An electric fan is turned off, and its angular velocity decreases uniformly from 720 rev/min to 200 rev/min in a time interval o

f length 3.25
a.find the angular acceleration in rev/s
b.find the number of revolutions made by the motor in the time interval of length 3.25
c.how many more seconds are required for the fan to come to rest if the angular acceleration remains constant at the value calculated in part a?

(a) first, we need to convert the initial and final angular speed into rev/s. Keeping in mind that 1 min=60 s, we should divide the speeds by 60:
\omega_i = 720 rev/min = 12.0 rev/s
\omega_f = 200 rev/min = 3.3 rev/s

So, the angular acceleration is
\alpha =  \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\Delta t} = \frac{3.3 rev/s - 12.0 rev/s}{3.25 s}=-2.68 rev/s^2
where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

(b) The angle covered by the fan (in revolutions) is given by the following equation
\theta(t) = \omega_i t +  \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2
where t is the time and \alpha the angular acceleration we find at point (a). Substituting numbers, we get
\theta (3.25 s)=(12.0 rev/s)(3.25 s)+ \frac{1}{2} (-2.68 rev/s^2)(3.25 s)^2=24.85 rev

(c) In order for the fan to come to rest, its final angular speed must go to zero:
\omega(t)=0

The expression for the angular speed as a function of time is 
\omega(t) = \omega _i + \alpha t
By requiring this is equal to zero, we find the time t after which the fan comes to rest:
\omega_i + \alpha t = 0
t=- \frac{\omega_i}{\alpha}= -\frac{12.0 rev/s}{-2.68 rev/s^2} =4.48 s

a person was using a spanner to loosen a tight nut.Their mass was 50kg the spanner was 0.5m long i) what is the persons weight?
sineoko [7]

1) Weight of the person: 490 N

2) Maximum torque: 245 Nm

Explanation:

1)

The weight of a body is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the body; it is given by the equation

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the person in this problem,

m = 50 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface

Therefore, the weight of the person is

F=(50)(9.8)=490 N

2)

The turning force (also called torque) exerted by a force rotating an object is given by

\tau = Fd sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the length of the arm (the distance between the force and the pivotal point)

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the arm

For the spanner in this problem,

F = 490 N is the force applied (the weight of the person)

d = 0.5 m is the arm (the length of the spanner)

The maximum torque is obtained when \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore it is:

\tau=(490)(0.5)(sin 90^{\circ})=245 N\cdot m

An object of length 3.00 cm is inside a plastic block with index of refraction 1.40. If the object is viewed from directly above
Lilit [14]
  • The length of its image = -3cm

Given,

length of object, h_o = 3 cm

We know, for flat refracting surface,  

Image distance = object distance

So,

magnification is = -1

length of the image,

h_i = magnification * h_o\\\\h_i = -1 * 3 \\\\h_i = -3cm

Here, negative sign means inverted image.

A 1500 kg car is moving on a flat, horizontal flat road. If the radius of the curve is 35 m and
Troyanec [42]

The net force on the car is the friction that keeps it on the road, which points toward the center of the circle of the curve. Then by Newton's second law, we have

• net vertical force:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>N</em> - <em>W</em> = 0

• net horizontal force:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>Fs</em> = <em>m a</em>

where

<em>N</em> = magnitude of normal force

<em>W</em> = car's weight

<em>Fs</em> = mag. of static friction

<em>m</em> = car's mass

<em>a</em> = <em>v</em> ²/<em>R</em> = mag. of the centripetal acceleration

<em>v</em> = car's speed

<em>R</em> = radius of curve

Now,

• compute the car's weight:

<em>W</em> = <em>m g</em> = (1500 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 14,700 N

• solve for the mag. of the normal force:

<em>N</em> = 14,700 N

• solve for the mag. of the friction force, using the given friction coefficient:

<em>Fs</em> = 0.5 <em>N</em> = 7350 N

• solve for the (maximum) acceleration:

7350 <em>N</em> = (1500 kg) <em>a</em>   →   <em>a</em> = 4.9 m/s²

• solve for the (maximum) speed:

4.9 m/s² = <em>v</em> ²/ (35 m)   →   <em>v</em> ≈ 13 m/s

A ball rolls onto the path of your car as you drive down a quiet neighborhood street. to avoid hitting the child that runs to re
KengaRu [80]

Since the acceleration of car is uniform so the distance traveled by car while brakes are applied is given by

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}*t

given that

v_f = 9 m/s

v_i = 15 m/s

t = 1.20 s

now plug in all data in above formula

d = \frac{15 + 9}{2} * 1.2

d = 14.4 m

so car will cover 14.4 m distance while it apply brakes
