Answer:

18.75 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the centrifuge, m = 3.45 kg

Time taken to spin, t = 100 s

Distance from axis of rotation, r = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Speed of the centrifuge, v = 150 m/s

First, we find the angular velocity

Angular velocity, w = v / r

w = 150 / 0.08

w = 1875 rad/s

And from the angular velocity, we get our angular acceleration.

Angular acceleration = angular velocity / time taken

Angular acceleration = 1875 rad/s / 100 s

Angular acceleration = 18.75 rad/s²

Therefore, the angular acceleration is 18.75 rad/s²

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the centrifuge as it spins up is 18.75 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of centrifuge, m = 3.45 kg

time taken to spin, t = 100 s

distance from the axis of rotation, r = 8.00 cm = 0.08 m

final velocity of the centrifuge, v = 150 m/s

initial velocity of the centrifuge, u = 0

Determine the linear acceleration of the centrifuge at the given time;

a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{150-0}{100} \\\\a = 1.5 \ m/s^2

Finally, determine the angular acceleration of the centrifuge as it spins up;

α = a/r

where;

α is the angular acceleration

α = 1.5 / 0.08

α = 18.75 rad/s²

Therefore, the angular acceleration (in rad/s2) of the centrifuge as it spins up is 18.75 rad/s²

A rocket with a mass of 62,000 kg (including fuel) is burning fuel at the rate of 150 kg/s and the speed of the exhaust gases is
mezya [45]

Answer:

h≅ 58 m

Explanation:

GIVEN:

mass of rocket M= 62,000 kg

fuel consumption rate =  150 kg/s

velocity of exhaust gases v= 6000 m/s

Now thrust = rate of fuel consumption×velocity of exhaust gases

=6000 × 150 = 900000 N

now to need calculate time t = amount of fuel consumed÷ rate

= 744/150= 4.96 sec

applying newton's law

M×a= thrust - Mg

62000 a=900000- 62000×9.8

acceleration a= 4.71 m/s^2

its height after 744 kg of its total fuel load has been consumed

h= \frac{1}{2}at^2

h= \frac{1}{2}4.71\times4.96^2

h= 58.012 m

h≅ 58 m

What makes output energy less than input energy?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

part of input energy is wasted

it is used to increase the entropy of the surrounding

therefore the useful energy output is necessarily smaller than the energy input

in other words the efficiency of heat engine is always less than hundred percent

Photoelectrons are observed when a metal is illuminated by light with a wavelength less than 383 nm. What is the metal's work fu
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Work function of the metal is 3.24 eV.                                    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength, \lambda=383\times 10^{-9}\ m

Let W is the work function of the metal. It is given by using Einstein's photoelectric effect equation. It is given by :

W=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

W=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{383\times 10^{-9}}

W=5.193\times 10^{-19}\ J

Since, 1\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J

So, W = 3.24 eV

So, the work function of the metal is 3.24 eV. Hence, this is the required solution.

A mouse spots an owl flying 10.1 feet over a nearby bush. The mouse is 30 feet away from the bush, and it sees the owl at a cert
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

fly is at height of h=10.1\ ft

mouse is at a distance of 30 ft from bush

if \theta  is the angle of elevation then

using trigonometric relation

\tan \theta =\frac{h}{x}

\tan \theta =\frac{10.1}{30}

\theta =tan^{-1}(\frac{10.1}{30})

\theta =18.57^{\circ}

a) A magnet falls through a loop of wire with the southpole entering first. As the south pole approaches the loop, what isthe di
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

a) Len'z law state's that the direction of induced current is such that it always opposes the cause it produces.

So, from south pole field lines go away from the loop, so to increase the flux through loop the direction of current must be clockwise.

b)

When the north pole was leaving the loop, the direction of current must be counter clock wise in the loop
