A 98.1 kg horizontal circular platform rotates freely with no friction about its center at an initial angular velocity of 1.69 r

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on conservation of angular momentum.

Moment of inertia of the disc = 1/2 m R² , m is mass of the disc and R is its radius.

= 1/2 x 98.1 x 1.51²

= 111.84 kg m²

Moment of inertia of disc + moment of inertia of bananas + monkey

= 1/2 x 98.1 x 1.51² + 9.29 x .45 x 1.51 + 20.3 x 1.51² ( moment of inertia of banana and monkey will be equal to mass x radial distance from axis² )

= 111.84 + 6.31 +46.28

= 164.43 kg m²

Now applying law of conservation of angular momentum

= I₁ ω₁ = I₂ω₂

111.84 x 1.69 = 164.43 x ω₂

ω₂ = 1.15 rad / s

explain how potential and kinetic energy are at play when we talk about Newton's second law of motion

KIM [24]

Potential and kinetic energy are at play when we talk about Newton's second law of motion through the various positions in relation to the bodies involved.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

This law states that force is equal to the rate of change of momentum and is denoted as F = mv where m is mass and v is velocity.

Potential energy is the energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its position while kinetic energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. Both forms of energy are influenced by forces and are equal to the total momentum.

For when white light is passed through a diffraction grating, the color closest to the center bright spot corresponds toa. Yello

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Option e. Blue/Violet

Explanation:

We know that when white light passes through a diffraction grating it spits into a band of seven colors or spectrum which includes the color in the order VIBGYOR that stands for Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red respectively.

Red light has the longest wavelength and is least scattered whereas Violet light with the shortest wavelength is the one to get most scattered and as we move far from bright spot at the center, there is an increase in the wavelength of light, thus the color that corresponds to the closest one is Violet with the shortest wavelength in the band.

You are standing in a building whose height (40m) you throw a ball downward at a angle of -30 at a speed of (10m/s) acceleration

jeyben [28]

Answer: 3.41 s

Explanation:

Assuming the question is to find the time $t$ the ball is in air, we can use the following equation:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y=0m$ is the final height of the ball

$y_{o}=40 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=10 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$t$ is the time the ball is in air

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

$\theta=30\°$

Then:

$0 m=40 m+(10 m/s)(sin(30\°))t-\frac{1}{2}9.8 m/s^{2}t^{2}$

$0 m=40 m+5m/s t-4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}$

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 and rearranging:

$4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}-5m/s t-40 m=0$

At this point we have a quadratic equation of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Where:

$a=4.9$

$b=-5$

$c=-40$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(4.9)(-40)}}{2(4.9)}$

Solving the equation and choosing the positive result we have:

$t=3.41 s$ This is the time the ball is in air

What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a

viktelen [127]

Complete Question

A certain refrigerator, operating between temperatures of -8.00°C and +23.2°C, can be approximated as a Carnot refrigerator.

What is the refrigerator's coefficient of performance? COP

(b) What If? What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump? COP

Answer:

a

$COP = 8.49$

b

$COP_1 = 9.49$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The lower operation temperature of refrigerator is $T_1 = -8.00^oC = 265 \ K$

The upper operation temperature of the refrigerator is $T_2 = 23.2 ^oC = 296.2 \ K$

Generally the refrigerators coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_1}{T_2 - T_1 }$

=> $COP = \frac{265}{296.2 - 265 }$

=> $COP = 8.49$

Generally if a refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump , the coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

$COP_1 = \frac{T_2}{ T_2 - T_1}$

=> $COP_1 = \frac{296.2}{ 296.2 - 265 }$

=> $COP_1 = 9.49$
