A high-speed flywheel in a motor is spinning at 450 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and

alexira [117]

Answer:

A) $\omega_f=17.503\ rad.s^{-1}$

B) $t=55.6822\ s$

C) $\theta=1312\ rad$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of flywheel, $m=40\ kg$

diameter of flywheel, $d=0.72\ m$

rotational speed of flywheel, $N_i=450\ rpm \Rightarrow \omega_i=\frac{450\times 2\pi}{60} =15\pi\ rad.s^{-1}$

duration for which the power is off, $t_0=35\ s$

no. of revolutions made during the power is off, $\theta=180\times 2\pi=360\pi\ rad$

<u>Using equation of motion:</u>

$\theta=\omega_i.t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha.t^2$

$360\pi=15\pi\times 35+\frac{1}{2} \times \alpha\times35^2$

$\alpha=-0.8463\ rad.s^{-2}$

Negative sign denotes deceleration.

Now using the equation:

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha.t$

$\omega_f=15\pi-0.8463\times 35$

$\omega_f=17.503\ rad.s^{-1}$ is the angular velocity of the flywheel when the power comes back.

Here:

$\omega_f=0\ rad.s^{-1}$

Now using the equation:

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha.t$

$0=15\pi-0.8463\times t$

$t=55.6822\ s$ is the time after which the flywheel stops.

Using the equation of motion:

$\theta=\omega_i.t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha.t^2$

$\theta=15\pi\times 55.68225-0.5\times 0.8463\times 55.68225^2$

$\theta=1312\ rad$ revolutions are made before stopping.

A block is attached to a horizontal spring. On top of this block rests another block. The two-block system slides back and forth

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Angular frequency will increase

No change in the amplitude

Explanation:

At extreme end of the SHM the energy of the SHM is given by

$E = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2)\omega^2 A^2$

here we know that

$\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m_1 + m_2}$

now at the extreme end when one of the mass is removed from it

then in that case the angular frequency will change

$\omega'^2 = \frac{k}{m_1}$

So angular frequency will increase

but the position of extreme end will not change as it is given here that the top block is removed without disturbing the lower block

so here no change in the amplitude

A water bottle is dropped from a plane and accelerates because of gravity. What distance did it fall during 3 seconds?

exis [7]

It’d fall 29.4m or 96.46ft

Explanation:
Uhh since gravity is 9.8m/s then in three seconds it’d drop 29.4m or 96.46ft
That is assuming there isn’t a lot of wind resistance, but if you take that into account, then it’d probably be somewhere around 25m since the water bottle is going to be heavier than the wind resistance, and since we don’t know the weight of the water bottle it can’t really be calculated.

Hope this helps!

If a girl is running along a straight road with a uniform velocity 1.5 m/s, find her

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The definition of acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time. If the girl's velocity is constant, that means it's not changing. Therefore, acceleration is 0 m/s/s

T = mg + ma solve for a

Gnoma [55]

You said T   = mg + ma

Subtract mg
from each side: T - mg =      ma

Divide each side by m : a = (T-mg) / m

      or a = T/m - g
