Answer:

a_{cp}=7.77m/s^2

Explanation:

The equation for centripetal acceleration is a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{r}.

We know the wheel turns at 45 rpm, which means 0.75 revolutions per second (dividing by 60), so our frequency is f=0.75Hz, which is the inverse of the period T.

Our velocity is the relation between the distance traveled and the time taken, so is the relation between the circumference C=2\pi r and the period T, then we have:

v=\frac{C}{T}=2\pi r f

Putting all together:

a_{cp}=\frac{(2\pi r f)^2}{r}=4 \pi^2f^2r=4 \pi^2(0.75Hz)^2(0.35m)=7.77m/s^2

Prove the three laws of motion​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.

The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)

Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.

What material is most commonly used to make a photovoltaic solar cell?
zaharov [31]

Solar cells can be classified into first, second and third generation cells. The first generation cells—also called conventional, traditional or wafer-based cells—are made of crystalline silicon, the commercially predominant PV technology, that includes materials such as polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon.

If you need 40.0 Nm of torque in order to loosen a nut on a wn
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

0.301 m

Explanation:

Torque = Force × Radius

τ = Fr

40.0 Nm = 133 N × r

r = 0.301 m

The mechanic must apply the force 0.301 m from the nut.
