10^7 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.70×10^13 m/s^2

Using the right hand rule provided by  Lorentz law:

B = F / qvSinΘ

Where B = magnitude of the magnetic field

v = speed of the particle

Θ = 90° (perpendicular to the field)

q = charge of the particle

SinΘ = sin90°  = 1

Note F = ma

Therefore,

B = ma / qvSinΘ

Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10^-27

Charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C

B = [(1.67 × 10^-27) × (1.70 × 10^13)] / (1.6 × 10^-19) × (2.30 × 10^7) × 1

B = 2.839 × 10^-14 / 3.68 × 10^-12

B = 0.7715 × 10^-2

B = 7.72 × 10^-3 T

2) Magnetic field will be in the negative y direction according to the right hand thumb rule.

Since Velocity is in the positive z- direction, acceleration in the positive x - direction, then magnetic field must be in the negative y-direction.

The average specific heat of the human body is 3.6 kJ/kg·°C. If the body temperature of a(n) 96-kg man rises from 37°C to 39°C d
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

691200 J

Explanation:

From specific heat capacity,

ΔQ = cmΔt.................. Equation 1

Where ΔQ = increase in thermal energy, c = specific heat capacity of the body, m = mass of the man, Δt = rise in temperature.

Given: c = 3.6 kJ/kg.°C = 3600 J/kg.°C, m = 96 kg, Δt = 39-37 = 2 °C.

Substitute into equation 1

ΔQ = 3600×96×2

ΔQ = 691200 J.

Hence the change in the thermal energy of the body = 691200 J

A 46.5-kg ball has a momentum of 57.2 kg m/s. What is the ball's speed?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

1.23 m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

57.2 = 46.5v

v= 57.2/46.5

v= 1.23

If you want to verify your answer, just insert the value of v in the equation.
