The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular velocity of 150 rev/min. When steam is shut off, the friction of the

bearings and of the air stops the wheel in 2.2 h. (a) What is the constant angular acceleration, in revolutions per minute-squared, of the wheel during the slowdown? (b) How many revolutions does the wheel make before stopping? (c) At the instant the flywheel is turning at 75 rev/min, what is the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a flywheel particle that is 50 cm from the axis of rotation? (d)What is the magnitude of the net linear acceleration of the particle in (c)?

Answer:

a) -1.14 rev/min²

b) 9900 rev

c) -9.92×10⁻⁴ m/s²

d) 30.8 m/s²

Explanation:

First, convert hours to minutes:

2.2 h × 60 min/h = 132 min

a) Angular acceleration is change in angular velocity over change in time.

α = (ω − ω₀) / t

α = (0 rev/min − 150 rev/min) / 132 min

α = -1.14 rev/min²

b) θ = θ₀ + ω₀ t + ½ αt²

θ = 0 rev + (150 rev/min) (132 min) + ½ (-1.14 rev/min²) (132 min)²

θ = 9900 rev

c) The tangential component of linear acceleration is:

a_t = αr

First,  convert α from rev/min² to rad/s²:

-1.14 rev/min² × (2π rad/rev) × (1 min / 60 s)² = -1.98×10⁻³ rad/s²

Therefore:

a_t = (-1.98×10⁻³ rad/s²) (0.50 m)

a_t = -9.92×10⁻⁴ m/s²

d) The magnitude of the net linear acceleration can be found from the tangential component and the radial component:

a² = (a_t)² + (a_r)²

The radial component is the centripetal acceleration:

a_r = v² / r

a_r = ω² r

First, convert 75 rev/min to rad/s:

75 rev/min × (2π rad/rev) × (1 min / 60 s) = 7.85 rad/s

Find the radial component:

a_r = (7.85 rad/s)² (0.50 m)

a_r = 30.8 m/s²

Now find the net linear acceleration:

a² = (-9.92×10⁻⁴ m/s²² + (30.8 m/s²)²

a = 30.8 m/s²

Because of interstellar dust, astronomers can see at most about 5 kpc into the disk of the galaxy at visual wavelengths. What pe
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

96%

Explanation

Let A the total area of the galaxy, is modeled as a disc:

A = πR^2 = π (25 kpc)^2

And let a be the area that astronomers are able to see:

a = πr^2 = π(5 kpc)^2

The percentage that can be seen is equal to 100 times the ratio of the areas, of the galaxy and the "visible" part:

P = 100 a/A = (5/25)^2 = 100/25 = 4%

Therefore, the percentage of the galaxy not included, i.e. not seen is:

(100-4)% = 96%

An unbalanced force of 500 N is applied to a 75 kg object. What is the acceleration of the object?
NemiM [27]

1. Define Newtons second law of motion (this will help put things into perspective)

2.Get the mass of the object (in this case 75 kg)

3.The net force acting on the object...find it (in this case 500 N)

4.Change the equation to F=ma (500=75a)

5.Divide both sides by 75 and that is the acceleration.

The __________-second rule applies to any speed in ideal weather and road conditions.
SOVA2 [1]
The two-second rule.

It is a common guideline to follow while driving.

It means that any given driver should be AT LEAST two seconds behind any vehicle that is driving in front of his vehicle. It might apply for any kind of vehicle.
