Dizziness. Our balance is maintained, at least in part, by the endolymph fluid in the inner ear. Spinning displaces this fluid,

causing dizziness. Suppose a dancer (or skater) is spinning at a very fast 2.9 revolutions per second about a vertical axis through the center of his head. Although the distance varies from person to person, the inner ear is approximately 7.0 cm from the axis of spin.What is the radial acceleration (in m/s^2 ) of the endolymph fluid?

Answer:

23.2 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, we need to convert the angular velocity from revolutions per second to radiands per second. We know that

1 rev = 2 \pi rad

So\omega = 2.9 rev/s \cdot 2\pi rad/rev =18.2 rad/s

We also know that the distance of the inner ear from the centre of the circular path is

r = 7.0 cm = 0.07 m

the radial (centripetal) acceleration experienced by a point on the inner ear is

a=\omega^2 r

Therefore, substutiting the previous values, we find the radial acceleration of the endolymph fluid:

a=(18.2)^2(0.07)=23.2 m/s^2

With the aid of a string, a gyroscope is accelerated from rest to 16 rad/s in 0.40 s. what is its angular acceleration in rad/s2
vovikov84 [41]

Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)

Change in angular speed = (ending speed) minus (starting speed)

Change in angular speed = (16 rad/s) - (zero) = 16 rad/s .

Angular acceleration = (16 rad/s) / (0.4 s)

(Average) angular acceleration = 40 rad/s²

according to newton's third law, when a horse pulls on a cart, the cart pulls back on the horse with an equal force on the horse
Debora [2.8K]
Based on Newton's principle, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other.

When a horse pulls on a cart, t<span>he horse exerts a force only to the cart. But that force applies only to the cart, not to the horse.
 
The cart in turn exerts a force on the horse. But that force applies only to the horse, not the cart also.
</span>
There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the horse and a force on the cart. T<span>he net force on the cart remains as it was --- a positive force in the direction of the horse's movement. Therefore, the cart begins to accelerate and move.</span><span>

How much heat energy (in megajoules) is needed to convert 7 kg of ice at -9°C C to water at 0°C?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

hence option A is correct

Explanation:

heat required from -9°C to 0°C ice = mass × specific heat of ice ×change in temperature

heat required from -9°C to 0°C ice = 7×2100×9 =132300 J =0.1323 MJ

( HERE SPECIFIC HEAT OF ICE IS A CONSTANT VALUE OF 2100

J/(kg °C )

heat required from  0°C ice to 0°C water = mass× specific heat of fusion of ice

                                                             = 7×3.36×10^5

                                                              = 2.352 × 10^6 J

                                                              = 2.352 MJ

TOTAL HEAT ENERGY REQUIRED = 0.1323 MJ +2.352 MJ

                                                          = 2.4843 MJ

hence option A is correct
