A penny is placed at the outer edge of a disk (radius = 0.179 m) that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the di

sk at its center. The period of the rotation is 1.60 s. Find the minimum coefficient of friction necessary to allow the penny to rotate along with the disk

Answer:

\mu = 0.28

Explanation:

Time period of the revolution of the disc is given as

T = 1.60 s

now the angular speed of the disc is given as

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

so we will have

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{1.60}

\omega = 3.92 rad/s

now at the rim position of the disc the net force on the penny is due to friction force

So we will have

\mu mg = m\omega^2 r

here we will have

\mu g = \omega^2 r

\mu = \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}

\mu = \frac{3.92^2 (0.179)}{9.81}

\mu = 0.28

Which process generates energy in the Sun?1) nuclear fusion2) nuclear fission3) chain reaction4) transmutation
Ber [7]

1) nuclear fusion

During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. During this process, radiant energy is released.

Most comets have short periods and orbit close to the ecliptic plane. (T/F)
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most comets are located outside the solar system, in part of the cloud that originated from dust and gas that has remained virtually untouchable for billions of years. The orbit of these comets can reach the order of a light year. Thus, they are called long-period comets.

We use towels to dry our body after taking a shower,why?<br><br>​
9966 [12]

Answer:

A wet body has a relatively high concentration of water. When this is transferred to a towel, the large surface area of the towel fabric distributes the water molecules over a much greater surface area, so the relative concentration is lower.

A river 1.00 mile wide flows with a constant speed of 1.00 mph. A man can row a boat at 2.00 mph. He crosses the river in a dire
gladu [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the geometric concepts of displacement according to the description given. Taking into account that there is an initial displacement towards the North and then towards the west, therefore the speed would be:

V_T^2=v_N^2-v_W^2

V_T = \sqrt{v_N^2-v_W^2}

Travel north 2mph and west to 1mph, then,

V_T = \sqrt{2^2-1^2}

V_T = \sqrt{3}

The route is done exactly the same to the south and east, so make this route twice, from the definition of speed we have to

v= \frac{\Delta x}{t}

t = \frac{\Delta x}{v}

t = \frac{2*(1mile)}{\sqrt{3}mph}

t = 1.15hour

Therefore the total travel time for the man is 1.15hour.
