Two skaters skate toward each other, each moving at 3.3 m/s. Their lines of motion are separated by a perpendicular distance of

1.5 m. Just as they pass each other (still 1.5 m apart), they link hands and spin about their common center of mass. What is the rotational speed of the couple about the center of mass? Treat each skater as a point particle, each with an inertia of 51 kg.

Answer:

4.4 rad/s

Explanation:

When the 2 skaters is spinning with a distance of 1.5m, their rotation radius is half of that distance, which is 1.5/2 = 0.75m.

Then their moments of inertia, given that their mass being 51 kg, is (treating them as point mass particle):

I = Mr^2 = 2Mr^2 = 51*0.75^2 = 38.25 kg.m^2

When they change from linear motion to rotational motion, their energy must be conserved:

E_L = E_r

2*(0.5Mv^2) = 2*(0.5I\omega^2)

\omega^2 = \frac{Mv^2}{I}

\omega = v\sqrt{\frac{M}{I}}

\omega = 3.3\sqrt{\frac{51}{38.25}} = 4.4 rad/s

How much voltage (in terms of the power source voltage bV) will the capacitor have when it has started at zero volts potential d
Archy [21]

Answer:

The voltage is   V =   0.993V_b

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time that has passed is  t = \frac{\tau}{2}

 Here \tau is know as the time constant

    The voltage of the  power source is   V_b

Generally the voltage equation for charging a capacitor is mathematically represented as

       V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{t}{\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{\frac{\tau}{2}}{\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{\tau}{2\tau} }]

=>   V =  V_b  [1 - e^{- \frac{1}{2} }]

=>   V =   0.993V_b

A car accelerates from rest at 3.6 m/s 2 . How much time does it need to attain a speed of 5 m/s?
Olenka [21]

car starts from rest

v_i = 0

final speed attained by the car is

v_f = 5 m/s

acceleration of the car will be

a = 3.6 m/s^2

now the time to reach this final speed will be

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{5 - 0}{3.6}

t = 1.39 s

so it required 1.39 s to reach this final speed
