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

A 40kg load is raised to a height of 25m. If the operation requires 1 min, find the power required​
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

163.33 Watts

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 40 Kg

Height (h) = 25 m

Time (t) = 1 min

Power (P) =..?

Next, we shall determine the energy. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 40 Kg

Height (h) = 25 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Energy (E) =?

E = mgh

E = 40 × 9.8 × 255

E = 9800 J

Finally, we shall determine the power. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Time (t) = 1 min = 60 s

Energy (E) = 9800 J

Power (P) =?

P = E/t

P = 9800 / 60

P = 163.33 Watts

Thus, the power required is 163.33 Watts

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of 32^{\circ} (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let v_{1} denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let v_{\text{air}} denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of \theta_{1} to the normal and exited with an angle of \theta_{\text{air}}. By Snell's Law, the sine of \theta_{1}\! and \theta_{\text{air}}\! would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}.

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle \theta_{c}, total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now 90^{\circ}. (in this case, \theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}.)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}.

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1}).

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For 0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}, \sin(\theta) is monotonically increasing with respect to \theta. In other words, for \!\theta in that range, the value of \sin(\theta)\! increases as the value of \theta\! increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with \theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}, the medium with the larger critical angle \theta_{c} = 32^{\circ} would have a larger \sin(\theta_{c}). such that light would travel faster in that medium.
