1 answer:

7 0

The instrument that measures wind is called anemometer. Anemometer not only measures wind, but also, this measures the direction of the wind. And anemometer is also a common device used in a station weather. It is dervived from the greek work anemos which means wind.

Can an electron be found in an exact spot within an atom

jolli1 [7]

No, it is impossible to determine the exact location of an electron. This is because electrons don't have a definite position, and direction of motion, at the same time and its movements are unpredictable

It takes 185 kj of work to accelerate a car from 23.0 m/s to 28.0 m/s. what is the car's mass?

Pachacha [2.7K]

<span>This question is based on conservation of energy as the work done would lead to change in kinetice energy of car change in KE = 1/2 mv(f)^2 - 1/2mv(i)^2 = 1/2m(v(f)^2-v(i)^2) where v(f) and v(i) are the final and initial speeds change in KE = 185kJ = 185,000J = 1/2 m((28m/s)^2-(23m/s)^2) 185,000=1/2 m(255m^2/s^2) solving for m m=1451kg</span>

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s

allsm [11]

Answer:

a) $\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , b) $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

$\tau = F \cdot r$

$\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r$

$\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}$

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

$\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}$

$\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

$\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)$

$\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

$t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}$
