A tradesman sharpens a knife by pushing it with a constant force against the rim of a grindstone. The 30-cm-diameter stone is sp

inning at 200 rpm and has a mass of 28 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the knife and the stone is 0.2. The stone slows steadily to 180 rpm in 10 s of grinding.
a) What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the grindstone as it slows down?

b) With what force does the tradesman press the knife against the grindstone?

Answer:

a. 0.21 rad/s2

b. 2.205 N

Explanation:

We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds

200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s

180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s

r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{21 - 18.85}{10} = 0.21 rad/s^2

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

I = mR^2/2

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

I = 28*0.15^2/2 = 0.315 kgm^2

So the friction torque is

T_f = I\alpha = 0.315*0.21 = 0.06615 Nm

The friction force is

F_f = T_f/R = 0.06615 / 0.15 = 0.441 N

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

N = F_f/\mu = 0.441/0.2 = 2.205 N

Below is the data from a gas law experiment comparing the pressure and the volume of a gas at a given temperature.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The combined gas equation relates three variables pressure, temperature and volume when the number of moles is constant.

The equation is PV / T = constant. Which is valid for a fixed number of moles of the gas.

You can derive the combined gas equation from the combination of Bolye's law, Charles' law and Gay-Lussac's law, which needs some algebra.

The number of confirmed exoplanets is (a) less than 10; (b) roughly 50; (c) more than 500; (d) more than 5000.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

(c) more than 500

Explanation:

Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.
