The smallest angle from the horizontal that will cause the eggs to slick across the bottom of a Teflon-coated skillet is 2.29°

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Coefficient of friction, μ = 0.04

angle, Θ = ?

In order for the scrambled eggs to slide of the teflon, the force applied on the teflon due to gravity must be equal to the maximum value of the static friction force:

F = μ

mg sinΘ = μ mg cos Θ

sinΘ = μ cosΘ

μ = sinΘ / cosΘ

μ = tanΘ

0.04 = tanΘ

Θ = tan⁻¹ (0.04)

Θ = 2.29°

Therefore, the smallest angle from the horizontal that will cause the eggs to slick across the bottom of a Teflon-coated skillet is 2.29°

If there is 8 g of a substance before a physical change , how much will there be afterwards?
Dimas [21]
A substance undergoing a physical change will still weigh the same even after the change. This is in accordance to the law of conservation of mass which states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. so an 8 g substance remains of the same weight even after undergoing a physical change.

How many swings would a 23 cm long pendulum make in 30 seconds?
iragen [17]

Is there any possible chance that at some point in your science
studies, sometime before you were given this question for your
homework, that maybe you might have encountered this formula
for the period of a simple pendulum ?

                   Period = (2 pi) √(length/gravity) .

If the length is 0.23 meter, and the
acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s²,
then the period is

                                 = (2 pi) √(0.23/9.8)

                                 =   0.963... second  (rounded)

That's how long it takes for a simple pendulum, 23cm long,
hanging on a massless string and not swinging too far to
the side, to complete one full swing left and right.

Now, if you can figure out how many periods of  0.963 second
there are in  30 seconds, you'll have your answer.  I'll leave
that part of it to you.

A centrifuge in a medical laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,650 rev/min. when switched off, it rotates through 48.0 re
AlladinOne [14]
First of all we need to convert everything into SI units.

Let's start with the initial angular speed, \omega _i = 3650 rev/min. Keeping in mind that
1 rev = 2 \pi rad
1 min=60 s
we have
\omega _i = 3650  \frac{rev}{min} \cdot  \frac{2 \pi rad/rev}{60 s/min} =382.0 rad/s

And we should also convert the angle covered by the centrifuge:
\theta = 48.0 rev= 48.0 rev \cdot  2 \pi  \frac{rad}{rev}=301.4 rad

This is the angle covered by the centrifuge before it stops, so its final angular speed is \omega_f =0.

To solve the problem we can use the equivalent of
2aS = v_f^2 -v_i^2
of an uniformly accelerated motion but for a rotational motion. It will be
2 \alpha \theta = \omega_f^2-\omega_i^2
And by substituting the numbers, we can find the value of \alpha, the angular acceleration:
\alpha=- \frac{\omega_i^2}{2 \theta}=- \frac{(382 rad/s)^2}{2 \cdot 301.4 rad}=-242.1 rad/s^2
