Answer:

0.15625 grams

Explanation:

Half life: It is related to the decay of radioactive material. The duration in which  half of the material will be degraded/decayed. That means after half life 50% of the radioactive material will be left. Here the half life is 28 years.

Initial quantity of the sample: 2.5 grams.

After 28 years, the leftover quantity = 1.25 grams

After 56 years, the leftover quantity = 0.625 grams

After 84 Years, the leftover quantity = 0.3125 grams

After 112 years, the leftover quantity = 0.15625 grams

To solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of the description of angular movement.

The angular velocity can be described as

\omega_f = \omega_0 + \alpha t

Where,

\omega_f =Final Angular Velocity

\omega_0 =Initial Angular velocity

\alpha = Angular acceleration

t = time

The relation between the tangential acceleration is given as,

a = \alpha r

where,

r = radius.

PART A ) Using our values and replacing at the previous equation we have that

\omega_f = (94rpm)(\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})= 9.8436rad/s

\omega_0 = 63rpm(\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})= 6.5973rad/s

t = 11s

Replacing the previous equation with our values we have,

\omega_f = \omega_0 + \alpha t

9.8436 = 6.5973 + \alpha (11)

\alpha = \frac{9.8436- 6.5973}{11}

\alpha = 0.295rad/s^2

The tangential velocity then would be,

a = \alpha r

a = (0.295)(0.2)

a = 0.059m/s^2

Part B) To find the displacement as a function of angular velocity and angular acceleration regardless of time, we would use the equation

\omega_f^2=\omega_0^2+2\alpha\theta

Replacing with our values and re-arrange to find \theta,

\theta = \frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_0^2}{2\alpha}

\theta = \frac{9.8436^2-6.5973^2}{2*0.295}

\theta = 90.461rad

That is equal in revolution to

\theta = 90.461rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi rad}) = 14.397rev

The linear displacement of the system is,

x = \theta*(2\pi*r)

x = 14.397*(2\pi*\frac{0.25}{2})

x = 11.3m

The normal force acting on an object and the force of static friction do zero work on the object. However the reason that the wo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The normal force is perpendicular to the displacement</em>

<em>The static friction force produces no displacement</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By Special Forces

The work is a physical magnitude that measures the dot product of the force applied to an object by the displacement it produces in it.

W=\vec F\ \vec r

It can be written in its scalar version as

W=F.d.cos\theta

Being F and d the magnitudes of the force and displacement, and \theta the angle between them

If the angle is zero, the work is at maximum, it the angle is 90°, the work is zero. If the angle is between 90° and 180°, the work is negative.

The normal force acts in the vertical direction when the object is being pushed horizontally. It means the angle between the force and the displacement is 90°, thus the work is

W=N.d.cos90^o=0

The work is zero because the force and the displacement are perpendicular

The static friction force exists only when the object is being applied a force of a magnitude not large enough to produce movement, i.e. the object is at rest. If the object is moved, the friction force is still present, but it's called dynamic friction force, usually smaller than the static.

Since in this case, there is no displacement, d=0, and the work is

W=F_r(0)cos180^o=0

A hawk is flying horizontally at 18.0 m/s in a straight line, 230 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles fre
Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) vd = 47.88 m/s

b) θ = 80.9°

c) t = 6.8 s

Explanation:

In the situation of the problem, you can assume that the trajectory of the hawk and the trajectory of the mouse form a rectangle triangle.

One side of the triangle is the horizontal trajectory of the hawk after 2.00s of flight, the other side of the triangle is the distance traveled by the mouse when it is falling down. And the hypotenuse is the trajectory of the hawk when it is trying to recover the mouse.

(a) In order to calculate the diving speed of the hawk, you first calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

One side of the triangle is c1 = (18.0m/s)(2.0s) = 36m

The other side of the triangle is c2 = 230m - 3m = 227 m

Then, the hypotenuse is:

h=\sqrt{(36m)^2+(227m)^2}=229.83m    (1)

Next, it is necessary to calculate the falling down time of the mouse, this can be done by using the following formula:

y=y_o+v_ot+\frac{1}{2}gt^2    (2)

yo: initial height = 230m

vo: initial vertical speed of the mouse = 0m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = -9.8m/s^2

y: final height of the mouse = 3 m

You replace the values of the parameters in (2) and solve for t:

3=230-4.9t^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{227}{4.9}}=6.8s

The hawk traveled during 2.00 second in the horizontal trajectory, hence, the hawk needed 6.8s - 2.0s = 4.8 s to travel the distance equivalent to the hypotenuse to catch the mouse.

You use the value of h and 4.8s to find the diving speed of the hawk:

v_d=\frac{229.83m}{4.8s}=47.88\frac{m}{s}

The diving speed of the Hawk is 47.88m/s

(b) The angle is given by:

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{c_1}{h})=cos^{-1}(\frac{36m}{229.83m})=80.9 \°

Then angle between the horizontal and the trajectory of the Hawk when it is descending is 80.9°

(c) The mouse is falling down during 6.8 s
