Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning)

change in speed = (zero) minus (28 m/s) = -28 m/s

Acceleration = (-28 m/s) / (13 sec)

Acceleration = -2.15 m/s²

A disk is uniformly accelerated from rest with angular acceleration α. The magnitude of the linear acceleration of a point on th

solniwko [45]

Answer:

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disc is in two directions

1) tangential acceleration which is given as

$a_t = R\alpha$

2) Centripetal acceleration

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

here we know that

$\omega = \alpha t$

$a_c = (\alpha t)^2 R$

now we know that net linear acceleration is given as

$a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2}$

so we have

$a = \sqrt{R^2\alpha^2 + R^2(\alpha t)^4}$

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

How do i find stretch? The problem in questioning has already given me the elastic energy and k-value, but I have no idea how to

finlep [7]

Answer:

Stretch can be obtained using the Elastic potential energy formula.

The expression to find the stretch (x) is $x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Explanation:

Given:

Elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring mass system and the spring constant (k) are given.

To find: Elongation in the spring (x).

We can find the elongation or stretch of the spring using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).

The formula to find EPE is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Rewriting the above expression in terms of 'x', we get:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}$

Example:

If EPE = 100 J and spring constant, k = 2 N/m.

Elongation or stretch is given as:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 100}{2}}\\\\x=\sqrt{100}=10\ m$

Therefore, the stretch in the spring is 10 m.

So, stretch in the spring can be calculated using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy.

<span> gravitational force varies based on 1/r^2
when you're double the distance =10,000 to 20,000, the force is 4 times smaller so on and so forth.
</span><span>As force is proportional to 1 / {distance squared}, the force will be 1 / 2^2 (i.e. 1/4) of the force at the reference distance (i.e. 1/4 * 600 = 150 lb)
