The Cosmic Ray is a natural way for nuclear fission and nucleosynthesis to occur. It refers to the formation of chemical elements from the impact of cosmic rays on an object.

A plastic film moves over two drums. During a 4-s interval the speed of the tape is increased uniformly from v0 = 2ft/s to v1 =

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Question 1)

a) The speed of the drums is increased from 2 ft/s to 4 ft/s in 4 s. From the below kinematic equations the acceleration of the drums can be determined.

$v_1 = v_0 + at \\4 = 2 + 4a\\a = 0.5~ft/s^2$

This is the linear acceleration of the drums. Since the tape does not slip on the drums, by the rule of rolling without slipping,

$v = \omega R\\a = \alpha R$

where α is the angular acceleration.

In order to continue this question, the radius of the drums should be given.

Let us denote the radius of the drums as R, the angular acceleration of drum B is

α = 0.5/R.

b) The distance travelled by the drums can be found by the following kinematics formula:

$v_1^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax\\4^2 = 2^2 + 2(0.5)x\\x = 12 ft$

One revolution is equal to the circumference of the drum. So, total number of revolutions is

$x / (2\pi R) = 6/(\pi R)$

Question 2)

a) In a rocket propulsion question, the acceleration of the rocket can be found by the following formula:

$a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{13000}{2600}25 = 125~ft/s^2$

b) $a = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = - \frac{13000}{400}25 = 812.5~ft/s^2$

As scientists research, they often find information that does not fit with current theories. What happens when new, contradictor

timofeeve [1]

The correct answer is "C". 'Old theories are adjusted to incorporate all old new information.' This makes the most sense, regarded the old and new information should be taken into consideration.

I hope this helped you!

2. a) A disc rotates about its axis at speed 25 revolutions per minute and takes 15 s to stop. Calculate the

ASHA 777 [7]

The statement shows a case of rotational motion, in which the disc decelerates at constant rate.

i) The angular acceleration of the disc ( $\alpha$ ), in revolutions per square second, is found by the following kinematic formula:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{o}}{t}$ (1)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, in revolutions per second.
$\omega_{f}$ - Final angular speed, in revolutions per second.
$t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $\omega_{o} = \frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}$ , $\omega_{f} = 0\,\frac{rev}{s}$ y $t = 15\,s$ , then the angular acceleration of the disc is:

$\alpha = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-\frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}}{15\,s}$

$\alpha = -\frac{1}{36}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

The angular acceleration of the disc is $\frac{1}{36}$ radians per square second.

ii) The number of rotations that the disk makes before it stops ( $\Delta \theta$ ), in revolutions, is determined by the following formula:

$\Delta \theta = \frac{\omega_{f}^{2}-\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \alpha}$ (2)

If we know that $\omega_{o} = \frac{5}{12}\,\frac{rev}{s}$ , $\omega_{f} = 0\,\frac{rev}{s}$ y $\alpha = -\frac{1}{36}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$ , then the number of rotations done by the disc is:

$\Delta \theta = 3.125\,rev$
