To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.

We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.

Our data is given as:

\omega = 1.25 rad/s \rightarrow The angular speed

\alpha = 0.745 rad/s2 \rightarrow The angular acceleration

r = 4.65 m \rightarrow The distance

The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is

v = r\omega

Where,

r = Radius

\omega = Angular velocity

At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

a_c = \frac{(r\omega)^2}{r}

a_c = \frac{r^2\omega^2}{r}

a_c = r \omega^2

a_c = (4.65 )(1.25 rad/s)^2

a_c = 7.265625 m/s^2

Now the tangential acceleration is given as,

a_t = \alpha r

Here,

\alpha = Angular acceleration

r = Radius

\alpha = (0.745)(4.65)

\alpha = 3.46425 m/s^2

Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be

|a| = \sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}

|a| = \sqrt{(7.265625)^2+(3.46425)^2}

|a| = 8.049 m/s^2 \approx 8.05 m/s2

Therefore the correct answer is C.

In an electric field, 0.90 joule of work is required to bring 0.45 coulomb of charge from point a to point
jarptica [38.1K]
The difference in electric potential energy between the two points is
\Delta U = q \Delta V
where q is the magnitude of the charge and \Delta V is the electric potential difference.

But for energy conservation, the difference in electric potential energy \Delta U between the two points is equal to the work done to move the charge between A and B:
W=\Delta U
so we have
W=q \Delta V

and by substituting the numbers of the problem, we find the value of \Delta V:
\Delta V =  \frac{W}{q}= \frac{0.90 J}{0.45 C}=2 V

Conduct research to identify claims made about the effects that certain frequencies of EMR have when absorbed by matter. Find tw
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The effects that certain frequencies of EMR have when absorbed by matter is explained below in complete detail.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation of distinct frequencies associates with material adversely. ... Gamma rays, though commonly of somewhat greater frequency than X rays have the equivalent creation. When the power of gamma rays is consumed in material, its influence is practically indistinguishable from the outcome generated by X rays.

Two identical sticky masses m are moving in the xy-plane, with their momenta at an angle of φ with one another. They are each mo
postnew [5]

Answer:

ucosφ=-v2cosθ2\\\\φ=cos^{-1} (\frac{-v2cosθ2}{cosφ} )

Explanation:

Two identical sticky masses m are moving in the xy-plane, with their momenta at an angle of φ with one another. They are each moving at the same speed v when they collide at the origin of the coordinates and stick together. After the collision, the masses move at an angle −θ2 with respect to the +x axis at speed v2 .1. What was the angle φ?

from the principle of momentum

In a system of colliding bodies,we know that the total momentum before collision will equal to the total momentum after collision.

Take note that momentum is the product of mass and velocity

momentum before collision=momentum after collision

mass, m

u=initial velocity of the identical masses

v2=the common velocity after the collision

Note that the collision is inelastic , since they both moved with the same velocity

umcosφ+umcosφ=(m+m)v2cos−θ2

2mucosφ=2mv2cos−θ2

ucosφ=-v2cosθ2\\\\φ=cos^{-1} (\frac{-v2cosθ2}{cosφ} )

How is our magnetic field made?
Grace [21]

Answer:

On Earth, flowing of liquid metal in the outer core of the planet generates electric currents. The rotation of Earth on its axis causes these electric currents to form a magnetic field which extends around the planet. The magnetic field is extremely important to sustaining life on Earth.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!

A 4.50-kg wheel that is 34.5 cm in diametet rotates through an angle of 13.8 rad as it slows down uniformly from 22.0 rad/s to 1
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

\alpha =10.93radian/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given given the final angular velocity \omega _{final}=13.5rad/sec

And \omega _{initial}=22rad/sec

Displacement \Theta =13.8radian

We have to find the angular acceleration \alpha

According to law of motion \omega _{final}^2=\omega _{initial}^2+2\alpha \Theta

So 13.5^2=22^2+2\times \alpha \times 13.8

\alpha =-10.93radian/sec^2

In question we have tell about magnitude only so \alpha =10.93radian/sec^2
