When two sticks are laid end-to-end they cover a length of 8.32 feet. One stick is 2.93 ft longer than the other. What is the le

ngth of the shorter stick in feet?

To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as

$x+2.93$

Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore

$x +(x+2.97) = 8.32$

Now solving for x we have,

$x + (x + 2.93) = 8.32$

$2x + 2.93 = 8.32$

$2x = 8.32 - 2.93$

$x = \frac{ 8.32 - 2.93}{2}$

$x = 2.695 ft$

Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.

Una prenda de 320gramos de ropa gira en el interior de una lavadora si dicha lavadora tiene 40 cm y gira con una frecuencia de 4

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Período del tambor: $T = 0.25\,s$ , fuerza sobre la prenda: $F \approx 80.852\,N$ , velocidad lineal del tambor: $v \approx 10.053\,\frac{m}{s}$ , velocidad angular del tambor: $\omega \approx 25.133\,\frac{rad}{s}$ .

Explanation:

La expresión tiene un error por omisión, su forma correcta queda descrita a continuación:

<em>"Una prenda de 320 gramos de ropa gira en el interior de una lavadora si dicha lavadora tiene un radio de 40 centímetros y gira con una frecuencia de 4 hertz. Halle </em><em>a)</em><em> el período, </em><em>b) </em><em>la velocidad angular, </em><em>c) </em><em>la fuerza con la que gira la prenda y </em><em>d) </em><em>la velocidad lineal de la lavadora."</em>

El tambor gira a velocidad angular constante ( $\omega$ ), en radianes por segundo, lo cual significa que la prenda experimenta una aceleración centrífuga ( $a$ ), en metros por segundo al cuadrado. En primer lugar, calculamos el período de rotación del tambor ( $T$ ), en segundos:

$T = \frac{1}{f}$ (1)

Donde $f$ es la frecuencia, en hertz.

( $f = 4\,hz$ )

$T = \frac{1}{4\,hz}$

$T = 0.25\,s$

Ahora determinamos la fuerza aplicada sobre la prenda ( $F$ ), en newtons:

$F = m\cdot a$ (2)

$F = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot m \cdot r}{T^{2}}$ (2b)

Donde:

$m$ - Masa de la prenda, en kilogramos.

$r$ - Radio interior del tambor, en metros.

( $m = 0.32\,kg$ , $r = 0.4\,m$ , $T = 0.25\,s$ )

$F = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot (0.32\,kg)\cdot (0.4\,m)}{(0.25\,s)^{2}}$

$F \approx 80.852\,N$

La velocidad lineal de la lavadora es:

$v = \frac{2\pi\cdot r}{T}$ (3)

( $r = 0.4\,m$ , $T = 0.25\,s$ )

$v = \frac{2\pi\cdot (0.4\,m)}{0.25\,s}$

$v \approx 10.053\,\frac{m}{s}$

Y la velocidad angular del tambor de la lavadora:

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

( $T = 0.25\,s$ )

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.25\,s}$

$\omega \approx 25.133\,\frac{rad}{s}$

If the area of an iron rod is 10 cm by 0.5 cm and length is 35 cm. Find the value of resistance, if 11x10^-8 ohm.m be the resist

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Resistance of the iron rod, R = 0.000077 ohms

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of iron rod, $A=10\ cm\times 0.5\ cm=5\ cm^2 = 0.0005\ m^2$

Length of the rod, L = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Resistivity of Iron, $\rho=11\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

We need to find the resistance of the iron rod. It is given by :

$R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}$

$R=11\times 10^{-8}\times \dfrac{0.35\ m}{0.0005\ m^2}$

$R=0.000077 \Omega$

So, the resistance of the rod is 0.000077 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.
