Answer:

Before start of slide velocity will be 14.81 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of static friction $\mu =0.8$

Angle of inclination is equal to $\Theta =tan^{-1}\mu$

$\Theta =tan^{-1}0.8=38.65^{\circ}$

$tan{38.65^{\circ}}=0.8$

Radius is given r = 28 m

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We know that $tan\Theta =\frac{v^2}{rg}$

$0.8=\frac{v^2}{28\times 9.8}$

$v^2=219.52$

$v=14.816m/sec$

So before start of slide velocity will be 14.81 m/sec

A motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest at 7.9\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}7.9 s 2 m 7, point, 9, space, start fraction,

8090 [49]

Answer:

t = 3.516 s

Explanation:

The most useful kinematic formula would be the velocity of the motorcylce as a function of time, which is:

$v(t) = v_0 +at$

Where v_0 is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration. However the problem states that the motorcyle start at rest therefore v_0 = 0

If we want to know the time it takes to achieve that speed, we first need to convert units from km/h to m/s.

This can be done knowing that

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

Therefore

1 km/h = (1000/3600) m/s = 0.2777... m/s

100 km/h = 27.777... m/s

Now we are looking for the time t, for which v(t) = 27.77 m/s. That is:

27.777 m/s = 7.9 m/s^2 t

Solving for t

t = (27.7777 / 7.9) s = 3.516 s

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration ( $a$ ) consist in two components, <em>radial</em> ( $a_{r}$ ) and <em>tangential</em> ( $a_{t}$ ), in meters per square second:

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$ (1)

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$ (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$ (3)

Where:

$r$ - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

$\omega$ - Angular speed, in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$ (4)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $r = 0.1\,m$ , $\alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 0.60\,s$ , then the total linear acceleration is:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$

$\omega = 1.2\,\frac{rad}{s}$

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$

$a_{r} = 0.144\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$

$a_{t} = 0.2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$

$a \approx 0.246\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

An electrical heater 100 mm long and 5 mm in diameter is inserted into a hole drilled normal to the surface of a large block of

slega [8]

Answer:

$T_{1}=94.9^{o}C$

Explanation:

Given data

length=100mm

Diameter=5mm

Thermal conductivity=5 W/m.K

Power=50 W

Temperature=25°C

The temperature of heater surface follows from the rate equation written as:

$T_{1}=T_{2}+\frac{q}{kS}$

Where S can be estimated from the conduction shape factor for a vertical cylinder in semi infinite medium

$S=\frac{2\pi L}{ln(\frac{4L}{D} )} \\$

Substitute the given values

$S=\frac{2\pi (0.1m)}{ln[\frac{4*0.1m}{0.005m} ]}\\ S=0.143m$

The temperature of heater is then:

$T_{1}=25^{o}C+\frac{50W}{5W/m.K*0.143m} \\T_{1}=94.9^{o}C$

The temperature reached by the heater when dissipating 50 W with the surface of the block at a temperature of 25°C.

$T_{1}=94.9^{o}C$
