A fl oor 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 45 s, in order to buff an especially scuff ed area of the fl oor. How far (in meters) does a spot on the outer edge of the disk move during this time?

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

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

A spring with spring constant 15 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is
olga nikolaevna [1]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 15 N/m

Amplitude of the oscillation, A = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

Number of oscillations, N = 31

Time, t = 15 s

(a) Let m is the mass of the ball. The frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

Total number of oscillation per unit time is called frequency of oscillation. Here, f=\dfrac{31}{15}=2.06\ Hz

m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}

m=\dfrac{15}{4\pi^2\times 2.06^2}

m = 0.0895 kg

or

m = 89 g

(b) The maximum speed of the ball that is given by :

v_{max}=A\times \omega

v_{max}=A\times 2\pi f

v_{max}=0.075\times 2\pi \times 2.06

v_{max}=0.970\ m/s

v_{max}=97\ cm/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
