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.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

10000 V

0.00225988700565 m²

8\times 10^{-12}\ F

Explanation:

E = Electric field = 4\times 10^6\ V/m

d = Gap = 2.5 mm

Q = Charge = 80 nC

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

Potential difference is given by

V=Ed\\\Rightarrow V=4\times 10^6\times 2.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow V=10000\ V

The potential difference between the plates is 10000 V

Area is given by

A=\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_0E}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{80\times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 4\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow A=0.00225988700565\ m^2

The area of the plate is 0.00225988700565 m²

Capacitance is given by

C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.00225988700565}{2.5\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=8\times 10^{-12}\ F

The capacitance is 8\times 10^{-12}\ F

A stone is thrown at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal from the top edge of a cliff with an initial speed of 12 m/s. A
natta225 [31]

v = initial velocity of launch of the stone = 12 m/s

θ = angle of the velocity from the horizontal = 30

Consider the motion of the stone along the vertical direction taking upward direction as positive and down direction as negative.

v₀ = initial velocity along vertical direction = v Sinθ = 12 Sin30 = 6 m/s

a = acceleration of the stone = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.8 s

Y = vertical displacement of stone = vertical height of the cliff = ?

using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

Y = 6 (4.8) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.8)²

Y = - 84.1 m

hence the height of the cliff comes out to be 84.1 m
