A skateboarder wants to cross a large playground and notices that there are large shapes painted on its asphalt surface. One sha

pe is a large circle that covers the entire playground. Inscribed in that circle is a square, with one point at the skateboarder’s feet and the other at his destination. The surface is rough and, therefore, friction is present. What path does he follow in order to minimize the work done by nonconservative forces?

<h2>Diagonal of circle </h2>

Explanation:

As the skateboarder wants to cross the play ground . The surface is rough .

As we know , the force of friction is non-conservative force . Thus work is required against this force .

We have formula:

work done = Force x distance (in one direction )

Te force applied cannot be changed , so he is to decrease the distance .

In case of circle , diameter is the minimum distance . Thus he is supposed to move along it .

Which best explains how an object at rest deep in space and far from any massive body behaves compared to an object in free fall
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: They behave the same because, according to the principle of equivalence, the laws of physics work the same in all frames of reference.

Explanation:

According to the equivalence principle postulated by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, acceleration in space and gravity on Earth have the same effects on objects.

To understand it better, regarding to the equivalence principle, Einstein formulated the following:  

A gravitational force and an acceleration in the opposite direction are equivalent, both have indistinguishable effects.  Because the laws of physics must be accomplished in all frames of reference.

Hence, according to general relativity, gravitational force and acceleration in the opposite direction (an object in free fall, for example) have the same effect.  This makes sense if we deal with gravity not as a mysterious atractive force but as a geometric effect of matter on spacetime that causes its deformation.

A compact disc rotates at 500 rev/min. If the diameter of the disc is 120 mm, (a) What is the tangential speed of a point at the
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

(a) the tangential speed of a point at the edge is 3.14 m/s

(b) At a point halfway to the center of the disc, tangential speed is 1.571 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

angular speed of the disc, ω = 500 rev/min

diameter of the disc, 120 mm

radius of the disc, r = 60 mm = 0.06 m

(a) the tangential speed of a point at the edge is calculated as follows;

\omega = 500 \ \frac{rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s} = 52.37 \ rad/s

Tangential speed, v = ωr

                               v = 52.37 rad/s  x 0.06 m

                              v = 3.14 m/s

(b) at the edge of the disc, the distance of the point = radius of the disc

   at half-way to the center, the distance of the point = half the radius.

r₁ = ¹/₂r = 0.5 x 0.06 m = 0.03 m

The tangential velocity, v = ωr₁

                                       v = 52.37 rad/s x 0.03 m

                                       v = 1.571 m/s
