It doesn't matter what direction she travels, or how far, or whether she uses the same road in both directions.

If she ends up at the same place she started from, then her displacement for the ride is <em>zero</em>.

A man 2 m tall walks horizontally at a constant rate of 1 m/s toward the base of a tower 23 m tall. When the man is 10 m from th

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.038\ rad/s$

Explanation:

Given that

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}= -1\ m/s$

From the diagram

$tan\theta=\dfrac{21}{x}$

By differentiating with time t

$sec^2\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

When x= 10 m

$tan\theta=\dfrac{21}{10}$

θ = 64.53°

Now by putting the value in equation

$sec^2\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$sec^264.53^{\circ} \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{10^2}\times (-1)$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.038\ rad/s$

Therefore rate of change in the angle is 0.038\ rad/s

A person is riding a bicycle, and its wheels have an angular velocity of 10.7 rad/s. Then, the brakes are applied and the bike i

Scilla [17]

Answer:

(a) t = 22.9 s

(b) α= - 0.467 rad/s²

Explanation:

The uniformly accelerated circular movement, is a circular path movement in which the angular acceleration is constant.

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated :

ωf ²= ω₀² + 2*α*θ Formula (1)

ωf= ω₀ + α*t Formula (2)

Where:

θ : angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)

t : time interval (s)

ω₀ : initial angular speed ( rad/s)

ωf : final angular speed ( rad/s)

Data

θ = 19.5 revolutions : angular displacement of each wheel or angle that the wheel has rotated in a given time interval

ω₀= 10.7 rad/s : initial angular speed of the Wheel ( rad/s)

ωf = 0 : final angular speed of the Whee( rad/s)

Calculating of the angular acceleration (α )

We replace data in the fómula (1),considering that 1 revolution is equal to 2π radians :

ωf ²= ω₀² + 2*α*θ

(0 )²= (10.7)² + 2*α*(19.5*2*π )

0= 114.49 + (245.04)*α

-114.49 = (245.04)*α

α= (-114.49) /(245.04)

α= -114.49 /(245.04)

α= -0.467 rad/s²

Time does it take for the bike to come to rest

We replace data in the formula (2)

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

0 = 10.7 + -0.467*t

-10.7 = - 0.467*t we multiply by (-1) both sides of the equation :

10.7 = 0.467*t

t = 10.7 / 0.467

t = 22.9 s

Consider horizontal parallel plates with a fixed potential difference. The upper plate has a voltage difference of 30 V with the

BlackZzzverrR [31]

relation between potential difference and electric field is given as

$E . d = \Delta V$

so here we know that

d = 3 cm

$\Delta V = 30 V$

$E \times 0.03 = 30$

$E = 1000 N/C$

So now when plates are separated to 4 cm distance carefully

the potential difference between them will change but the electric field between them will remain constant

So at distance of 4 cm also the electric field will be E = 1000 N/C
