A contestants spin a wheel when it is their turn in a game show. One contestant gives the wheel an initial angular speed of 3.40

rad/s. It then rotates through one-and-one-quarter revolutions and comes to rest on the BANKRUPT space. How much time does it take for the wheel to come to rest?

Answer:

4.62 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial angular speed, $\omega=3.4 rad/s$

$\theta=1\frac{1}{4} rev=\frac{5}{4}\times 2\pi=2.5\pi rad$

$\omega'=0$

$\omega'^2-\omega^2=2\alpha \theta$

Substitute the values

$0-(3.4)^2=2\times 2.5\pi \alpha$

$\alpha=\frac{-(3.4)^2}{2\times 2.5\pi}=-0.736 rad/s^2$

$\omega'=\omega+\alpha t$

$0=3.4-0.736 t$

$-0.736t=-3.4$

$t=\frac{-3.4}{-0.736}=4.62 s$

Hence, the wheel takes 4.62 s to come to rest.

A merry-go-round is spinning at a rate of 4.04.0 revolutions per minute. Cora is sitting 0.50.5 m from the center of the merry-g

Answer:

angular speed of both the children will be same

Explanation:

Rate of revolution of the merry go round is given as

f = 4.04 rev/min

so here we have

$f = \frac{4.04}{60} =0.067 rev/s$

here we know that angular frequency is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(0.067)$

$\omega = 0.42 rad/s$

now this is the angular speed of the disc and this speed will remain same for all points lying on the disc

Angular speed do not depends on the distance from the center but it will be same for all positions of the disc

A 53 kg crate is at rest on a level floor, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.36. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

42.6 m

Explanation:

mass of crate m = 53 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.36

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Force, F = 372.098 N

Net force, f = F - friction force

f = 372.098 - μ m x g = 372.098 - 0.36 x 53 x 9.8

f = 185.114 N

acceleration, a = f / m = 185.114 / 53 = 3.49 m/s^2

initial velocity, u = 0

time, t = 4.94 s

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

s = 0 + 1/2 x 3.49 x 4.94 x 4.94

s = 42.6 m

A motorbike is travelling with a velocity of 3m/s. It accelerates at a rate of 9.3m/s for 1.8s. Calculate the distance it travel

Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

Consider the kinematic equation,

$x = vt + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$

where x is the distance traveled, v is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is time. By plugging in known values and solving for x,

$x = 3(1.8) + \frac{1}{2} (9.3) {1.8}^{2}$

through simple algebra we get

$x = 20.466$

where this is the distance traveled in meters.

If the mass of a

mixer [17]

Answer:

The final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration.

Explanation:

The second law of motion gives the relationship between the net force, mass and the acceleration of an object. It is given by :

$F=ma$

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to given condition, if the mass of a sliding block is tripled while a constant net force is applied. We need to find how much does the acceleration decrease.

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

Let a' is the final acceleration,

$a'=\dfrac{F}{m'}$

m' = 3m

$a'=\dfrac{F}{3m}$

$a'=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a'=\dfrac{1}{3}\times a$

So, the final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration. Hence, this is the required solution.
