What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a speck of clay on the edge of a potter's wheel turning at 45 rpm (revolutions per

minute) if the wheel's diameter is 35 cm?

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

Question 5 of 10
jonny [76]

Answer:

A. The particle model, because only high-energy frequencies of light  can remove electrons .

Explanation:

Each photon of blue light has higher energy than each photon of red light has  . So when each photon strikes each electron , it gets ejected . But the photon of red light has not sufficient energy to eject electron . Once the photon of red light strikes the electron , the energy is wasted off . Energy of photon can not be accumulated . Thus photon behaves like particle .

An 8-hour exposure to a sound intensity level of 90.0 dB may cause hearing damage. What energy in joules falls on a 0.800-cm-dia
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

1.4E-3J

Explanation:

Given that

Time = 8hrs = 28.8E3 seconds

Intensity= 90dB

D= 0.008m

Radius= 0.004m

So intensity is sound level Bis

10dBlog(I/Io)

I= 10 (B/10dB)Io

= 10( 90/10) x 10^-12

=0.001W/m²

But we know that

I = P/A

P= I πr²

= 5.02 x10^-8W

But energy is power x time

So E= 5.02E-8 x 28.8E3

= 1.4E-3J

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved: Group of answer choices only when no external
uysha [10]

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system (absence of external force) is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

where;

P.E is potential energy

K.E is kinetic energy

Thus, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.
