A bug is on the rim of a 78 rev/min, 12 in. diameter record. The record moves from rest to its final angular speed in 2.67 s. Fi

nd the bug’s centripetal acceleration 1.5 s after the bug starts from rest. (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Answer:

6.41m/s2

Explanation:

unit conversion:

78 rev/min = 78rev/min * 2π rad/rev * 1/60 min/sec = 8.168 rad/s

12 in = 12 in * 2.54cm/in = 30.48 cm = 0.3048 m

So the record accelerate from rest to 8.168 rad/s, its (assuming constant) angular acceleration would be

$\alpha = \Delta \omega / t = (8.168 - 0) / 2.67 = 3.06 rad/s^2$

From here we can calculate the angular velocity of the bug at t2 = 1.5s

$\omega_2= \alpha*t_2 = 3.06 * 1.5 = 4.59 rad/s$

Its centripetal acceleration would then be

$a = \omega_2^2*R = 4.59^2*0.3048 = 6.41 m/s^2$

A cart of mass M = 2.40 kg can roll without friction on a level track. A light string draped over a light, frictionless pulley c

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Part a)

$a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}$

Part b)

$a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}$

Part c)

$a = \frac{mg}{M + m}$

Part d)

$a = 1.35 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

For hanger we know that it will have tension force upwards while it has downwards its weight so we will have

$mg - T = ma$

so we have

$a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}$

Part b)

now for car that is rolling on the floor the net force is given as

$F = Ma$

$T = Ma$

$a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}$

Part c)

now we know that the cart and the hanger both are connected to each other

so they must have same acceleration

so we will have

$T = Ma$

$mg - Ma = ma$

$a = \frac{mg}{M + m}$

Part d)

now we know that

M = 2.40 kg

m = 0.50 kg

so we will have

$a = \frac{0.50(9.81)}{2.40 + 0.50}$

$a = 1.35 m/s^2$

Explain why people who eat only plants must eat a variety of plants in order to obtain all the nutrients they need

katrin2010 [14]

Because different plants contain different vitamins and minerals as well as different amino acids and our body needs a large variety of these in order to preform all the necessary chemical reactions taking place inside our body. Some vegetables are very rich in a certain vitamin but are lacking in another, like how oranges have plenty of vitamin C but not iron. Vitamins and minerals are used in your cells to speed up and allow pretty much any chemical reaction to occur, but each one helps with a certain process and cannot simply be replaced by a different vitamin. In addition, very few vegetables contain all of the essential amino acids that work as the building blocks for protein synthesis and the creation of enzymes, so if you are not getting all of these in your diet, it is very unlikely you are producing enough enzymes and as a result certain functions in your body could stop working altogether.

The angular velocity of a process control motor is (13−12t2) rad/s, where t is in seconds. Part A At what time does the motor re

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$\omega =13-\frac{1}{2}\cdot t^2$

Motor reverse its direction when \omega =0

$13-0.5t^2=0$

$26=t^2$

$t=\sqrt{26}=5.099\approx 5.1 s$

(b)

$\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta }{\mathrm{d} t}=\omega$

$\int d\theta =\int_{0}^{5.1}\omega dt$

$\int d\theta =\int_{0}^{t}(13-.05t^2)dt$

$\theta =(13t-0.1667\times t^3)_0^{5.1}$

$\theta =44.192^{\circ}$
