A race car makes one lap around a track of radius 50 m in 9.0 s. What is the average velocity? *

1 answer:

8 0

With velocity, you have to be careful. With velocity, it doesn't matter how much total distance you covered while you were moving. All that matters is the straight-line distance between the place you started from and the place where you stopped.

If you ended in the same place where you started from, then it doesn't matter whether you drove around town all day and then came home, or ran around laps on a circular track, or zig-zagged back and forth a hundred times. The straight distance from your start-point to your end-point is zero. So technically, according to the defintion of velocity, it was <em>ZERO</em>.

A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.0 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and

Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$N_1=1 rev/s$

angular velocity $\omega =2\pi N_1=6.284 rad/s$

Combined moment of inertia of stool,student and bricks $=6\ kg.m^2$

Now student pull off his hands so as to increase its speed to suppose $N_2$ rev/s

$\omega _2=2\pi N_2$

After Pulling off hands so final moment of inertia is

$I_2=2\ kg-m^2$

Conserving angular momentum as no external torque is applied

$I_1\omega _1=I_2\omega _2$

$6\times 6.284=2\times \omega _2$

$\omega _2=18.85\ rad/s$

$N_2=3 rev/s$

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.

What is the relationship between power and voltage

FrozenT [24]

Answer

Voltage is how fast the electrons flow. Power is a use of voltage times the volumes of electrons. The higher the voltage the more power you have with the same current.

Rami uses a disposable camera that has a flash. When he wants to take a picture, he holds a button and hears a rising whining so

ivann1987 [24]

<span>It stores energy and delivers it in a short burst.

The whirring sound is produced by the charging of the capacitor. A capacitor is an electrical component which is capable of storing charge. When the capacitor stores charge, it is storing energy. After doing so, the capacitor releases the electrical energy that it had stored as light energy, which is seen as the flash of the camera. It must do so in a burst, because the intensity of the flash is very high and would require a high amount of energy to maintain.
