A record turntable is rotating at 33 rev/min. A watermelon seed is on the turntable 4.4 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) Calcul

ate the acceleration of the seed, assuming that it does not slip. (b) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the seed and the turntable if the seed is not to slip? (c) Suppose that the turntable achieves its angular speed by starting from rest and undergoing a constant angular acceleration for 0.37 s. Calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction required for the seed not to slip during the acceleration period.

Answer:

a) a =0.53 m/s²

b) μ=0.054

c) μ = 0.068

Explanation:

a) If we assume that the turntable is rotating at a constant speed, the only force acting on the seed parallel to the surface, which keeps it  from following a straight line trajectory, is the centripetal force.

So, we can apply Newton's 2nd Law to the seed in this way:

Fnet = m*a = m*ac = m*ω²*r

We have the value of the angular speed, ω, in rev/min, so it is advisable to convert it to rad/sec, as follows:

ω = 33 rev/min*(1 min/60 sec)*(2*π rad/ 1 rev) = 11/10*π rad/sec

So, replacing in (1), we can solve for ac, as follows:

ac = ω²*r = (11/10)²*π²*0.044 m = 0.53 m/s²

b) Now, the centripetal force that we found above, is not a new type of force, it must be a force that explains the behavior of the seed.

As the seed does not slip, the only force acting  on it parallel to the surface, is the static  friction force, which has a maximum value, as follows:

Ff = μ*N

As there is no movement in the vertical direction, this means that the normal force must be equal and opposite to Fg, so we can write the expression for Ff as follows:

Ff = μ*m*g

Now, this force is no other than centripetal force, so we can write this equation:

Ff  = Fc ⇒ μ*m*g = m*ac

⇒ μ*g = ac

Solving for μ:

μ = ac/g = 0.53 m/s² / 9.8 m/s² = 0.054

c) During the acceleration period, added to the centripetal acceleration, as the angular speed is not constant, we will have also an angular acceleration, γ , which we can get as follows:

γ = Δω/Δt = (11/10)*π / 0.37 s = 9.34 rad/sec²

By definition of angular acceleration, there exists a fixed  relationship between the angular acceleration and the tangential acceleration (same as the one between angular and tangential speed), as follows:

at = γ*r = 9.34 rad/sec²*0.044 m = 0.41 m/s

When the turntable has reached to its maximum angular velocity, it will have also the maximum value of the centripetal acceleration, which we have just found out.

So, the magnitude of the total acceleration (at the moment of maximum acceleration) as they are perpendicular each  other) , is given by the following expression:

a = √(ac)²+(at)² = 0.67 m/s²

Now, as friction force opposes to the relative movement between surfaces (the seed and the turntable), it shall be larger than the product of the mass times the total acceleration, acting along  the same action line, so we can say:

Ffmin = μ*m*g = m*a

⇒ μmin = a/g = 0.67 m/s²/9.8 m/s² = 0.068

During fabrication processes, polymeric materials are generally subjected to which of the following conditions? The ambient temp
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

- Elevated temperatures.

- Elevated pressures.

Explanation:

In the manufacture of plastic products are used:

Raw material (pellets) which are the monomers that promote the chemical reaction.

To these are added the charges, in order to reduce the cost of the final product and improve some properties. These charges can be fiberglass, paper, metal structures.

Additives are also added whose mission is to improve or achieve certain properties, such as reducing friction, reducing chemical degradation, increasing electrical conductivity, coloring the product, and all this happens in the presence of a catalyst that is responsible for initiating and accelerating the chemical reaction process.

There are different methods of production of plastics, one of the most frequent is by injection.

Injection is a process that is carried out on machines similar to extrusion machines, in which the spindle, in addition to rotating, has an axial displacement.

In the injection, once the mold is filled, it is separated from the nozzle of the machine, breaking the feed channel. After a certain time, the piece already cooled is demoulded.

High pressures and temperatures are necessary, but parts of good finish and at high production speeds are obtained
