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 box rests on top of a flat bed truck. The box has a mass of m = 16.0 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the box an
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1) 1.31 m/s2

2) 20.92 N

3) 8.53 m/s2

4) 1.76 m/s2

5) -8.53 m/s2

Explanation:

1) As the box does not slide, the acceleration of the box (relative to ground) is the same as acceleration of the truck, which goes from 0 to 17m/s in 13 s

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{17 - 0}{13} = 1.31 m/s2

2)According to Newton 2nd law, the static frictional force that acting on the box (so it goes along with the truck), is the product of its mass and acceleration

F_s = am = 1.31*16 = 20.92 N

3) Let g = 9.81 m/s2. The maximum static friction that can hold the box is the product of its static coefficient and the normal force.

F_{\mu_s} = \mu_sN = mg\mu_s = 16*9.81*0.87 = 136.6N

So the maximum acceleration on the block is

a_{max} = F_{\mu_s} / m = 136.6 / 16 = 8.53 m/s^2

4)As the box slides, it is now subjected to kinetic friction, which is

F_{\mu_s} = mg\mu_k = 16*9.81*0.69 = 108.3 N

So if the acceleration of the truck it at the point where the box starts to slide, the force that acting on it must be at 136.6 N too. So the horizontal net force would be 136.6 - 108.3 = 28.25N. And the acceleration is

28.25 / 16 = 1.76 m/s2

5) Same as number 3), the maximum deceleration the truck can have without the box sliding is -8.53 m/s2

Determine tge energy in joules of a photon whose frequency is 3.55x10
JulijaS [17]
E = hf
E = 6.63×10^-34 × 3.55×10 eV
1 eV = 1.60×10^-19 J
E = 6.63×10^-34 × 3.55×10 × 1.60×10^-19
E = 3.77×10^-51 J
