ratelena [41]

Answer:

The change in the mass of box = 0.01 kg

Volume of air in the polythene bag = Volume of air in the rigid box

Therefore, Volume of air in the box = 0.008 m^3

Now, Density = Mass/ Volume

=> Density = 0.01 / 0.008 = 1.25 Kg / m^3

The outer layer of cable on a cable reel is 16.2 cm from the center of the reel. The reel is initially stationary and can rotate

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. w=12.68rad/s

C. α=3.52rad/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by taking into account that (as in the uniformly accelerated motion)

$\theta=\omega_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}\\\theta = \frac{s}{r}$ ( 1 )

where w0 is the initial angular speed, α is the angular acceleration, s is the arc length and r is the radius.

In this case s=3.7m, r=16.2cm=0.162m, t=3.6s and w0=0. Hence, by using the equations (1) we have

$\theta=\frac{3.7m}{0.162m}=22.83rad$

$22.83rad=\frac{1}{2}\alpha (3.6s)^2\\\\\alpha=2\frac{(22.83rad)}{3.6^2s}=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}$

to calculate the angular speed w we can use $\alpha=\frac{\omega _{f}-\omega _{i}}{t _{f}-t _{i}}\\\\\omega_{f}=\alpha t_{f}=(3.52\frac{rad}{s^2})(3.6)=12.68\frac{rad}{s}$

Thus, wf=12.68rad/s

C) We can use our result in B)

$\alpha=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}$

I hope this is useful for you

A car of m = 1200. kg collides with a tree while traveling 60.0 mph. The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.

MrRissso [65]

You may know linear momentum is given by P= mass.velocity. Initially car is moving with some velocity so you know initial momentum of the car. Finally it comes to rest i.e final momentum of the car is 0. According to Newton's second law : Force = change in momentum /time. Applying this you'll get answer as 642840N. Hope it helped you. Revert back to me if you have any questions. Please check out the calculation it might be wrong!
