irakobra [83]

Answer:

dF=2.5Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Time T=0.2sec

Generally the Period is given as

 T= 2 * 0.2 = 0.4

Therefore difference in frequency dF

 dF=\frac{1}{T}

 dF=\frac{1}{0.4}

 dF=2.5Hz

A dvd drive has a maximum speed of 72000 revolutions per minute. if a dvd has a diamter of 12 what is the linear speed
Brilliant_brown [7]
The question isn't clear enough, I think it ask us to calculate the linear speed of a point at the edge of the DVD.
Now let's imagine we're a point at the edge of the DVD, we're undergoing a circular motion. Each minute we will complete a circular track 7200 times, now we need to know the distance we travel each turn. The perimeter of the DVD, a circular object is:
P=2\pi.R
Know recall that:
v=\frac{d}{t}
We now need to know how much distance is traveled during a minute or 60 seconds:
D=7200\times 2\pi\times R
Finally we divide this result with t=60 seconds:
v=\frac{7200\times2\pi\times R}{60}
\\
R=\frac{12}{2}=6

v\approx 4523.89 \frac{units}{second}
Where the distance units were named units as the length unit is not specified in this exercise.<span />

What is the difference between acceleration and linear acceleration?
Akimi4 [234]

Explanation:

Linear acceleration is a type of acceleration of a body along a straight path or line.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time.

  Acceleration = \frac{Change in velocity}{time}

There are different types of acceleration .

  • linear acceleration is used to describe the rate of change of velocity of a body along a straight path with time.
  • centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body traveling along a circular path with time. It is directed towards the center.
  • Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.
