Answer: 6.65 rad/s

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to know that according the kinetic theory of gases, the average kinetic energy KE of a molecule with i degrees of freedom is:

KE=\frac{i}{2}kT (1)

Where:

i=5 because oxigen is a diatomic molecule and has 5 degrees of freedom

k=1.38064852 (10)^{-23} \frac{m^{2}kg}{s^{2}K} is the Boltzman constant

T=300 K is the temperature

Then:

KE=\frac{5}{2}(1.38064852 (10)^{-23} \frac{m^{2}kg}{s^{2}K})(300 K) (2)

KE=1.035 (10)^{-20} \frac{m^{2}kg}{s^{2}} (3) With this value of average kinetic energy we can find the average angular velocity, with the following equation:

KE=\frac{1}{2}I \omega^{2} (4)

Where:

I is the moment of inertia

\omega is the angular velocity

Now, I=m R^{2} (5)

Being m=31.98 g/mol=0.03198 kg/mol the molar mass of Oxigen molecule and R=0.121(10)^{-9}m the distance between atoms

I=(0.03198 kg/mol)(0.121(10)^{-9}m)^{2} (6)

I=4.682(10)^{-22} \frac{kg}{mol} m^{2} (7)

Substituting (7) and (3) in (4):

1.035 (10)^{-20} \frac{m^{2}kg}{s^{2}}=\frac{1}{2} (4.682(10)^{-22} \frac{kg}{mol} m^{2}) \omega^{2} (8)

Finding \omega:

\omega=6.65 rad/s (9) This is the average angular velocity for a molecule of O2

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a= 92. 13 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Amplitude ,A= 0.165 m

The maximum speed ,V(max) = 3.9 m/s

We know that maximum velocity in the SHM  given as

V(max)  = ω A

ω=Angular speed

A=Amplitude

\omega =\dfrac{3.9}{0.165}\ rad/s

ω=23.63 rad/s

The maximum acceleration given as

a = ω² A

a= (23.63)² x 0.165 m/s²

a= 92. 13 m/s²

Therefore the maximum magnitude of the acceleration will be 92. 13 m/s².

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m
