E mass number of any given atom depends solely on the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of any atom can be determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons. (Mathematically this is stated as Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons). For instance, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons will have a mass number of 12AMU. However, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 Neutrons will have a mass number of 14AMU. They are both Carbon atoms, however they each have a different mass number. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore, different mass numbers, are called isotopes. Isotopic symbols are used to indicate isotopes of the same elements. In the following isotopic symbols the lower number is the atomic number…it is the number of protons. The upper number is the mass number, it represents to sum of the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus.

An 18-cm-long bicycle crank arm, with a pedal at one end, is attached to a 20-cm-diameter sprocket, the toothed disk around whic

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Part a)

$a = 0.056 m/s^2$

Part b)

$L = 7.85 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

Angular speed of the pedal is changing from 60 rpm to 90 rpm in 10 s

so the angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_2 - \omega_1}{\Delta t}$

so we will have

$\alpha = \frac{2\pi(\frac{90}{60}) - 2\pi(\frac{60}{60})}{10}$

$\alpha = 0.314 rad/s^2$

now the tangential acceleration of the pedal is given as

$a = r \alpha$

$a = 0.18 \times 0.314$

$a = 0.056 m/s^2$

Part b)

Total angular displacement made by the sprocket in the interval of 10 s is given as

$\theta = \frac{\omega_f + \omega_i}{2} t$

$\theta = \frac{2\pi (\frac{90}{60}) + 2\pi (\frac{60}{60})}{2}(10)$

$\theta = 78.5 radian$

now length of the chain passing over it is given as

$L = R\theta$

$L = 0.10 \times 78.5$

$L = 7.85 m$

A cricketer moves his hands backwards when holding a catch

lisov135 [29]

By doing this he increases the time due to which the rate of change momnetemdecreases. that means the ball comes to rest gently and does not hurt the fielder. but, if does not move his hand backwards, then the ball would come to rest in a fraction of second with a high rate of change of momentum. the ball will exert a lot of force on the hands of the fielder which will hurt him.
