<h2>After 1 hour they meet.</h2>

Explanation:

Distance between them = 6 miles

Speed of uphill person = 2.5 miles per hour

Speed of downhill person = 3.5 miles per hour

Relative velocity = 2.5 - ( -3.5 ) = 6 miles per hour

We know

         Displacement = Velocity x Time

         6 = 6 x Time taken

Time taken = 1 hour

After 1 hour they meet.

A ceiling fan has three blades. The moment of inertia of a blade is 0.2kgm^2. The net torque exerted on fan blades is 8Nm. Find
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

(A) the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

moment of inertia of a blade, I = 0.2 kgm²

net torque exerted on fan blades, ∑τ =  8Nm

Torque is given as product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration;

τ = Iα

where;

α is the angular acceleration

Since there are three blades of the ceiling fan, the net torque is given as;

∑τ = (3I)α

∑τ = 3Iα

α = ∑τ / 3I

α = (8) / (3 x 0.2)

α = 13.33 m/s

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

IrinaK [193]
A) average acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time

= 7700 - 0 / 11

= 700ms^-2


B) force = mass x acceleration

= (3.05 x 105) x 700

= 320.25 x 700

= 224,175N

A 1.3-kg model airplane flies in a circular path on the end of a 23-m line. The plane makes
storchak [24]

(a) The plane makes 4.3 revolutions per minute, so it makes a single revolution in

(1 min) / (4.3 rev) ≈ 0.2326 min ≈ 13.95 s ≈ 14 s

(b) The plane completes 1 revolution in about 14 s, so that in this time it travels a distance equal to the circumference of the path:

(2<em>π</em> (23 m)) / (14 s) ≈ 10.3568 m/s ≈ 10 m/s

(c) The plane accelerates toward the center of the path with magnitude

<em>a</em> = (10 m/s)² / (23 m) ≈ 4.6636 m/s² ≈ 4.7 m/s²

(d) By Newton's second law, the tension in the line is

<em>F</em> = (1.3 kg) (4.7 m/s²) ≈ 6.0627 N ≈ 6.1 N
