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

A drag racer starts her car from rest and accelerates at 5.5 m/s2 for the entire distance of 523 m. How long did it take the car
ANEK [815]

Answer:

t = 13.7 s or t = 14 s with proper significant figures

Explanation:

The initial speed is 0 m/s since the car starts from rest, acceleration is 5.5 m/s2 and distance is 523 m.

Since we have initial speed, acceleration and distance we can use the following formula to find the time. We can now use algebra to work out our answer.

d = vt + \frac{1}{2}at²

523 = (0)t + (\frac{1}{2})(5.5)t²

523 = 2.8t²

186.8 = t²

13.7 s = t

(t = 14 s with proper significant figures)

During lightning strikes from a cloud to the ground, currents as high as 2.50×10^4 Amps can occur and last for about 40.0 micros
dangina [55]

Answer:

1 C

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current is defined as

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge transferred

t is the time interval during which the charge is transferred

For the lightning in this problem, we have

I=2.50\cdot 10^4 A is the current

t=40.0 \mu s = 40.0\cdot 10^{-6} s is the time interval

Solving the formula for q, we find the amount of charge transferred:

q=I t = (2.50\cdot 10^4 A)(40.0\cdot 10^{-6}s)=1 C

A car drives around a curve with radius 400 m at a speed of 32 m/s. The road is banked at 7.0 degree. The mass of the car is 150
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the centripetal force to make the turn is 3,840 N.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the cured road, r = 400 m

speed of the car, v = 32 m/s

mass of the car, m = 1500 kg

The magnitude of the centripetal force to make the turn is given as;

F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}

where;

Fc is the centripetal force

F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\F_c = \frac{(1500)(32)^2}{400}\\\\F_c = 3,840 \ N

Therefore, the magnitude of the centripetal force to make the turn is 3,840 N.
