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

ential acceleration?

ehidna [41]3 years ago

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

A negative charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. Which of the following statements must be tru
elena-s [515]

Answer:

C) No work is required to move the negative charge from point A to point B.

Explanation:

An equipotential surface is defined as a surface connecting all the points at the same potential.

Therefore, when a charge moves along an equipotential surface, it moves between points at same potential.

The work done when moving a charge is given by

W=q\Delta V

where

q is the charge

\Delta V is the potential difference between the initial and final point of motion of the charge

However, the charge in this problem moves along an equipotential surface: this means that the potential does not change, so

\Delta V=0

And so, the work done is also zero.

A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass
makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s

Where does the majority of the mass of an atom come from
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The Nucleus

Explanation:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume.  I hope this helps you :D
