Point P is on the rim of a wheel of radius 2.0 m. At time t = 0, the wheel is at rest, and P is on the x-axis. The wheel undergo

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

e). $a = 0.066 m/s^2$

Explanation:

As we know that wheel is turned by 90 degree angle

so the angular speed of the wheel is given as

$\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2\alpha \theta$

now we have

$\omega_f^2 - 0 = 2(0.01)(\frac{\pi}{2})$

$\omega = 0.177 rad/s$

now the centripetal acceleration of the point P is given as

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

$a_c = (0.177)^2(2)$

$a_c = 0.063 m/s^2$

tangential acceleration is given as

$a_t = R\alpha$

$a_t = 2(0.01)$

$a_t = 0.02 m/s^2$

now net acceleration is given as

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_c^2}$

$a = \sqrt{0.02^2 + 0.063^2}$

$a = 0.066 m/s^2$

You have a rod with a length of 146.4 cm. You prop up one end on a brick which is 3.8 cm thick. Your uncertainty in measuring th

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

$\partial \theta = 0.003$

Explanation:

we know that

$sin\theta = \frac{3.8}{146.4}$

$\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3.8}{146.4}$

$\theta = 1.484°$

$\theta = 1.484° *\frac{\pi}{180} = 0.0259 radians$

as we see that $sin\theta = \theta$

relative error $\frac{\partial \theta}{\theta} = \frac{\partial X}{X_1} +\frac{\partial X}{X_2}$

Where X_1 IS HEIGHT OF ROCK

$X_2$ IS THE HEIGHT OF ROAD

$\partial X$ = uncertainity in measuring distance

$\partial X = 0.05$

Putting all value to get uncertainity in angle

$\frac{\partial \theta}{0.0259} = \frac{0.05}{3.8} +\frac{0.05}{146.4}$

solving for $\partial \theta$ we get

$\partial \theta = 0.003$

The doppler effect is when objects are not moving?<br><br> True <br><br> False

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

reviewing the statement we can say that it is FALSE

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of a sound wave by the RELATIVE MOTION of the source and the observer.

This effect is very useful for finding the speed of an object.

When reviewing the statement we can say that it is FALSE
