Over a time interval of 1.99 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +20.7 km/

s to -22.0 km/s. Find (a) the total change in the planet's velocity (in m/s) and (b) its average acceleration (in m/s2) during this interval. Include the correct algebraic sign with your answers to convey the directions of the velocity and the acceleration.

Answer:

(a) - 42700 m/s

(b) - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial velocity of star, u = 20.7 km/s

Final velocity of star, v = - 22 km/s

time, t = 1.99 years

Convert velocities into m/s and time into second

So, u = 20700 m / s

v = - 22000 m/s

t = 1.99 x 365.25 x 24 x 3600 = 62799624 second

(a) Change in planet's velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

  = - 22000 - 20700 = - 42700 m/s

(b) Accelerate is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

                     = ( - 42700 ) / (62799624) = - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

A circular cylinder has a diameter of 3.0 cm and a mass of 25 g. It floats in water with its long axis perpendicular to the wate
Vilka [71]

Answer:

   f = 5.3 Hz

Explanation:

To solve this problem, let's find the equation that describes the process, using Newton's second law

        ∑ F = ma

where the acceleration is

         a = \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2 }

        B- W = m \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2 }

To solve this problem we create a change in the reference system, we place the zero at the equilibrium point

           B = W

In this frame of reference, the variable y'  when it is oscillating is positive and negative, therefore Newton's equation remains

         B’= m \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2 }

           

the thrust is given by the Archimedes relation

         B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

     

the volume is

        V = π r² y'

     

we substitute

          - ρ_liquid g π r² y’ = m \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2 }

          \frac{d^2 y'}{dt^2} + \rho_liquid \ g \ \pi  r^2/m ) y' \ =0

this differential equation has a solution of type

         y = A cos (wt + Ф)

where

         w² = ρ_liquid g π r² /m

angular velocity and frequency are related

         w = 2π f

         

we substitute

          4π² f² = ρ_liquid g π r² / m

          f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \ \sqrt{ \frac{ \rho_{liquid} \  \pi  r^2 \ g}{m } }

calculate

         f = \frac{1}{2 \pi }  \sqrt{ \frac{ 1000 \ \pi  \ 0.03^2 \ 9.8 }{0.025}  }

         f = 5.3 Hz

Which of the following would most likely utilize a particulate control device?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Correct answer: D). All of the above The particulate control device is a device that is used for the separation of the material that is of a bigger size as compared to filter. In the factory smokestack, the particulate control device filters the particulate matter that is known to cause air pollution. In the vacuum cleaner, a fine dust particle is filtered out. In the laundry dryer, the water and dirt molecule is allowed to pass through it. Hence, all the options are correct.so therefore your answer would be all
