A firm wants to determine the amount of frictional torque in their current line of grindstones, so they can redesign them to be

more energy efficient. To do this, they ask you to test the best-selling model, which is basically a diskshaped grindstone of mass 2.0 kg and radius 9.90 cm which operates at 720 rev/min. When the power is shut off, you time the grindstone and find it takes 41.9 s for it to stop rotating.
(a) What is the angular acceleration of the grindstone in rad/s^2? (b) What is the frictional torque exerted on the grindstone in N·m?

Answer:

a)- 1.799 rad/sec²

b)- 17.6 x 10ˉ³Nm

Explanation:

ω₀ = 720 rev/min x (1 min/60 sec) x (2π rad / 1 rev) =  24π rad/s

a) Assuming a constant angular acceleration, the formula will be

α = (ωf -ω₀) / t

As final state of the grindstone is at rest, so ωf =0

⇒ α = (0-24π) / 41.9 = - 1.799 rad/sec²

b)Moment of inertia I for a disk about its central axis

I = ½mr²  

where m=2kg and radius 'r'= 0.099m

I = ½(2)(0.099²)

I = 9.8 x 10ˉ³ kgm²

Next is to determine the frictional torque exerted on the grindstone, that caused it to stop, applying the rotational equivalent of the Newton's 2nd law:

τ = I α =>(9.8 x 10ˉ³)(- 1.799)

τ = - 17.6 x 10ˉ³Nm

(The negative sign indicates that the frictional torque opposes to the rotation of  the grindstone).

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

An electron is released a short distance above earth's surface. a second electron directly below it exerts an electrostatic forc
slamgirl [31]

The mass of an electron is 9.109 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The weight of the electron is (mass) x (g) =  8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ Newton

The charge on an electron is -1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ Coulomb

The repelling force between the two electrons is (K · q₁ · q₂ / r²) =

(8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

In order for the bottom one to just exactly hold the top one up at a distance 'D', the repelling force has to be exactly equal to the weight of the upper electron.

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ N = (8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²)·(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

We have to solve THAT ugly mess for ' D '.

Clean up the units first:

Cancel the C² on the right side, then divide each side by Newton:

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ = (8.98755 x 10⁹ m²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)² / D²

Now, let's multiply both sides by (D² x 10²⁹) :

D² x 8.926 x 10⁻¹ = (8.98755 m²) x (1.602)²

Divide each side by (0.8926):

D² = (8.98755 x 1.602²) / (0.8926)  meter²

D² = 25.84 m²

Take the square root of each side:

<em>D = 5.08 meters</em>

What is the resistance force when you walk up an inclined plane?<br> Please help quick!
Dominik [7]
Friction
Friction also affects the movement of an object on a slope. Friction is a force that offers resistance to movement when one object is in contact with another. Imagine now that you were on the downside of the object and applying force to keep the object in the same place (not moving)
