Answer:

$a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}$

Explanation:

The acceleration of a circular motion is given by

$a = \omega^2 R$

where $\omega$ is the angular velocity and $R$ is the radius.

Angular velocity is related to the period, T, by

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

Substitute into the previous formula.

$a = (\dfrac{2\pi}{T})^2 R$

$a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}$

This acceleration does not depend on the linear or angular displacement. Hence, the amount of rotation does not change it.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and changing states of matter?

oee [108]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.

The atomic mass of an atom do not contain electrons because

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Electrons are so small that it does not affect the mass of atom .

Explanation:

Electrons are much smaller in mass than protons, weighing only 9.11 × 10^-28 grams, or about 1/1800 of an atomic mass unit. Therefore, they do not contribute much to an element's overall atomic mass.

Water (density = 1x10^3 kg/m^3) flows at 15.5 m/s through a pipe with radius 0.040 m. The pipe goes up to the second floor of th

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The speed of the water flow in the pipe on the second floor is approximately 13.1 meters per second.

Explanation:

By assuming that fluid is incompressible and there are no heat and work interaction through the line of current corresponding to the pipe, we can calculate the speed of the water floor in the pipe on the second floor by Bernoulli's Principle, whose model is:

$P_{1} + \frac{\rho\cdot v_{1}^{2}}{2}+\rho\cdot g\cdot z_{1} = P_{2} + \frac{\rho\cdot v_{2}^{2}}{2}+\rho\cdot g\cdot z_{2}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}$ , $P_{2}$ - Pressures of the water on the first and second floors, measured in pascals.

$\rho$ - Density of water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Speed of the water on the first and second floors, measured in meters per second.

$z_{1}$ , $z_{2}$ - Heights of the water on the first and second floors, measured in meters.

Now we clear the final speed of the water flow:

$\frac{\rho\cdot v_{2}^{2}}{2} = P_{1}-P_{2}+\rho \cdot \left[\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2}+g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2}) \right]$

$\rho\cdot v_{2}^{2} = 2\cdot (P_{1}-P_{2})+\rho\cdot [v_{1}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2})]$

$v_{2}^{2}= \frac{2\cdot (P_{1}-P_{2})}{\rho}+v_{1}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2})$

$v_{2} = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (P_{1}-P_{2})}{\rho}+v_{1}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2}) }$ (2)

If we know that $P_{1}-P_{2} = 0\,Pa$ , $\rho=1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $v_{1} = 15.5\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $z_{1}-z_{2} = -3.5\,m$ , then the speed of the water flow in the pipe on the second floor is:

$v_{2}=\sqrt{\left(15.5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (-3.5\,m)}$

$v_{2} \approx 13.100\,\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the water flow in the pipe on the second floor is approximately 13.1 meters per second.
