Answer:

The average angular acceleration is 0.05 radians per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that Ferris wheel accelerates at constant rate, the angular acceleration as a function of change in angular position and the squared final and initial angular velocities can be clear from the following expression:

\omega^{2} = \omega_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot \alpha\cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})

Where:

\omega_{o}, \omega - Initial and final angular velocities, measured in radians per second.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

\theta_{o}, \theta - Initial and final angular position, measured in radians.

Then,

\alpha = \frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})}

Given that \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}, \omega = 0.70\,\frac{rad}{s} and \theta-\theta_{o} = 4.9\,rad, the angular acceleration is:

\alpha = \frac{\left(0.70\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(4.9\,rad\right)}

\alpha = 0.05\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

Now, the time needed to accelerate the Ferris wheel uniformly is described by this kinematic equation:

\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t

Where t is the time measured in seconds.

The time is cleared and obtain after replacing every value:

t = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{\alpha}

If \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s},  \omega = 0.70\,\frac{rad}{s} and \alpha = 0.05\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}, the required time is:

t = \frac{0.70\,\frac{rad}{s} - 0\,\frac{rad}{s} }{0.05\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }

t = 14\,s

Average angular acceleration is obtained by dividing the difference between final and initial angular velocities by the time found in the previous step. That is:

\bar \alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{t}

If \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s},  \omega = 0.70\,\frac{rad}{s} and t = 14\,s, the average angular acceleration is:

\bar \alpha = \frac{0.70\,\frac{rad}{s} - 0\,\frac{rad}{s} }{14\,s}

\bar \alpha = 0.05\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

The average angular acceleration is 0.05 radians per square second.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

"8 units" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

According to the question,

Throughout equilibrium all particles are of equivalent intensity, and as such the integrated platform's total energy has been uniformly divided across all individuals.

Now,

The total energy will be:

= 480+720

= 1200 \ units

The total number of particles will be:

= 50+100

= 150

hence,

Energy of each A particle or each B particle will be:

= \frac{1200}{150}

= 8 \ units

The photograph shows matter going through a physical change. Which characteristic of the matter changes?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Possibly shape.

Explanation:

Because it is ripped in half. As you guys and the questioner can see that there is a wiggly strip down the middle. That also cause of a shape change.

I really hope my answer is right ^_^
