To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the angular motion kinematic equations, as well as the concepts related to the balance of Forces (Friction and Newton's second law).

We will convert the angular velocity values into international units therefore

\omega = 33 rev/min

\omega = 33\frac{rev}{min} (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})

\omega = 3.455rad/s

PART A)

Centripetal acceleration is defined as the product between the radius and the square of the angular velocity, then

a = \omega^2 \times r

a = (3.455)^2 (6.2*10^{-2})

a = 0.740096m/s^2

PART B) The friction force must be equivalent to the centripetal force (in Terms of the Newton's second law) to maintain balance therefore,

Frictional Force:

F_f = \mu mg

Centripetal force

F_c = ma

Equating the equations we will have,

\mu mg = ma

\mu = \frac{a}{g}

\mu = \frac{0.740096}{9.8}

\mu = 0.075

Therefore the minimum value of the coefficient of static fricton will be 0.075

The temperature of 20 liters of helium gas is increased from 100°K to 300°K. If the pressure was kept constant, the new volume w
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

New volume (V2) = 60 liter

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of helium (V1) = 20 Liter

Temperature (T1) = 100°K

Temperature (T2) = 300°K

Find:

New volume (V2)

Computation:

According to Gas Law:

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

20 / 100°K = V2 / 300°K

V2 = 60 liter

New volume (V2) = 60 liter

A student uses the right-hand rule as shown. an illustration with a right hand with fingers curled and thumb pointed up. what is
Afina-wow [57]

The direction of the magnetic field in front of the wire closest to the student is on the left. The direction is found by the right-hand rule.

<h3>What is the right-hand rule?</h3>

The right-hand rule is a popular mnemonic for remembering how axes in three-dimensional space are oriented.

The fact that the three axes of three-dimensional space have two different orientations gives birth to the majority of the many left-hand and right-hand rules.

Using the right-hand rule, we can recall this diagram. Your thumb points in the direction of the magnetic force pushing on the moving charge

If you point your pointer finger in the direction of the positive charge and then your middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field.

To learn more about the right-hand rule refer to the link;

A car accelerates from rest at 3 m/s for 6 seconds. The velocity of the car after 6 seconds is what ?
Artist 52 [7]

vf = vi + at
then solve for v

so
v = a(t)
so v = (3m/s^2)(6s)

so v = 18m/s
