A wheel that is rotating at 33.3 rad/s is given an angular acceleration of 2.15 rad/s 2. Through what angle has the wheel turned
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, \omega _i = 33.3 rad/s

angular acceleration, α = 2.15 rad/s²

final angular velocity, \omega_f = 72 rad/s

angle the wheel turned, θ = ?

The angle through which the wheel turned can be calculated by applying the following kinematic equation;

\omega_f^2 = \omega_i^2 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\theta = \frac{\omega_f^2\   -\  \omega_i^2}{2\alpha } \\\\\theta = \frac{(72)^2\   -\  (33.3)^2}{2(2.15)}\\\\\theta = 947.7 \ rad

Therefore, the angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.

Adaptive radiation is demonstrated by ____
Vlad1618 [11]

X-rays are high energy electrons that can cause damage when exposed under extreme conditions. The best technology that can block it is using a lightweight type of metal foam. It can take in high energy collisions which also exhibits high forces. it does not only block x-rays but also, neutron radiation and gamma rays.
