Answer:

- 210 rad/s²

Explanation:

n = frequency of rotation = 3400/60 = 170/3 per sec.

angular velocity  ω ( 0 ) at time 0  = 2π n = 2π x 170/3

angular velocity at time t = ω(t) = 0

now, ω²( t) = w²(o) + 2α Φ ( α = angular acceleration and Φ = angular displacement) = 2π x 48 rad.

0 = ( 2π x 170/3 )² + 2α x 48 x 2π

α = - (2π x 170 x 170 )/ (3 x 3 x 2 x 48 ) = 210 rad / s²

Suppose earth's mass increased but earth's diameter didn't change. Describe how the gravitational force between Earth and the ob
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

It increases proportionally

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the Earth and an object on its surface is given by

F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the Earth's radius

In this problem, the Earth's mass is increased, while the diameter (and therefore, the radius) doesn't change. From the equation, we see that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the Earth's mass: therefore, if the mass is increased, the force will increase as well by the same proportion (for example, if the mass is doubled, the force will double as well)

Two identical mandolin strings under 200 N of tension are sounding tones with frequencies of 590 Hz. The peg of one string slips
Slav-nsk [51]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency and vibration of strings. Mathematically the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Then the relation between two different frequencies with same wavelength would be

\frac{f'}{f} = \frac{v'/\wavelength}{v/\wavelength}

\frac{f'}{f} = \frac{v'}{v}

The beat frequency heard when the two strings are sounded simultaneously is

f_{beat} = f-f'

f_{beat} = f(1-\frac{f'}{f})

f_{beat} = f(1-\frac{v'}{v})

We have the velocity of the transverse waves in stretched string as

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{200N}{\mu}}

And,

v' = \sqrt{\frac{196N}{\mu}}

Therefore the relation between the two is,

\frac{v'}{v} = \sqrt{\frac{192}{200}}

\frac{v'}{v} = \sqrt{0.96}

Finally substituting this value at the frequency beat equation we have

f_{beat} = 590(1-\sqrt{0-96})

f_{beat} = 11.92Hz

Therefore the beats per second are 11.92Hz

20 cm long 10 cm wide and 5 cm thick as a mass of 500 g determine the greatest pressure that can be exerted by block on the flat
uysha [10]

100000 Pascal

Explanation:

pressure= force/area

Max pressure= force/min area

so f=5

min area= 5×10^-5

5÷5*10^-5 = 100000pascal
