Answer:

The amount of water in circulation is the same

Explanation:

The water cycle is the pathway in which water moves from the atmosphere to the earth and back to atmosphere ones again.

During the sunny period, the temperature of the earth is heated up, water evaporates to the atmosphere as water vapour. The water vapour gathers as cloud and comes back to the earth as rain, which enters our rivers and stream. Thereby maintaining a continuous cycle.

With the water cycle, the movement of water via precipitation and evaporation is the same on earth.

A disk 7.90 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1 190 rev/min about its central axis. (a) Determine its angular speed. 12

Tanya [424]

Answer:

$124.62\ \text{rad/s}$

$3.71\ \text{m/s}$

$1.23\ \text{km/s}^2$

$20.28\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

r = Radius of disk = 7.9 cm

N = Number of revolution per minute = 1190 rev/minute

Angular speed is given by

$\omega=N\dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1190\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=124.62\ \text{rad/s}$

The angular speed is $124.62\ \text{rad/s}$

r = 2.98 cm

Tangential speed is given by

$v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=2.98\times 10^{-2}\times 124.62\\\Rightarrow v=3.71\ \text{m/s}$

Tangential speed at the required point is $3.71\ \text{m/s}$

Radial acceleration is given by

$a=\omega^2r\\\Rightarrow a=124.62^2\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\\\Rightarrow a=1226.88\approx 1.23\ \text{km/s}^2$

The radial acceleration is $1.23\ \text{km/s}^2$ .

t = Time = 2.06 s

Distance traveled is given by

$d=vt\\\Rightarrow d=\omega rt\\\Rightarrow d=124.62\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\times 2.06\\\Rightarrow d=20.28\ \text{m}$

The total distance a point on the rim moves in the required time is $20.28\ \text{m}$ .

It takes 15 min to drive 6.0 mi in a straight line to the local hospital. It takes 10 min to go the last 3.0 mi, 2.0 min to go t

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

36.87 km/h

Explanation:

Convert all the units in SI system

1 mile = 1609.34 m

d1 = 6 mi = 9656.04 m

t1 = 15 min = 15 x 60 = 900 s

d2 = 3 mi = 4828.02 m

t2 = 10 min = 10 x 60 = 600 s

d3 = 1 mi = 1609.34 m

t3 = 2 min = 2 x 60 = 120 s

d4 = 0.5 mi = 804.67 m

t4 = 0.5 min = 0.5 x 60 = 30 s

Total distance, d = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4

d = 9656.04 + 4828.02 + 1609.34 + 804.67 = 16898.07 m = 16.898 km

total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

t = 900 + 600 + 120 + 30 = 1650 s = 0.4583 h

The ratio of the total distance covered to the total time taken is called average speed.

Average speed = 16.898 / 0.4583 = 36.87 km/h
