What are the average velocity and average acceleration of the tip of a 2.4 cm long hour hand of a clock?
ra1l [238]
A circle has a revolution of 360°. Since there are 12 hour markings, each hour interval has an angle of 30°. In radians, that would be equal to π/6 radians. So, in every 1 hour that passes, it covers π/6 of an angle. So, the angular velocity denoted as ω is π/6 ÷ 1 hour = π/6 rad/h. We can compute the average linear velocity, v, from the relationship:

v = rω, where r is the radius of the circle which is the length of the hour hand
v = (2.4 cm)(π/6 rad/h)
v = 1.257 cm/hour

Therefore, the average velocity is 1.257 cm per hour.

For the average acceleration, it is equal to zero. The hands of the clock move at a constant velocity. Since acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time, there is no change of velocity because it's constant. That's why it is zero.

In the model of the hydrogen atom due to Niels Bohr, the electron moves around the proton at a speed of 3.3 × 106 m/s in a circl
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2

Explanation:

q = Charge of proton = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

r = Radius of circle = 5.7\times 10^{-11}\ m

v = Velocity of proton = 3.3\times 10^6\ m/s

Magnetic moment is given by

M=\frac{1}{2}qrv\\\Rightarrow M=\frac{1}{2}1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5.7\times 10^{-11}\times 3.3\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow M=1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2

The magnetic moment associated with this motion is 1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2

Calculate two stars appear to you to have the same brightness. if star a is 7.00 light-years away from you, while star b is 15.0
vagabundo [1.1K]

It  is eight times more than the star A.

<h3>What is luminosity  and on which it depends?</h3>

The luminosity of an object is a measure of its intrinsic brightness and is defined as the amount of energy the object emits in a fixed time.

luminousity depends upon the two factors are:

1) The star's actual brightness

Some stars are naturally more luminous than others ,so the brightness level from one star to next star is significantly different.

2) The star distance from us

The more distance of an object the dimmer it appears.

Energy emitted = sAT⁴

where s is stefan constant

A is surface area and T is temperature  .

A tall, cylindrical chimney falls over when its base is ruptured. Treat the chimney as a thin rod of length 53.2 m. At the insta
rusak2 [61]
From an energy balance, we can use this formula to solve for the angular speed of the chimney

ω^2 = 3g / h sin θ

Substituting the given values:
ω^2 = 3 (9.81) / 53.2 sin 34.1
ω^2 = 0.987 /s

The formula for radial acceleration is:
a = rω^2

So,
a = 53.2 (0.987) = 52.494 /s^2

The linear velocity is:
v^2 = ar
v^2 = 52.949 (53.2) = 2816.887

The tangential acceleration is:
a = r v^2
a = 53.2 (2816.887)
a = 149858.378 m/s^2

If the tangential acceleration is equal to g:
g = r^2 3g / sin θ
Solving for θ
θ = 67°
