a. 7.0 m/s

First of all, we need to convert the angular speed (1200 rpm) from rpm to rad/s:

\omega = 1200 \frac{rev}{min} \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=125.6 rad/s

Now we know that the row is located 5.6 cm from the centre of the disc:

r = 5.6 cm = 0.056 m

So we can find the tangential speed of the row as the product between the angular speed and the distance of the row from the centre of the circle:

v=\omega r = (125.6 rad/s)(0.056 m)=7.0 m/s

b.  875 m/s^2

The acceleration of the row of data (centripetal acceleration) is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where we have

v = 7.0 m/s is the tangential speed

r = 0.056 m is the distance of the row from the centre of the trajectory

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

a=\frac{(7.0 m/s)^2}{0.056 m}=875 m/s^2

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

h = 269.6 m

Explanation:

Pressure at the bottom of the building and at the top of the building must be related as

P_{top} = P_{bottom} - \rho g h

P_{top} = 730 mm Hg

P_{bottom} = 755 mm Hg

now we will have

(755 \times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81) = P_{bottom}

P_{bottom} = 1.007 \times 10^5 Pa

P_{top} = (730\times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81)

P_{top} = 0.974 \times 10^5

now we have

(1.007 - 0.974)\times 10^5 = 1.25 (9.81) h

h = 269.6 m

Hurricane sandy produced some of the greatest destruction along the new jersey coast in communities situated along narrow strips
FrozenT [24]

The correct answer to fill in the blank would be:

“a barrier island”

Barrier islands are coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.

Bob and John are pulling in different directions. If Bob is pulling to the right with a force of 10N, and John is pulling to the
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The net force on the box is 2 N to the left.

The box will move to the left.

The acceleration on the box is 0.5 m/s^2 to the left.

Explanation:

Let's say movement to the right is positive and left is negative.

Bob: +10 N

John: -12 N

Add those together and you get a net force of -2 N, and the negative sign means that the box is moving to the left.

For the acceleration:

Fnet = ma

-2 = (4 kg)a

a = -0.5 m/s^2

Again, the negative sign in this answer means the box is being accelerated to the left.

Coming to the bottom of a mountain, a skier moving with speed v collides with a barrier and is brought to a stop in an amount of
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse of a force is measured by force x time or F X t

Impulse also equals change in momentum or

F x t = m v₂ - m v₁

The given case is as follows

in the first case

F x t = mv - o = mv

F = mv / t

in the second case

F₁ x 4 t = mv

F₁ = 1/4 x mv /t

F₁ = F / 4

option a) is correct .

iii )

In the last case

F₂ X t = m v/2 -0

F₂ = 1/2 x mv / t

= 1/2 x F

F₂ = F/2

Option e ) is correct.

The roller coaster is designed according to safety regulations that prohibit the speed of the car from exceeding 20 m/s. find th
hram777 [196]

maximum allowed value of the speed in roller coaster is given as

v = 20 m/s

now from kinematics we can say

v^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s

here initial speed will be

v_i = 0

acceleration is due to gravity

a = 9.8 m/s^2

now we can use this to find the height

20^2 - 0^2 = 2 * 9.8* h

400 = 19.6 *h

h = 20.4 m

so maximum allowed height will be 20.4 m
