To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to angular kinematic movement, related to linear kinematic movement. Linear velocity can be described in terms of angular velocity as shown below,

$v = r\omega \rightarrow \omega = \frac{v}{r}$

Here,

v = Lineal velocity

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

r = Radius

Our values are

$v = 6/ms$

$r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{120*10^{-3}}{2} = 0.06m$

Replacing to find the angular velocity we have,

$\omega = \frac{6m/s}{0.06m}$

$\omega = 100rad/s$

Convert the units to RPM we have that

$\omega = 100rad/s (\frac{1rev}{2\pi rad})(\frac{60s}{1m})$

$\omega = 955.41rpm$

Therefore the angular speed of the wheels when the scooter is moving forward at 6.00 m/s is 955.41rpm

A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v(initial). At t=0 the car

kogti [31]

Answer:

$t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

$t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

Δd = $v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i$

Explanation:

As $v(t) = v_i + at$ , when the car is making full stop, $v(t_1) = 0$ . $a = -a_i$ . Therefore,

$0 = v_i - a_it_1\\v_i = a_it_1\\t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

Apply the same formula above, with $v(t_2) = v_i$ and $a = a_i$ , and the car is starting from 0 speed, we have

$v_i = 0 + a_it_2\\t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}$

As $s(t) = vt + \frac{at^2}{2}$ . After $t = t_1 + t_2$ , the car would have traveled a distance of

$s(t) = s(t_1) + s(t_2)\\s(t_1) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2})\\ s(t_2) = \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}$

Hence $s(t) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2}) + \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}$

As $t_1 = t_2$ we can simplify $s(t) = v_it_1$

After t time, the train would have traveled a distance of $s(t) = v_i(t_1 + t_2) = 2v_it_1$

Therefore, Δd would be $2v_it_1 - v_it_1 = v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i$

Answer:

Directly proportional: as one amount increases another amount increases at the ... The "constant of proportionality" is the value that relates the two amounts ... Example: y is directly proportional to x, and when x=3 then y=15. ... Speed and travel time are Inversely Proportional because the faster we go the shorter the time.

A race car has a centripetal acceleration of 15.625 m/s2 as it goes around a curve. If the curve is a circle with radius 40 m, w

myrzilka [38]

The centripetal acceleration is given by
$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.

For the car in this problem, $a_c = 15.625 m/s^2$ and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
$v= \sqrt{a_c r}= \sqrt{(15.625 m/s^2)(40 m)}=25 m/s$

Speed is velocity in a given direction<br> O True<br> O False

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Velocity = speed with direction.

Think of speed and direction like rockets and missiles. Rockets are not smart. Missiles are smart. Rockets go in one direction. Missiles can track their targets, they have a specific destination, a specific direction.

Velocity is often used in physics, because its almost useless to know how fast an object is going if you don't know which direction it is going.

Think of it like this. If the Weather man told you a hurricane was traveling at 30 miles an hour, but didn't tell you which direction it was going, you would have no idea where to run, or if it was going to hit you at all. However, if he told you it was going 30 miles an hour to the North, and you were West of it, you would be fine, and wouldn't have to worry.
