A uniform disk of unknown mass M and radius R = 10 cm is free to rotate about its axis. A light cord is wrapped around the rim o

n the disk and then tied to a small can of mass m = 50 gm. The cord does not slip as it unwinds on the disk. When released the can moves down with acceleration 3.27 m/s2. Take g = 9.81 m/s2. What is the angular acceleration of the disk?

Answer:

32.7\ rad/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given the acceleration of the cord is 3.27 m/sec^2 and acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/sec^2 there is a relation between the angular acceleration and the linear acceleration that is

Linear acceleration = angular acceleration × radius

We have given radius R = 10 cm =0.1 m

So \alpha = \frac{a}{R}=\frac{3.27}{0.1}=32.7\ rad/sec^2 here α is angular acceleration a is linear acceleration and R is radius

navik [9.2K]
Mass = 0.201kg
Energy = 15J
temperature change = 10C

Energy(E) = mass(m) × specific heat capacity(c) × temperature change(θ)

we can rearrange this to make specific heat capacity the subject

c =\frac{E}{m\theta}

c =\frac{15}{2.01}
c =7.46268657

Vector → A points due north and vector → B points due west. Both vectors have the same magnitude. Which of the following vectors
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

B - A

Explanation:

For the combination of 2 vector to due southwest, 1 vector must due south and the other vector due west. Since vector B is already due west, vector A should due south. As vector A is already due north, vector -A would due south. So the combination of B + (-A) or B - A should points southwest

Why is current a scalar quantity?
Nutka1998 [239]
Despite current has a magnitude and a direction, like vectors, it is a scalar because it doesn't obey laws of vector addition. For instance, if we  consider a junction of 90^{\circ} in a circuit, and two currents entering this junction, we know that the resultant current is just the algebraic sum of the two currents, not the vector sum, so it is not a vector quantity.
