In a thunder and lightning storm there is a rule of thumb that many people follow. After seeing the lightning, count seconds to

yourself. If it takes 5 seconds for the sound of the thunder to reach you, then the lightning bolt was 1 mile away from you. Sound travels at a speed of 331 meters/second. How accurate is the rule of thumb? Express your answer as a percent error.

Answer:

2.837% less than actual value.

Explanation:

Based on given information let's calculate our value.

S = Vxt = 331m/s x 5s = 1655m, that is the total distance that sound would travel in 5 seconds.

1mile = 1609.34meters.

percentage error is.

\frac{actual-calculated}{actual} *100 = \frac{1609.34-1655}{1609.34} *100 = -2.83%

negative indicates less than actual value.

A disk of radius 25 cm spinning at a rate of 30 rpm slows to a stop over 3 seconds. what is the angular acceleration?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

α = -π/3 rad/s²

θ = 1.5π rad ≈ 4.71 rad

θ = 0.75 rev

Explanation:

30 rev/min (2π rad/rev) / (60 s/min) = π rad/s

α = (ωf - ωi) / t = (0 - π) / 3 = -π/3 rad/s²

θ = ½αt² = ½(π/3)3² = 1.5π rad ≈ 4.71 rad

θ = 1.5π rad / 2π rad/rev = 0.75 rev
