If the vertical component is 29.6 m/s down, and the horizontal component
is 54.8 m/s parallel to the surface, then the magnitude of the slanty vector is

   √(29.6² + 54.8²) = √(876.16 + 3003.04) = √3879.2  =  62.28 m/s .

That's 139 mph !  Wow !

A CD spins at a constant angular velocity of 5.0 revolutions per second clockwise.
Lera25 [3.4K]

The true statement about the CD is:

<h3><em>b. No net torque acts on it at all.</em></h3>

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Centripetal Acceleration can be formulated as follows:

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{ v^2 } { R } }

<em>a = Centripetal Acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = Tangential Speed of Particle ( m/s )</em>

<em>R = Radius of Circular Motion ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

Centripetal Force can be formulated as follows:

\large {\boxed {F = m \frac{ v^2 } { R } }

<em>F = Centripetal Force ( m/s² )</em>

<em>m = mass of Particle ( kg )</em>

<em>v = Tangential Speed of Particle ( m/s )</em>

<em>R = Radius of Circular Motion ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

<em>Complete Question:</em>

<em>A CD spins at a constant angular velocity of 5.0 revolutions per second clockwise. Which of the following statements about the CD is true?</em>

<em>a. A net torque acts on it clockwise to keep it moving</em>

<em>b. No net torque acts on it at all.</em>

<em>c. A net torque acts on it counterclockwise to keep it moving</em>

<u>Given:</u>

angular velocity = ω = 5.0 revolutions per second

<u>Asked:</u>

net torque = Στ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

Constant angular velocity → angular acceleration = α = 0 rad/s²

\Sigma \tau = I \alpha

\Sigma \tau = I (0)

\Sigma \tau = 0 \texttt{ Nm}

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

The true statement about the CD is:

<em>b. No net torque acts on it at all.</em>

Describe, using the relevant physics, how moving a magnet near a [ 1 2 ] solenoid induces a voltage across it. How does the spee
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moving a magnet might cause a change in the magnetic field going through the solenoid. Whether or not it will change depends on the movement.

According to Faraday's law of induction a voltage is induced in a coil by a change in the magnetic flux. Magnetic flux is defined as the dot product of the magnetic field (a vector field) by the area enclosed by a loop of the coil.

\Phi B = -\int{B} \, dA

The voltage is induced by the variation of the magnetic flux:

\epsilon = -N * \frac{d \Phi B}{dt}

Where

ε: electromotive fore

N: number of turns in the coil

ΦB: magnetic flux

Moving the magnet faster would increase the rare of change of the magnetic flux, resulting in higher induced voltage.

Turning the magnet upside down would invert the direction of the magnetic field, reversing the voltage induced.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

v = f\lambda

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz

Therefore,

v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\

<u>v = 1.2 m/s</u>

SashulF [63]

Answer: Technician B

Explanation: In manual cars,the clutch safety is designed to stop the vehicle from moving when you start the gnition. It prevents power from flowing into the circuit . This is found in the pedal mechanism of cars so depressing the clutch pedal will likely cause a defective in the clutch safety. You will begin to perceive the clutch burning and white fumes coming out from the pedal.
