Mary starts at the edge of a circular platform that is slowly rotating on a frictionless axle. She then walks towards the opposi

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The motion of Mary along the circular path is a centripetal.

As Mary moves from one edge of the circular platform to the other edge, she is covering a distance which is the radius of the circular path at a velocity.

According to the relationship

w = v/r where

w is the angular velocity

r is the radius

v is the linear velocity

Initially, before Mary starts, her linear speed is zero and her angular velocity is also zero. As she move towards the opposite edge, she is covering a distance of radius r. According to the formula, increase in radius will leads to decrease in her angular velocity and vice versa. As Mary starts moving towards the centre of the circular path, her angular velocity increases, at the centre of the platform, her angular velocity is at maximum at this point. As she moves further from the center to the other edge, her angular velocity decreases due to increase in distance covered across the circular path.

Why is Tycho Brahe often called “the greatest naked-eye astronomer” of all time?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:Explained Below

Explanation:

Tycho Brahe saw a super nova which inspired him to study astronomy.His observations are 5 times more accurate than other astronomers of his time and thus he was given a private island to study about astronomy .He made most accurate naked eye measurements ever.

So he can be said to be the "greatest naked eye astronomer of all time"

Una carga de -10Mc está situada a 20cm delante de otra carga de 5 Mc. Calcular la fuerza electrostática en Newton ejercida por u

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

a) force between them is attraction, b) F = 1.125 10⁻² N

Explanation:

In this case the electric force is given by Coulomb's law

F = $k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

In the exercise they give us the values of the loads

q1 = - 10 mC = -10 10⁻³ C

q2 = 5 mC = 5 10⁻³ C

d = 20 cm = 0.20 m

let's calculate

F = 9 10⁹ $\frac{10 \ 10^{-3} \ 5 \ 10^{-3}}{0.20^2}$

F = 1.125 10⁻² N

To find the direction of the force we use that charges of the same sign repel each other, as in this case there is a positive and a negative charge, the force between them is attraction

How long was a 60 W light bulb turned on if it used a total of 580 J of energy?

icang [17]

Here's the tool you need. You can't answer the question without this:

   "1 watt"
means
   "1 joule of energy, generated, used, or moved, every second".

So 60 watts = 60 joules per second

   Total energy generated,
      used, or moved = (power) x (time).

   580 joules = (60 watts) x (time)

Divide each side
by (60 watts): Time = (580 joules) / (60 joules/sec)

   = (9 and 2/3) seconds .

A hot air balloon is on the ground, 200 feet from an observer. The pilot decides to ascend at 100 ft/min. How fast is the angle

liq [111]

Answer:

0.0031792338 rad/s

Explanation:

$\theta$ = Angle of elevation

y = Height of balloon

Using trigonometry

$tan\theta=y\dfrac{y}{200}\\\Rightarrow y=200tan\theta$

Differentiating with respect to t we get

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}200tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dt}=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow 100=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{100}{200sec^2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}cos^2\theta$

Now, with the base at 200 ft and height at 2500 ft

The hypotenuse is

$h=\sqrt{200^2+2500^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2507.98\ ft$

Now y = 2500 ft

$cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{h}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{2507.98}=0.07974$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.07974^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.0031792338\ rad/s$

The angle is changing at 0.0031792338 rad/s
