Spin cycles of washing machines remove water from clothes by producing a large radial acceleration at the rim of the cylindrical

tub that holds the water and clothes. Suppose that the diameter of the tub in a typical home washing machine is 50 cm.
1.What is the rotation rate, in rev/min, of the tub during the spin cycle if the radial acceleration of points on the tub wall is 3g?
2.At this rotation rate, what is the tangential speed in m/s of a point on the tub wall?

Given Information:

Diameter of the cylindrical tub = d = 50 cm = 0.50 m  

Acceleration = α = 3g

Required Information:

1. Rotation rate in rev/min = ω = ?

2. Tangential speed in m/s = v = ?

Answer:

1. ω = 103.5 rev/min

2. v = 2.71 m/s

Explanation:

We know that centripetal acceleration is given by

α = ω²r

Where ω is the angular speed or rotation rate and r is the radius.

The relation between diameter and radius is given by

r = D/2

r = 0.50/2

r = 0.25 m

Since it is given that the acceleration is equal to 3g where g is the gravitational acceleration 9.81 m/s².

α = ω²r

3g = ω²r

ω² = 3g/r

ω = √(3g/r)

ω = √(3*9.81/0.25)

ω = 10.84 rad/s

To convert rad/s into rev/s divide it by 2π

ω = 10.84/2π

ω = 1.752 rev/s

To convert rev/s into rev/min multiple it by 60

ω = 1.752*60

ω = 103.5 rev/min

Therefore, the rotation rate is 103.5 rev/min

2. The tangential speed can be found using

v = ωr

Where ω is the rotation rate in rad/s and r is the radius.

v = 10.84*0.25

v = 2.71 m/s

Therefore, the tangential speed is 2.71 m/s

Johnny walked to the other side of his building using the following steps: 10 meters North, 20 meters to the West, 40 meters Sou
nataly862011 [7]

<u>Answer: </u>

  Distance traveled = 70 meters

  Displacement = 36.06 meters

<u>Explanation: </u>

 Let north be positive Y and east be positive X

 10 meters north, displacement = 10 j meters

 20 meters west, displacement = -20 i meters

 40 meters south, displacement = -40 j meters

 Total displacement = (10 j - 20 i – 40 j) meters = (- 20 i - 30 j) meters

 Magnitude of displacement = \sqrt{20^2+30^2}=\sqrt{1300}= 36.06 meters

 Distance traveled = 10+20+40 = 70 meters

A stone is dropped from a cliff and falls 9.44 meters. What is the speed of the stone when it reaches the ground?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,                                              

height of the drop of stone = 9.44 m

speed of the stone = ?                          

As the stone is dropped the energy of the stone will be conserved.

using conservation of energy.            

Potential energy = Kinetic energy    

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2} m v^2  

     v = \sqrt{2gh}                  

     v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 9.44}

     v = \sqrt{185.024}              

            v = 13.60 m/s                      

Hence, the correct answer is option A

When monochromatic light shines perpendicularly on a soap film (n = 1.33) with air on each side, the second smallest nonzero fil
Anika [276]

Let us start from considering monochromatic light as an incidence on the film of a thickness t whose material has an index of refraction n determined by their respective properties.

From this point of view part of the light will be reflated and the other will be transmitted to the thin film. That additional distance traveled by the ray that was reflected from the bottom will be twice the thickness of the thin film at the point where the light strikes. Therefore, this relation of phase differences and additional distance can be expressed mathematically as

2t + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_{film} = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda_{film}

We are given the second smallest nonzero thickness at which destructive interference occurs.

This corresponds to, m = 2, therefore

2t = 2\lambda_{film}

t = \lambda_{film}

The index of refraction of soap is given, then

\lambda_{film} = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Combining the results of all steps we get

t = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Rearranging, we find

\lambda_{vacuum} = tn

\lambda_{vacuum} = (278)(1.33)

\lambda_{vacuum} = 369.74nm
