Answer:

<u>velocity of swimmer relative to ground = 3 i -5 j</u>

Explanation:

  • To cross a river the swimmer swims relative to river in perpendicular direction.

Velocity of river = -5 j (south)

Velocity of swimmer relative to river = 3 i(north)

So

<h2>Velocity of swimmer relative to ground = Velocity of swimmer relative to river + Velocity of river</h2>

Velocity of swimmer relative to ground = 3 i -5 j

So magnitude of total velocity is \sqrt{3^2+(-5)^2} =\sqrt{9+25} = \sqrt{34}

A dentist’s drill starts from rest. After 3.20 s of constant angu-lar acceleration, it turns at a rate of 2.51 3 104 re v/m i n.
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

ΔTita = 4205.6 rad

Explanation:

w_{i} means initial angular velocity, which is 0 rev/min

w_{f} means final angular velocity, which is 2.513*10^{4}rev/min

t means time t= 3.20 s

one revolution is equivalent to 2πrad so the final angular velocity is:

w_{f} = (2π/60) *2.513*10^{4} rad/s

w_{f}= 2628.5 rad/s

so the angular acceleration, α will be:

α = 2628.5 rad/s / 3.20 s

a = 821.40 rad/s^{2}

so the rotational motion about a fixed axis is:

w^{2} _{f} =w^{2} _{i} + 2αΔTita    where ΔTita is the angle in radians

so now find the ΔTita the subject of the formula

ΔTita = \frac{w^{2} _{f}-w^{2} _{i}  }{2a}

ΔTita = ((2628.5)^{2} - (0 rev/min)^{2}) / 2* 821.40

ΔTita = 4205.6 rad
