1 answer:

5 0

If a boat motor catches fire, you should immediately shut off the fuel supply, and try to put out the fire with an extinguisher. It is very important to have fully charged fire extinguishers on hand. As soon as you notice the fire activate the extinguisher and do not panic. In order to prevent fire remember to c<span>lean the bilges often and maintain proper gear stowage, make sure short-tie cables are properly connected...</span>

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Part a) $\frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Part b) $\frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}$

Explanation:

Part a) what is its frequency, in rev/s

we have that

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM

$33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{33*3+1}{3}=\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}$

Remember that

$1\ min=60\ sec$

Convert rev/min to rev/sec

$\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{100}{3}(\frac{1}{60})=\frac{100}{180}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Simplify

$\frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Part b) what is it period, in seconds

we know that

The period is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore

the frequency is

$\frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}$

A massive block is being pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a constant horizontal force. The block must be ______

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The body must be moving with a constant non zero acceleration.

Explanation:

Force produces acceleration on any mass it is applied on. The acceleration produced depends on the magnitude and direction of the force. For this block being dragged by a constant horizontal force, The body will undergo a constant non-zero acceleration that will steadily increase its velocity along the direction of the force.

A particle moves along the x axis so that its velocity at time t is given by v(t)=

vodomira [7]

Answer:

a = 0.7267 , acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing

Explanation:

The definition of acceleration is

a = dv / dt

they give us the function of speed

v = - (t-1) sin (t² / 2)

a = - sin (t²/2) - (t-1) cos (t²/2) 2t / 2

a = - sin (t²/2) - t (t-1) cos (t²/2)

the acceleration for t = 4 s

a = - sin (4²/2) - 4 (4-1) cos (4²/2)

a = -sin 8 - 12 cos 8

remember that the angles are in radians

a = 0.7267

the problem does not indicate the units, but to be correct they must be m/s²

We see that the acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing
