as we know that

acceleration = 0.50 m/s^2

distance traveled = 125 m

time taken = 20 s

now we will use the equation of kinematics

d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

125 = v_i* 20 + \frac{1}{2}*0.50*20^2

125 = 20*v_i + 100

125 - 100 = 20*v_i

v_i = 1.25 m/s

so its initial speed must be 1.25 m/s

A one-piece cylinder has a core section protruding from the larger drum and is free to rotate around its central axis. A rope wr
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Magnitude the net torque about its axis of rotation is 2.41 Nm

Solution:

As per the question:

The radius of the wrapped rope around the drum, r = 1.33 m

Force applied to the right side of the drum, F = 4.35 N

The radius of the rope wrapped around the core, r' = 0.51 m

Force on the cylinder in the downward direction, F' = 6.62 N

Now, the magnitude of the net torque is given by:

\tau_{net} = \tau + \tau'

where

\tau = Torque due to Force, F

\tau' = Torque due to Force, F'

tau = F\times r

tau' = F'\times r'

Now,

\tau_{net} = - F\times r + F'\times r'

\tau_{net} = - 4.35\times 1.33 + 6.62\times 0.51 = - 2.41\ Nm

The net torque comes out to be negative, this shows that rotation of cylinder is in the clockwise direction from its stationary position.

Now, the magnitude of the net torque:

|\tau_{net}| = 2.41\ Nm

Why does immersion oil improve resolution?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

d. It increases numerical aperture and maintains a uniform light speed.

Explanation:

In optical microscopes, various immersion mediums are used to improve or enhance the resolution. Immersion oils like cedar and Leica oils are one of those mediums which are used to improve resolution by increasing the numerical aperture and keeping the speed of light uniform.

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?A. Fluorescent lamps are more
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent

Explanation:

Fluorescent lamps have a number of advantages over incandescent lamps which are given in the options given in A, C and D. The option available in B is a drawback, not an advantage. This is because it can give out and radiate more heat as a result of working at a higher temperature. Hence B option is correct.

Describe a situation in your everyday life where you could use the scientific method. List all the steps of the scientific metho
emmainna [20.7K]

Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.

For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.

Observation (the state of defining a problem):

The car is not started

Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):

The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.  

Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):

You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.

Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis

You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.

Draw conclusion:

The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.

<em>Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.</em>

Hope it helps!
