Helicopter blades withstand tremendous stresses. In addition to supporting the weight of a helicopter, they are spun at rapid ra

tes and experience large centripetal accelerations, especially at the tip. (a) Calculate the magnitude (in m/s2) of the centripetal acceleration at the tip of a 3.10 m long helicopter blade that rotates at 280 rev/min. m/s2 (b) Compare the linear speed of the tip with the speed of sound (taken to be 340 m/s). vtip vsound =

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the helicopter, l = 3.1 m

The helicopter rotates, the length of helicopter will become the radius of circular path, r = 3.1 m

Angular speed of the helicopter, \omega=280\ rev/min=29.32\ rad/s

(a) The centripetal acceleration in terms of angular velocity is given by :

a_c=r\times \omega^2

a_c=3.1\times (29.32)^2

a_c=2664.95\ m/s^2

(b) Let v is the linear speed of the tip. The relation between the linear and angular speed is given by :

v=r\times \omega

v=3.1\times 29.32

v = 90.89 m/s

\dfrac{v_{tip}}{v_{sound}}=\dfrac{90.89}{340}=0.267

Hence, this is the required solution.

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

Q=cm\Delta T (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and \Delta T the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}

Sample B:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}

Sample C:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression -\frac{Q}{cm} that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of \Delta T implies the temperature is dropping)

What is a cyclotron??<br> What is cyclotron frequency?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator.

Explanation:

Cyclotron frequency is the frequency of a charged particle moving perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field B, since that motion is always circular, the cyclotron frequency is given by equality of centripetal force and magnetic Lorentz force.

Set up the problem with the conversion rates as fractions where when you multiply the units cancel out leaving the desired units behind.

( \frac{ 5 cm}{1 sec} ) *( \frac{1m }{100cm})*( \frac{1km}{1000m} )*( \frac{1mi}{1.6km} ) = 0.00003125 mi/sec \\  \\ ( \frac{0.00003125 mi}{1sec} )*( \frac{60sec}{1min} )*( \frac{60min}{1hr} )=0.1125 mi/hr
