1) The minute travels the circumference of a 4 inches circle is 60 minutes:

Circumference = 2πr = 2π(2in) = 4π in
Time = 60 minutes

2) Constant angular velocity => (4π / 60) = (x / 20) => x = 4π / 3 inches

x = 4.19 inches

Answer: 4.19 inches

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at the rate of 1.2×106 kg/s and falls 50.0 m. How much power is generated by the fal
quester [9]

Answer:

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W

What is the magnitude of the total acceleration of point A after 2 seconds? The bar starts from rest and has a constant angular
monitta

Answer:

a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴) ,   a_total = 2,236 m

Explanation:

The total acceleration of a body, if we use the Pythagorean theorem is

          a_total² = a_T²2 + a_{c}²

where

the centripetal acceleration is

  a_{c} = v² / r = w r²

tangential acceleration

   a_T = dv / dt

angular and linear acceleration are related

         a_T = α  r

we substitute in the first equation

       a_total = √ [(α r)² + (w r² )²]

       a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴)

Let's find the angular velocity for t = 2 s if we start from rest wo = 0

        w = w₀ + α t

        w = 0 + 1.0 2

        w = 2.0rad / s

       

we substitute

        a_total = r √(1² + 2²) = r √5

        a_total = r 2,236

In order to finish the calculation we need the radius to point A, suppose that this point is at a distance of r = 1 m

         a_total = 2,236 m

A boat having stones floats in water. If stones are unloaded in water, what will happen to the level of water?​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

If the stones are unloaded from the boat, the weight of the boat will decrease. Therefore, the volume of the water displaced by the boat will also decrease. Due to this, the volume of the boat immersed in the water decreases. Hence, the level of the water around the boat will decrease.

Calculate the energy of the green light emitted, per photon, by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 5.49 × 1014 hz.
Tcecarenko [31]
The energy of a photon is given by
E=hf
where
h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the photon

In our problem, the frequency of the light is 
f=5.49 \cdot 10^{14}Hz
therefore we can use the previous equation to calculate the energy of each photon of the green light emitted by the lamp:
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.49 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.62 \cdot 10^{-19} J

A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.
