Consider a situation of simple harmonic motion in which the distance between the endpoints is 2.39 m and exactly 8 cycles are co

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1.195 m

2.8375 s

2.21433 rad/s

Explanation:

d = Distance = 2.39 m

N = Number of cycles = 8

t = Time to complete 8 cycles = 22.7 s

Radius would be equal to the distance divided by 2

$r=\frac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{2.39}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=1.195\ m$

The radius is 1.195 m

Time period would be given by

$T=\frac{t}{N}\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{22.7}{8}\\\Rightarrow T=2.8375\ s$

Time period of the motion is 2.8375 s

Angular speed is given by

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{2\pi}{2.8375}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.21433\ rad/s$

The angular speed of the motion is 2.21433 rad/s

A string that passes over a pulley has a 0.341 kg mass attached to one end and a 0.625 kg mass attached to the other end. The pu

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The frictional torque is $\tau = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass attached to one end the string is $m_1 = 0.341 \ kg$

The mass attached to the other end of the string is $m_2 = 0.625 \ kg$

The radius of the disk is $r = 9.00 \ cm = 0.09 \ m$

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the first mass is mathematically represented as

$T_1 = m_1 * g$

substituting values

$T_1 = 0.341 * 9.8$

$T_1 = 3.342 \ N$

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the mass is mathematically represented as

$T_2 = m_2 * g$

$T_2 = 0.625 * 9.8$

$T_2 = 6.125 \ N$

The frictional torque that must be exerted is mathematically represented as

$\tau = (T_2 * r ) - (T_1 * r )$

substituting values

$\tau = ( 6.125 * 0.09 ) - (3.342 * 0.09 )$

$\tau = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m$

A car accelerates from 20mi/hr to 60mi/hr. How many times greater is the car's kinetic energy at the higher speed compared to th

Ainat [17]

Answer:

9 times

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

When we triple the velocity, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9.

9KE = ½ m(3v)²

Sedimentary rock turns into magnum through which process

alexandr402 [8]

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.
