A bicycle tire is spinning counterclockwise at 2.70 rad/s. During a time period Δt = 1.50 s, the tire is stopped and spun in the

Andru [333]

Answer:

Δω = -5.4 rad/s

αav = -3.6 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Initial angular velocity = ωi = 2.70 rad/s

Final angular velocity = ωf = -2.70 rad/s (negative sign is

due to the movement in opposite direction)

Change in time period = Δt = 1.50 s

Required:

Change in angular velocity = Δω = ?

Average angular acceleration = αav = ?

Solution:

Angular velocity (Δω):

Δω = ωf - ωi

Δω = -2.70 - 2.70

Δω = -5.4 rad/s.

Average angular acceleration (αav):

αav = Δω/Δt

αav = -5.4/1.50

αav = -3.6 rad/s²

Since, the angular velocity is decreasing from 2.70 rad/s (in counter clockwise direction) to rest and then to -2.70 rad/s (in clockwise direction) so, the change in angular velocity is negative.

When the atmosphere is not quite clear, one may sometimes see colored circles concentric with the Sun or the Moon. These are gen

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

D) diffraction

Explanation:

Corona is an optical phenomenon produced by the diffraction of sunlight or moonlight, as light moves through water droplets in the atmosphere.

This phenomenon produces one or more diffuse concentric rings of light around the Sun or Moon, usually seen as colored circles.

Therefore, the explanation for these phenomena of colored concentric circles, sometimes seen with the Sun or the Moon involves diffraction.

A cruise ship sails due south at 2.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 19.0° north of east at 5.60 m/s. What are the x-

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of ship = 2.00 m/s due south

Velocity of boat = 5.60 m/s due north

Angle = 19.0°

We need to calculate the component

The velocity of the ship in term x and y coordinate

$v_{s_{x}}=0$

$v_{s_{y}}=2.0\ m/s$

The velocity of the boat in term x and y coordinate

For x component,

$v_{b_{x}}=v_{b}\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{b_{x}}=5.60\cos19$

$v_{b_{x}}=5.29\ m/s$

For y component,

$v_{b_{y}}=v_{b}\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{b_{y}}=5.60\sin19$

$v_{b_{y}}=1.82\ m/s$

We need to calculate the x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat

For x component,

$v_{sb_{x}}=v_{s_{x}}-v_{b_{x}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{sb_{x}=0-5.29$

$v_{sb}_{x}=-5.29\ m/s$

For y component,

$v_{sb_{y}}=v_{s_{y}}-v_{b_{y}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{sb_{x}=2.-1.82$

$v_{sb}_{x}=0.18\ m/s$

Hence, The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.

Trumpeter A holds a B-flat note on the trumpet for a long time. Person C is running towards the trumpeter at a constant velocity

Vikki [24]

You didn't mention it, but the trumpeter herself has to be standing still.

Person C, the one running towards the trumpeter, hears a pitch
that is higher than B-flat. (A)

Person B, the one running away from the trumpeter, hears a pitch
that is lower than B-flat.

Person D, the one standing still the whole time, hears the B-flat.
