Answer:

59.4 meters

Explanation:

The correct question statement is :

A floor polisher has a rotating disk that has a 15-cm radius. The disk rotates at a constant angular velocity of 1.4 rev/s and is covered with a soft material that does the polishing. An operator holds the polisher in one place for 4.5 s, in order to buff an especially scuff ed area of the floor. How far (in meters) does a spot on the outer edge of the disk move during this time?

Solution:

We know for a circle of radius r and θ angle by an arc of length S at the center,

S=rθ

This gives

θ=S/r

also we know angular velocity

ω=θ/t    where t is time

or

θ=ωt

and we know

1 revolution =2π radians

From this we have

angular velocity ω = 1.4 revolutions per sec =  1.4×2π radians /sec = 1.4×3.14×2×= 8.8 radians / sec

Putting values of ω and time t in

θ=ωt

we have

θ= 8.8 rad / sec × 4.5 sec

θ= 396 radians

We are given radius r = 15 cm = 15 ×0.01 m=0.15 m (because 1 m= 100 cm and hence, 1 cm = 0.01 m)

put this value of θ and r  in

S=rθ

we have

S= 396 radians ×0.15 m=59.4 m

Answer:

59.4 m.

Explanation:

Using equations of angular motion,

S = r*θ

ω = θ/t

where

r = radius in meters

t = time in seconds.

θ = angular displacement in radians

ω = angular velocity in rad/s

Remember,

1 revolution = 2π radians.

ω = 1.4 rev/s

Converting rev/s to rad/s,

= 1.4 rev/s * 2π rads/rev

= 8.8 rad/s

t = 45 s

r = 15 cm

Converting cm to m,

= 15 cm x 10^-2 m/ 1 cm

= 0.15 m

ω*t = θ

θ = 8.8 * 4.5

θ = 396 radians

Remember,

S = r*θ

we have

S = 396 * 0.15

= 59.4 m

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

All the three quantities will have non zero joules.

Explanation:

At the initial position of rest the system will have only gravitational potential energy while the other 2 quantities will be zero.

when the system reaches a height (y-h) only kinetic energy will be zero while the other 2 quantities will be non zero

At the position of (y-h/2) all the 3 quantities will be non zero.

The component of the external magnetic field along the central axis of a 78-turn circular coil of radius 34.0 cm decreases from
grigory [225]

Answer:

Induced current, I = 18.88 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 78

Radius of the circular coil, r = 34 cm = 0.34 m

Magnetic field changes from 2.4 T to 0.4 T in 2 s.

Resistance of the coil, R = 1.5 ohms

We need to find the magnitude of the induced current in the coil. The induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=-N\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Where

\dfrac{d\phi}{dt} is the rate of change of magnetic flux,

And \phi=BA

\epsilon=-NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

\epsilon=-78\times \pi (0.34)^2\dfrac{(0.4-2.4)}{2}

\epsilon=28.32\ V

Using Ohm's law, \epsilon=I\times R

Induced current, I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}

I=\dfrac{28.32}{1.5}

I = 18.88 A

So, the magnitude of the induced current in the coil is 18.88 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

The x vector component of a displacement vector has a magnitude of 86.2 m and points along the negative x axis. The y vector com
Flauer [41]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m

(b) Direction = 65.48°

Explanation:

(a)

The formula to find out the magnitude of a resultant vector with the help of its x and y components is given as follows:

Magnitude\ of\ Vector = \sqrt{d_{x}^{2} + d_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{(86.2\ m)^{2} + (189\ m)^{2}}\\\\

<u>Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m</u>

(b)

For the direction of the vector we have the formula:

Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})\\\\Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{189\ m}{86.2\ m})\\\\

<u>Direction = 65.48°</u>
