A turntable A is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. It is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk B starts

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction, μₛ, between the trunk and turntable = 0.32

Explanation:

For this motion of the trunk B,

Initial velocity, v₀ = 0

Tangential Acceleration, a = 0.28 m/s²

Time taken, t = 10s

Using equations of motion,

v = v₀ + at

v = 0 + 0.28 × 10 = 2.8 m/s

Frictional force, Fᵣ = μₛN

μₛ = coefficient of static friction,

N = Normal reaction exerted on the trunk B as a result of its weight = mg

Doing a force balance on the trunk B,

Force keeping the trunk B in circular motion must balance the frictional forces.

Force keeping the trunk B in circular motion, F = mv²/r

Fᵣ = F

μₛN = mv²/r but N = mg

μₛmg = mv²/r

μₛg = v²/r

μₛ = v²/gr

μₛ = 2.8²/(9.8 × 2.5) = 0.32

Hope this helps!!!

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 7 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power gen

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given;

The velocity of the wind blow V = 7 m/s

The diameter of the blades (d) = 80 m

Percentage of the overall efficiency $\eta_{overall} = 30\%$

The density of air $\rho = 1.25 kg/km^3$

Then, we can use the concept of the kinetic energy of the wind blowing to estimate the mechanic energy of air per unit mass by using the formula:

$e_{mechanic} = \dfrac{mV^2}{2}$

here;

m = $\rho AV$

= $1.25 \times \dfrac{\pi}{4}(80)^2 \times 7$

= 43982.29 kg/s

∴

$W = e_{mechanic} = \dfrac{mV^2}{2}$

$= \dfrac{43982.29 \times 7^2}{2}$

$= 1077566.105 \ W$

$\mathbf{ =1077.566 \ kW}$

The actual electric power is:

$W_{electric} = \eta_{overall} \times W$

$W_{electric} = 0.3 \times 1077.566$

$\mathbf{W_{electric} =323.26 \ kW}$

Discuss the difference between the observed and calculated values. Is this error? If yes, what is the source?

Scrat [10]

Answer and Explanation:

In any experiment, the observed values are the actual values obtained in any experiment.

The calculated values are the values that are measured by using the observed values in a formula.

The observed values are primary values whereas the calculated values are the secondary values as calaculations are made using observed values.

Yes, if the observed values are of low accuracy.

The values should be recorded with proper care and attention in order to avoid any error.

How many electrons move past a fixed reference point every t = 2.55 ps if the current is i = 7.3 μA ? Express your answer as an

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

116.3 electrons

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Time, t = 2.55 ps = 2.55 × 10⁻¹² s

Current, i = 7.3 μA = 7.3 × 10⁻⁶ A

Now,

we know,

Charge, Q = it

thus,

Q = (7.3 × 10⁻⁶) × (2.55 × 10⁻¹²)

Q = 18.615 × 10⁻¹⁸ C

Also,

We know

Charge of 1 electron, q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

Number of electrons past a fixed point = Q ÷ q

= [ 18.615 × 10⁻¹⁸ ] ÷ [ 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ ]

= 116.3 electrons
