Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-2.48\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s

It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(6.5)^2-(8.4)^2}{2\times 5.7}$

$a=-2.48\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration on the rough ice $-2.48\ m/s^2$ and negative sign shows deceleration.

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?

Ivanshal [37]

This is an example of resonance - when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion. The result of resonance is always a large vibration.

Answer D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body Because this statement contridicts the above statement, it is not accurate

As an intern at an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel for rotation about an axis

klio [65]

Hi there!

We can begin by finding the acceleration of the block.

Use the kinematic equation:

$d = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

The block starts from rest, so:

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\12 = \frac{1}{2}a(4^2)\\\\\frac{24}{16} = a = 1.5 m/s^2$

Now, we can do a summation of forces of the block using Newton's Second Law:

$F = ma = m_bg - T$

mb = mass of the block

T = tension of string

Solve for tension:

$T = m_bg - ma = 8.2(9.8) - 8.2(1.5) = 68.06 N$

Now, we can do a summation of torques for the wheel:

$\Sigma \tau = rF\\\\\Sigma\tau = rT$

Rewrite:

$I\alpha = rT$

We solved that the linear acceleration is 1.5 m/s², so we can solve for the angular acceleration using the following:

$\alpha = a/r\\\\\alpha = 1.5/.42= 3.57 rad/sec^2$

Now, plug in the values into the equation:

$I(3.57) = (0.42)(68.06)\\\\I = (0.42)(68.06)/(3.57) = \boxed{8.00 kgm^2}$

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar? Temperature of the water is measured in degrees Centigrade. Amount

mixas84 [53]

Yes heating water allows it to dissolve more Sugars because the molecular distance increases and this distance can be covered by more sugar. In the given question, The independent variable would be the temperature of water.

Since to whatever temperature the water boils at the boiling temperature of does not change remains hundred degree. Rest all the variables can vary the weight of the amount of sugar with the variable in the temperature of Boiling of water to remain constant.

Two titanium spheres approach each other head-on with the same speed and collide elastically. After the collision, one of the sp

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

m2 = 83.3 g

Explanation:

by conservation of momentum principle we have

$m_1v_{i1} + m_2v_{i2} = m_2v_{f2}$

as both sphere has same speed so $v_{i2} = v_{i1}$

$m_2 = \frac{m_1}[\frac{v_f2}{v_{f1}}+1}$

from conservation of kinetic energy principle we have

$\frac{1}{2}m_1v^{2}_{i1} + \frac{1}{2}m_2v^{2}_{i2} = \frac{1}{2}m_2v^{2}_f2$

$v_{f1} = \sqrt {\frac{(m_1+m_2) v^2_i1}{m_2}$

$v_{f1} = v_{i2}\sqrt {\frac{(m_1+m_2)}{m_2}$

$\frac{v_{f1}}{v_{i2}} =\sqrt {\frac{(m_1+m_2)}{m_2}$

substituting this value in above equation to get m2 value

$m_2 = \frac{m_1}{\sqrt {\frac{(m_1+m_2)}{m_2}+1}}$

solving for m2 we get

$m2 = \frac{m_1}{3}$

m_1 = 250 g

$=\frac{250}{3}$

m2 = 83.3 g
