A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m

Why is earth the only planet on which water exists in a liquid state
Gennadij [26K]
This is due to earths location in the solar system. Earth is in the habitat zone or the Goldie locks zone, in this zone it's not too hot or not too cold for water to exist. Other planets in different star systems have liquid oceans due to them being in the habitat zone.

Plane a travels at 900km/h and plane b travels at 250/5.which plane travels faster
vesna_86 [32]

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of plane a is 900 km/h

Plane b is moving at a rate of \dfrac{250\ km}{5\ h}=50\ km/h

It is required to find which plane is faster. To find which plane is faster, we need to compare their speeds.

Speed of a plane a is 900 km/h and that of plane b is 50 km/h. So, we can say that plane a is moving faster.
