An electric wall clock has a second hand 15 cm long. at the tip of his hand, what is the magnitude of the velocity?

Physics

Mila [183]3 years ago

The velocity of the tip of the second hand is 0.0158 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the angular velocity of the second hand.

We know that the second hand completes one full circle in

T = 60 seconds

Therefore, its angular velocity is:

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{(60)}=0.105 rad/s

Now we can calculate the velocity of a point on the tip of the hand by using the formula

v=\omega r

where

\omega=0.105 rad/s is the angular velocity

r = 15 cm = 0.15 m is the radius of the circle (the distance of the point from the centre of rotation)

Substituting,

v=(0.105)(0.15)=0.0158 m/s

Teeth are an example of which type of simple machine? lever wedge inclined plane pulley
andreev551 [17]

Answer: Teeth is an example of a wedge.

Explanation :

the machines that make our work easier are called simple machines. Some machines can be compound because they are a combination of more than two simple machines. For example, stapler.

Teeth are an example of a wedge. It is a simple machine which consists of two inclined planes. It is used to split apart objects.  

The mechanical advantage of a wedge is more than 1.

So, the correct option is (b) " Wedge".

puteri [66]

Answer:

(b) Yes, the earth gains momentum but the change in momentum of the earth is much lesser compared to that of everyone in the air. The resistance to motion (inertia of the earth), which is a function of its mass is so great that the earth's acceleration is small in the given time frame.

Explanation:

From Newton's second law which can be stated mathematically as

F = m(v-u)/t = ma.

By Newton's law of gravitation, there is a force between the earth and everyone in the air. This force is responsible for the change in momentum of everyone in the air and this force gives them an acceleration equal to g = 9.80m/s². By Newton's law of gravitation and Newton's third law of motion, this force is also equal to the force exerted by everyone on the earth.

For this to be true,

F = M (everyone) ×a (everyone) = M(earth) × a (earth).

And

a (earth) = {M (everyone) ×a (everyone) }/M (earth)

Then

a (earth) must be lesser than a (everyone) since M(earth) >> M(everyone).

a = change in momentum/ time

Therefore the earth will have a much lesser change in momentum which is the reason we won't notice the earth's movement.

Thank you for reading.
