a fan acquires a speed of 180 rpm in 4s, starting from rest. calculate the speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second startin

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

225 rpm

Explanation:

The angular acceleration of the fan is given by:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$

where

$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i$ is the initial angular speed

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

For the fan in this problem,

$\omega_i = 0\\\omega_f = 180 rpm\\\Delta t=4 s$

Substituting,

$\alpha = \frac{180-0}{4}=45 rpm/s$

Now we can find the angular speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second, so after t = 5 s. It is given by:

$\omega' = \omega_i + \alpha t$

where

$\omega_i = 0\\\alpha = 45 rpm/s\\t = 5 s$

Substituting,

$\omega' = 0 + (45)(5)=225 rpm$

Energy transformations when you cook sausages on a campfire burning wood

Rina8888 [55]

<span>Actually in this case heat energy is being transferred. Heat energy or thermal energy is transferred from the burning of wood to the sausages for it to be cooked. The sausage is being heated by the fire and is absorbing the heat or thermal energy.</span>

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calcu

galina1969 [7]

Question:

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the following angles between the magnetic field and the current.

(a)60 (b)90 (c)120

Answer:

(a)5.42 N (b)6.26 N (c)5.42 N

Explanation:

From the question

Length of wire (L) = 2.80 m

Current in wire (I) = 5.20 A

Magnetic field (B) = 0.430 T

Angle are different in each part.

The magnetic force is given by

$F=I \times B \times L \times sin(\theta)$

So from data

$F = 5.20 A \times 0.430 T \times 2.80 sin(\theta)\\\\F=6.2608 sin(\theta) N$

Now sub parts

(a)

$\theta=60^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(60^{o}) N\\\\Force = 5.42 N$

(b)

$\theta=90^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(90^{o}) N\\\\Force = 6.26 N$

(c)

$\theta=120^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(120^{o}) N\\\\Force = 5.42 N$
