Answer:

The diameter is 0.000056 m

Explanation:

Lets explain the relation between the meter and the micrometer

1 Meter is equal to 1000000 (one million) micrometers

1 micrometer = $\frac{1}{1000000}=\frac{1}{10^{6}}=10^{-6}$

The symbol of the meter is m

The symbol of micrometer is μm

A human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter

We need to express this diameter in meter

To do that we divide this number by 1,000,000 or multiply it by $10^{-6}$

→ $\frac{56}{1000000}=0.000056$ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

→ OR

→ $56*10^{-6}=0.000056$

→ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

<em>The diameter is 0.000056 m</em>

A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.55 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of minute hand = 0.55 m

Length of hour hand = 0.26 m

The time taken by the minute hand to complete one revelation is

$T= 3600\ sec$

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{3600}$

$\omega=0.001745\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock

Using formula of acceleration

$a=r\omega^2$

Put the value into the formula

$a=0.55\times(0.001745)^2$

$a=1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$

Hence, The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .

inessss [21]

Answer:

The average angular acceleration is $\alpha =125.487 rad /s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the bat is $l = 0.85m$ \

The initial linear velocity is $u = 0 m/s$

The time is $t = 0.15s$

The velocity at t is $v = 16 m/s$

Generally average angular acceleration is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = \frac{w_f - w_o}{t}$

Where $w_f$ is the finial angular velocity which is mathematically evaluated as

$w_f = \frac{v}{l}$

$w_f = \frac{16}{0.85}$

$= 18.823 rad/s$

and $w_o$ is the initial angular velocity which is zero since initial linear velocity is zero

$\alpha = \frac{18.823 - 0}{0.15}$

$\alpha =125.487 rad /s^2$
