A bug is on the rim of a disk of diameter 9 in that moves from rest to an angular speed of 76 rev/min in 6.5 s. what is the tang

Let's convert the final angular speed of the disk into rad/s:
\omega_f = 76  \frac{rev}{min} \cdot  \frac{2 \pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=7.96 rad/s
while the initial angular speed is zero.

So, the angular acceleration of the disk is
\alpha =  \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i }{t} = \frac{7.96 rad/s}{6.5 s}=1.22 rad/s^2

The radius of the disk is half the diameter: r= d/2 = 9 m/2 =4.5 m

And so, the tangential acceleration is the angular acceleration times the radius:
a_t = \alpha r =(1.22 rad/s^2)(4.5 m)=5.49 m/s^2

According to Ohm's law what would happen if the current was increased and the resistance was held constant?
Whitepunk [10]
<span>Ohm's law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, the voltage would increase as well.</span>

An unknown immiscible liquid seeps into the bottom of an open oil tank. Some measurements indicate that the depth of the unknown
ira [324]

Answer:

The specific gravity of the unkown liquid is 15.

Explanation:

Gauge pressure, at the bottom of the tank in this case, can be calculated from

P_{bot}=\gamma_{oil}h_1 + \gamma_{unk}h_2,

where h_1 and h_2 are the height of the column of oil and the unkown liquid, respectively. Writing for \gamma_{unk}, we have

\gamma_{unk} = \frac{P_{bot} - \gamma_{oil}h_1}{h_2} = \frac{65\frac{kN}{m^2} - 8.5\frac{kN}{m^3}\times 5m}{1.5m} = \mathbf{15 \frac{kN}{m^3}}.

Relative to water, the unknow liquid specific weight is 15 times bigger, therefore this is its specific gravity as well.
