A wheel rolls purely on ground. If the velocity of a point 'P as shown on periphery of a body has a velocity equal

Answer:

(1) 120°

Explanation:

The wheel is purely rolling, which means it rotates about an axis through the point where it touches the ground (see Figure 11-6).

The net velocity at point P on the periphery, relative to the bottom of the wheel, is:

v = ωr

where r is the distance from the point at the bottom of the wheel to P (see diagram).

To find r, we need to use some geometry.  From Inscribed Angle Theorem, we know the inscribed angle is half the arc angle.  And from Thales' Theorem, we know an angle inscribed across a diameter is a right angle.

Therefore:

cos (θ/2) = r / (2R)

r = 2R cos (θ/2)

So the net velocity at P is:

v = 2Rω cos (θ/2)

We want this to equal the velocity at the center of the circle, which is Rω.

Rω = 2Rω cos (θ/2)

1 = 2 cos (θ/2)

cos (θ/2) = 1/2

θ/2 = 60°

θ = 120°

You used a telescope and other mathematics to discover that Jupiter is 5.20 au from the sun. Use the equation to find its orbita
meriva

Answer:

11.9 years

Explanation:

We can find the orbital period by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the square of the orbital period and the cube of the average distance of a planet from the Sun is constant for every planet orbiting aroudn the Sun:

\frac{T^2}{r^3}=const.

Using the Earth as reference, we can re-write the law as

\frac{T_e^2}{r_e^2}=\frac{T_j^2}{r_j^3}

where

Te = 1 year is the orbital period of the Earth

re = 1 AU is the average distance of the Earth from the Sun

Tj = ? is the orbital period of Jupiter

rj = 5.20 AU is the average distance of Jupiter from the Sun

Substituting the numbers and re-arranging the equation, we find:

T_j=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2 r_j^3}{T_j^2}}=\sqrt{\frac{(1 y)^2 (5.2 AU)^3}{(1 AU)^3}}=11.9 y

An 11,000-watt radio station transmits at 880 kHz. Calculate the energy of a single photon at the transmitted frequency.
prisoha [69]

The energy of a single photon at the transmitted frequency is \bold{5834.4 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{J}}

Answer: Option b

<u>Solution:</u>

Energy of photon is given as E=\frac{h c}{\lambda}

Where  c is the velocity of Light \left(3 \times 10^{8} m / s\right)

h is planck's constant  \left(6.63 \times 10^{-34}\right)

λ is the wavelength of photon  

Energy of photon can be rewritten as E=h \times f

Where f is the frequency of photon  

Frequency of photon is obtained by dividing velocity of light by wavelength of photon.

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

E=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 880 \times 10^{3}=5834.4 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{J}

Two ice skaters stand at rest in the center of an ice rink. When they push off against one another the 62-kg skater acquires a s
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

48.22 kg

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

Note:  Since both skaters were initially at rest, then their total momentum  before collision is equal to zero.

And the velocity of the second skater will be in opposite direction to the first.

0 = mv+m'v'.................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first skater, m' = mass of the second skater, v = final velocity of the first skater, v' = final velocity of the second skater.

make v' the subject of the equation

m' = -mv/v'................. Equation 2

Given: m = 62 kg, v = 0.7 m/s, v' = -0.9 m/s (opposite direction to the first)

Substitute into equation 1

m' = -62(0.7)/-0.9

m' = 48.22 kg
