Answer:

Mining is the extraction (removal) of minerals and metals from earth. Manganese, tantalum, cassiterite, copper, tin, nickel, bauxite (aluminum ore), iron ore, gold, silver, and diamonds are just some examples of what is mined. Mining is a money making business.

A heavy flywheel is accelerated (rotationally) by a motor that provides constant torque and therefore a constant angular acceler

ki77a [65]

Answer:

a) $t_1=\frac{w_1-w_o}{\alpha}=\frac{w_1}{\alpha}sec$

b) $\theta_1=\frac{w_1^2}{2\alpha}rad$

c) $t_2=\frac{\alpha t_1}{5\alpha}=\frac{t_1}{5}sec$

Explanation:

1) Basic concepts

Angular displacement is defined as the angle changed by an object. The units are rad/s.

Angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement respect to the change of time, given by this formula:

$w=\frac{\Delat \theta}{\Delta t}$

Angular acceleration is the rate of change of the angular velocity respect to the time

$\alpha=\frac{dw}{dt}$

2) Part a

We can define some notation

$w_o=0\frac{rad}{s}$ ,represent the initial angular velocity of the wheel

$w_1=?\frac{rad}{s}$ , represent the final angular velocity of the wheel

$\alpha$ , represent the angular acceleration of the flywheel

$t_1$ time taken in order to reach the final angular velocity

So we can apply this formula from kinematics:

$w_1=w_o +\alpha t_1$

And solving for t1 we got:

$t_1=\frac{w_1-w_o}{\alpha}=\frac{w_1}{\alpha}sec$

3) Part b

We can use other formula from kinematics in order to find the angular displacement, on this case the following:

$\Delta \theta=wt+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Replacing the values for our case we got:

$\Delta \theta=w_o t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t_1^2$

And we can replace $t_1$ from the result for part a, like this:

$\theta_1-\theta_o=w_o t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha (\frac{w_1}{\alpha})^2$

Since $\theta_o=0$ and $w_o=0$ then we have:

$\theta_1=\frac{1}{2}\alpha \frac{w_1^2}{\alpha^2}$

And simplifying:

$\theta_1=\frac{w_1^2}{2\alpha}rad$

4) Part c

For this case we can assume that the angular acceleration in order to stop applied on the wheel is $\alpha_1 =-5\alpha \frac{rad}{s}$

We have an initial angular velocity $w_1$ , and since at the end stops we have that $w_2 =0$

Assuming that $t_2$ represent the time in order to stop the wheel, we cna use the following formula

$w_2 =w_1 +\alpha_1 t_2$

Since $w_2=0$ if we solve for $t_2$ we got

$t_2=\frac{0-w_1}{\alpha_1}=\frac{-w_1}{-5\alpha}$

And from part a) we can see that $w_1=\alpha t_1$ , and replacing into the last equation we got:

$t_2=\frac{\alpha t_1}{5\alpha}=\frac{t_1}{5}sec$

A vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 39 kPa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 92 kPa. Determine the absolute

Nata [24]

Answer: 53 kPa

Explanation:

Absolute pressure is a pressure value referred to absolute zero or vacuum. This value indicates the total pressure to which a body or system (the chamber in this situation) is subjected, considering the total pressure acting on it.

In this sense, the equation that will be useful in this case is:

$P_{atmospheric}= P_{absolute} + P_{vacuum}$ (1)
