How can you observe the law of conservation of energy in action at the skatepark?

Physics

Explanation:

When the skater is dropped onto the ramp from above, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases.

Every time the skater bounces from the impact, thermal energy is gained, and both potential and kinetic energy are lost.

You are sitting on a merry-go-round at a distance of 2m from its center. It spins 15 times in 3 min. What distance do you move a
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

A) 12.57 m

B) 5 RPM

C) 3.142 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance covered in 1 Revolution:

The formula that gives the relationship between the arc length or distance covered during circular motion to the angle subtended or the revolutions, is given as follows:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance covered = ?

r = radius of circle = 2 m

θ = Angle = 2π radians  (For 1 complete Revolution)

Therefore,

s = (2 m)(2π radians)

<u>s = 12.57 m</u>

B) Angular Speed:

The formula for angular speed is given as:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular distance covered = 15 revolutions

t = time taken = 3 min

Therefore,

ω = 15 rev/3 min

<u>ω = 5 RPM</u>

C) Linear Speed:

The formula that gives the the linear speed of an object moving in a circular path is given as:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed = ?

r = radius = 2 m

ω = Angular Speed in rad/s = (15 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 1.571 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (2 m)(1.571 rad/s)

<u>v = 3.142 m/s</u>

A hypodermic needle consists of a plunger of circular cross-section that slides inside a hollow cylindrical syringe. when the pl
Blababa [14]
The fluid that is being passed through the syringe and needle is incompressible, which means that it will transmit pressure equally. Therefore, the pressure on the plunger will be equivalent to the pressure on the needle. We also know that:

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure on plunger = 4 / (π*(0.012/2)²)
Pressure on plunger = 35.4 kPa
Pressure on needle = 35.4 kPa

35.4 kPa = F / (4 / (π*(0.0025/2)²)
F = 0.17 N

The force on the needle is 0.17 N

Certain neutron stars (extremely dense stars) are believed to be rotating at about 10 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 18 k
Aleks [24]

Answer:

mass of the neutron star =3.45185×10^26 Kg

Explanation:

When the neutron star rotates rapidly, a material on its surface to remain in place, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on the central material must be equal to magnitude of the centripetal acc. of the rotating star.

That is

\frac{GM_{ns}}{R^2}= \omega^2 R

M_ns = mass odf the netron star.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67×10^{-11}

R= radius of the star = 18×10^3 m

ω = 10 rev/sec = 20π rads/sec

therefore,

M_{ns}= \frac{\omega^2R^3}{G} = \frac{4\pi^2\times(18\times10^3)^3}{6.67\times10^{-11}}

= 3.45185... E26 Kg

= 3.45185×10^26 Kg
