A record turntable rotates through 5.0 rad in 2.8 s as it is accelerated uniformly from rest. What is the angular velocity at th

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

$\omega_f = 3.584\ rad/s$

Explanation:

given,

turntable rotate to, θ = 5 rad

time, t = 2.8 s

initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

final angular speed = ?

now, using equation of rotational motion

$\theta = \omega_i t + \dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

$5 = 0+ \dfrac{1}{2}\alpha\times 2.8^2$

$\alpha= \dfrac{10}{2.8^2}$

α = 1.28 rad/s²

now, calculation of angular velocity

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

$\omega_f =0 +1.28\times 2.8$

$\omega_f = 3.584\ rad/s$

hence, the angular velocity at the end is equal to 3.584 rad/s

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 0.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on DNA molecule, $F=1.5\ nN=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N$

The molecule got stretched by 5 nm, $x=5\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Let k is the spring constant of that DNA molecule. It can be calculated using the Hooke's law. It says that the force acting on the spring is directly proportional to the distance as :

$F=-kx$

$k=\dfrac{F}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N}{5\times 10^{-9}\ m}$

k = 0.3 N/m

So, the spring constant of the DNA molecule is 0.3 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.
