In a plate glass factory, sheets of glass move along a conveyor belt at a speed of 15.0 cm/s. An automatic cutting tool descends

at preset intervals to cut the glass to size. Since the assembly belt must keep moving at constant speed, the cutter is set to cut at an angle to compensate for the motion of the glass. If the glass is 72.0 cm wide and the cutter moves across the width at a speed of 24.0 cm/s, at what angle should the cutter be set

Answer:

angle at which the cutter should be set = 32°

Explanation:

We are given;

Speed of conveyor belt; v1 = 15 cm/s

Width;w = 72 cm

Speed of the cutter that moves across the width; v2 = 24 cm/s

Let's calculate time;

Since the width and the rate at which the cutter works per seconds is given, thus;

Time = w/v2

Time = 72/24 = 3 seconds

Now, we know that, velocity = distance/time

Thus, distance = velocity x time

So, distance covered;d = 15 x 3 = 45 cm

Now, for us to calculate the angle the cutter should be set, we would treat it as a triangle.

When the cutter cuts it, it covers a distance d which is perpendicular to the width.

Thus, to calculate the angle made with the width, we'll use trigonometric ratio.

Thus, d/w = tan θ where θ is the angle at which the cutter should be set.

So, 45/72 = tan θ

tan θ = 0.625

θ = tan^(-1)0.625

θ = 32°

Semenov [28]

Answer:

W = 0.842 J

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

         W = ΔK

In this case the kinetic energy at point A is zero since the system is stopped

         W = K_f                (1)

now let's use conservation of energy

starting point. Highest point A

          Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lowest point B

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         mg h = K

to find the height let's use trigonometry

at point A

            cos 35 = x / L

            x = L cos 35

so at the height is

            h = L - L cos 35

            h = L (1-cos 35)

we substitute

           K = m g L (1 -cos 35)

we substitute in equation 1

           W = m g L (1 -cos 35)

let's calculate

           W = 0.500 9.8 0.950 (1 - cos 35)

           W = 0.842 J

A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?
dolphi86 [110]

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

I = MR^2

Here,

M = Mass

R = Radius of the hoop

The precession frequency is given as

\Omega = \frac{Mgd}{I\omega}

Here,

M = Mass

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d = Distance of center of mass from pivot

I = Moment of inertia

\omega= Angular velocity

Replacing the value for moment of inertia

\Omega= \frac{MgR}{MR^2 \omega}

\Omega = \frac{g}{R\omega}

The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then

\omega = 1000rpm (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})

\omega = 104.7rad/s

Replacing our values we have that

\Omega = \frac{9.8m/s^2}{(8*10^{-2}m)(104.7rad)}

\Omega = 1.17rad/s

The precession frequency is

\Omega = \frac{2\pi rad}{T}

T = \frac{2\pi rad}{\Omega}

T = \frac{2\pi}{1.17}

T = 5.4 s

Therefore the precession period is 5.4s
