The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
$v= \frac{d}{t}$ ⇒ $d=v*t$

It is given:
$v = \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s} = 3.2 m/s$
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
$d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m$

A high-speed drill rotating ccw at 2400 rpm comes to a halt in 2.5 s. What is the magnitude of the drill’s angular acceleration?

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The magnitude of the drills angular acceleration is $-32\pi s^{-2}$ .

The drill makes 50 revolutions before it stops.

Explanation:

The revolutions that the drill makes in 1 second is

$\dfrac{2400\:rev}{60s} =40\:rev/s$

And the angular velocity is

$\omega= \dfrac{40 (2\pi )}{1s}$ (<em>one revolution is </em> $2\pi$ <em> radians)</em>

$\boxed{\omega =80\pi\:s^{-1}}$

Now, the drill comes to a halt in 2.5 s, which means the magnitude of it's angular acceleration is

$a= \dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta s}$

$a=\dfrac{80\pi-0 }{0-2.5s}$

$\boxed{a=-32\pi \:s^{-2}}$

In other words, the magnitude of the angular acceleration is $-32\pi\: s^{-2}.$

Now, we find the angular displacement of the drill which is given by the equation

$\theta = \omega t +\dfrac{1}{2} \alpha t^2$

putting in $\omega = 80\pi s^{-1}$ , $\alpha = -32\pi s^{-2}$ , and $t=2.5s$ , we get:

$\theta = (80\pi s^{-1} *2.5s)+\dfrac{1}{2} (-32\pi s^{-2})(2.5s)^2$

$\theta = 100\pi$

which is

$\dfrac{100\pi }{2\pi } =50\:rev$ <em>(one revolution is </em> $2\pi$ <em> radians)</em>

50 revolutions.

In other words ,the drill makes 50 revolutions before it stops.

Hi there!

1.

The period of a pendulum can be calculated using the following equation:
$\large\boxed{T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}}$

T = period (s)

L = length of string (m)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

Plug in the values:

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4}{9.8}} = \boxed{4.014 s}$

2.

Calculate the period:

$T = \frac{\text{Time}}{\# of oscillations} = \frac{5}{20} = \boxed{0.4 s }$

Frequency is the reciprocal of the period, so:

$f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{0.4} = \boxed{2.5 Hz}$
