A sock stuck to the inside of the clothes dryer spins around the drum once every 2.0 s at a distance of 0.50 m from the center o

f the drum. A) What is the sock's linear speed? B) If the drum were twice as wide but continued to turn with the same frequency, would the linear speed of a sock stuck to the inside be faster than, slower than, or the same speed as your answer to part a?

a) 1.57 m/s

The sock spins once every 2.0 seconds, so its period is

T = 2.0 s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the sock is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{2.0}=3.14 rad/s

The linear speed of the sock is given by

v=\omega r

where

\omega is the angular velocity

r = 0.50 m is the radius of the circular path of the sock

Substituting, we find:

v=(3.14)(0.50)=1.57 m/s

B) Faster

In this case, the drum is twice as wide, so the new radius of the circular path of the sock is twice the previous one:

r' = 2r = 1.00 m

At the same time, the drum spins at the same frequency as before, therefore the angular frequency as not changed:

\omega' = \omega = 3.14 rad/s

Therefore, the new linear speed would be:

v'=\omega' r' = \omega (2r)

And substituting,

v'=(3.14)(1.00)=3.14 rad/s = 2v

So, we see that the linear speed has doubled.

Assuming thermal equilibrium and neglecting air loss, determine the absolute internal pressure of the air when it is cold.
densk [106]
Since the temperature decreases (cold) , the pressure exerted will decrease. the particles are move slower and collide less vigorously and frequently with the inner surface of the container . therefore since p = f/a , the pressure will decrease as force exerted decreases .

A 35 kg child goes down a playground that is inclined at an angle of 27.5 degrees above the horizontal. Find the acceleration if
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

4.16m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newtons second law;

\sum Fx = ma_x\\Fm - Ff = ma_x\\W sin\theta - \mu R cos \theta = ma_x\\mg sin\theta - \mu mg cos\theta = ma_x\\

Fm is the moving force

\mu is  the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration of the child

Substitute the given values and get the acceleration as shown;

35(9.8)sin27.5 - 0.415(35)(cos27.5) = 35a

158.38-12.88 = 35a

145.49 = 35a

a = 145.49/35

a = 4.16m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the body is  4.16m/s²
