Centripetal acceleration, same as the linear acceleration, is the rate of change of velocity but in this case the tangential velocity. The direction of this acceleration is always directed inward the motion. Centripetal acceleration is calculated from the ratio of the square of the velocity and the radius. We calculate as follows:

centripetal acceleration = v^2 / r
centripetal acceleration = ( 6 m/s )^2 / 2 m
centripetal acceleration = 18 m/s^2

Answer:

a_c = 18 m/s^2

Explanation:

As we know that the centripetal acceleration is defined as the ratio of square of the speed and the radius of the circle

so it is given as

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

here we know that

speed of the rock moving in horizontal circle is given as

v = 6 m/s

also we know the radius of circle is

R = 2 m

now we have

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

a_c = \frac{6^2}{2}

a_c = 18 m/s^2

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

-30°C

Explanation:

F-32/180 =C-0/100

or, -22-32/180=C/100

or, -54/180*100=C

or, -0.3*100=C

therefore, C= -30

-22°F = -30°C

Ten high-technology batteries are tested for 200 hours each. One failed at 20 hours; another failed at 140 hours; all others com
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Failure rate   = 20%

MTBF = 880 hours

Explanation:

given data

batteries = 10

tested = 200 hours

one failed = 20 hours

another fail at =  140 hours

solution

we know that Mean Time between Failures is express as = (Total up time) ÷  (number of breakdowns)    ....................1

so here Total up time will be

Total up time = 200 × 10

Total up time = 2000

and here

Number of breakdown = 1 at 20 hour and another at 140 hour = 2

so it will be  = (Total up time) ÷ (number of breakdowns)      .......2

=  \frac{2000}{2}   =  1000  

so here gap between occurrences is

gap between occurrences=  140 - 20

gap between occurrences = 120 hour

and

MTBF  will be

MTBF = 1000 - 120

MTBF = 880 hours  

and

Failure rate (FR)  will be

Failure rate (FR) =  1 ÷ MTBF    ................3

Failure rate (FR) = R÷T     ......................4

as here R is the number of failures and T is total time

so Failure rate (FR)  = 20%

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V

Now,

Drift velocity, v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}

v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta                            (1)

And

E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d

Thus eqn (1) becomes

V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta

where

d = distance

B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}                      (2)

(a) When \theta = 90^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T

(b) When \theta = 60^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T
