Answer:

The mass of the object is 3.08 kg.

Explanation:

The horizontal force is12.7 N and the coefficient of the kinetic fraction are 0.42. Now we have to compute the mass of the object. Thus, use the below formula to find the mass of the object.

Let the mass of the object = m.

The coefficient of kinetic friction, n = 0.42

Therefore,  

Force, F = n × mg

12.7 = 0.42 × 9.8 × m

m = 3.08 kg

The mass of the object is 3.08 kg.

A disk-shaped platform has a known rotational inertia. The platform is mounted on a fixed axle and rotates in a horizontal plane
Nataly [62]

The frictional torque exerted on the platform by the axle as the platform rotates will be;

\rm T_f \theta =\frac{1}{2} I [\omega^2-\omega_0^2]

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the force's twisting action about the axis of rotation. Torque is the term used to describe the instant of force. It is the rotational equivalent of force. Torque is a force that acts in a turn or twist.

The amount of torque is equal to force multiplied by the perpendicular distance between the point of application of force and the axis of rotation.

Work done by the frictional torque = Change in the rotational kinetic energy of the wheel

\rm T_f \theta =\frac{1}{2} I [\omega^2-\omega_0^2]

Where,

\rm T_f is the frictional torque

\rm \omega is the final angular velocity

\rm  \omega_0 is the initial angular velocity

\rm \theta is the angular displacement

Hence, the frictional torque exerted on the platform by the axle as the platform rotates will be;

\rm T_f \theta =\frac{1}{2} I [\omega^2-\omega_0^2]

What factors affect the ability of a substance to transfer thermal energy to heat or be heated by it's surroundings?
xeze [42]

The prime factors that affect the ability of substances to transfer the thermal energy to heat are the temperature difference between the two objects, area of cross-section, time, and distance travelled by the thermal energy.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The process of heat conduction takes place through contact between two or more objects. But this conduction depends on multiple factors that are responsible for thermal conduction. They are-

  • Temperature Difference(\Delta T) - The two objects must have a temperature difference else there will be no thermal conduction between them. The more the difference in their temperatures, the more thermal energy flows from one object to the other.
  • Area of Cross-section (A) - Larger areas of contact provide as better medium of thermal conduction.
  • Time (t) - The more time we give for the thermal conduction, the more energy is transmitted from one system to the other.
  • Distance Travelled (l) - The longer the distance, lesser the conduction. Means, the distance should be minimized in order to achieve the optimum thermal conduction between two objects.

Consider metal pot and its handle, it is being boiled for 15 m. The molecules present near the source of heat, showing fast vibration and bounce off. It actually indicates the heats of substance. That’s why, handle remains hot as heat conduction takes place.  It can be estimated by,

                                       Q=\frac{k A \Delta T t}{l}

k - Thermal conductivity of the material, measured in J/s.m.^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

kramer

<h2>Given :-</h2>

  • Weight = 20 N

  • Acceleration = 2 m/s

<h2>To Find :-</h2>

  • Force applied=?

<h2>Solution :-</h2>

As we know that,

The tip of a fan blade is 0.61 m from the center of the fan. the fan turns at a constant speed and completes 2 rotations every 1
gtnhenbr [62]

The centripetal acceleration of the tip of the fan blade is 96.23 m/s²

<h3>What is centripetal acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration developed when a body is moving in circular way, directed towards the center of the circular path.

The tip of a fan blade is 0.61 m from the center of the fan. the fan turns at a constant speed and completes 2 rotations every 1.0 s

ac = ω²r

where ω = angular speed = 2πN/60, N = Rotation per minute

From the question, N = 2 x 60/1 = 120  RPM

So, the angular speed will be

ω = 2π x 120 /60

ω  = 12.56 rad/s

Then, the centripetal acceleration is

ac =  (12.56)² x   0.61 m

ac = 96.23 m/s²

Thus, centripetal acceleration of the tip of the fan blade is 96.23 m/s²
