Answer:

Explanation:

a rigid object in uniform rotation about a fixed axis does not satisfy both the condition of equilibrium .

First condition of equilibrium is that net force on the body should be zero.

or F net = 0

A body under uniform rotation is experiencing a centripetal force all the time so F net ≠ 0

So first condition of equilibrium is not satisfied.

Second condition is that , net torque acting on the body must be zero.

In case of a rigid object in uniform rotation , centripetal force is applied towards the centre ie towards the line joining the body under rotation with the axis .

F is along r

torque = r x F

= r F sinθ

θ = 0 degree

torque = 0

Hence 2nd condition is fulfilled.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$R=240m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity $v=25m/s$

Force of friction f = 0

Angle $\theta=15$

Generally the equation for Radius of curvature is mathematically given by

$R=frac{v^2}{tan\theta *g}$

$R=frac{25^2}{tan 15 *9.81}$

$R=240m$

A ray of light has a wavelength of

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, $\lambda=284\ nm$

The refractive index of glass, n = 1.51

We need to find the wavelength in vacuum. The relation between wavelength and refractive index is given by :

$n=\dfrac{\lambda_v}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda_v=n\times \lambda\\\\\lambda_v=1.51\times 284\\\\\lambda_v=428.8\ nm$

So, the wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

A rabbit is hopping along at an approximately constant speed of 3.9 m/s. The rabbit passes a crouched cat ready to chase the rab

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

t = 7,8 s

Explanation:

From the instant, the rabbit passes the cat. The cat star running acceleration of 0,5 m/s² .

When the cat arrives at the speed of 3,9 m/s the cat catches the rabbit

Then for the cat arrives at 3,9 m/s nedds

v = vo + a*t vo = 0 then v = a*t

3,9 ( m/s) = 0,5 ( m/s² ) * t

t = 7,8 s

v = 3,9 m/s =

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

10km/h

Explanation:

25÷2.5=10

speed = distance/time

velocity is a magnitude and needs a direction which wasnt provided so its basically the same as the speed
