The net force on an object is:
F = ma
The only force acting on the speck of dust as it is lays on the CD is centripetal force given by:
F = (mv²)/r
Equating the two
ma = (mv²)/r
We get:
a = v²/r
v is the linear velocity in this case; however, we can calculate only the angular velocity with the given data. Therefore, we must use:
v = ωr; where
ω = 2πf; f is the rotations per second
f = 9500 / 60
f = 950/6
ω = 2π(950/6)
ω = (950π)/3
v = (950π)/3 × 0.12
v = 38π
a = (38π)²/0.12
a = 1.2 × 10⁵ m/s²
To express this in terms of gravitational acceleration, we divide by the value of gravitational acceleration, 9.81
a = 1.2 × 10⁴ g

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1.2 m/s? 3.8 kg • m/s 4.2 kg • m/s 6.0 kg • m/s 6.2 kg • m/s
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Your answer will be 6.0kg•m/s

Explanation:

In the given question all the required details d given. Using these information's a person can easily find the momentum of the object. In the question it is already given that the mass of the object is 5 kg and the velocity at which it is traveling is 1.2 m/s.We know the equation of finding momentum asMomentum = mass * velocity                   = 5 * 1.2                    = 6So the momentum of the object is 6 Newton.

How is amplitude changed in an instrument or tuning fork
azamat

Amplitude is affected by the energy wave in the instrument. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change over a single period. There are various definitions of amplitude, which are all functions of the magnitude of the differences between the variable's extreme values.

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave. Amplitude of an instrument is directly affected by the wave of the energy in the instruments. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude in the instrument.

A hair dryer is basically a duct of constant diameter in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls
nekit [7.7K]

Given:

density of air at inlet, \rho_{a} = 1.20 kg/m_{3}

density of air at inlet, \rho_{b} = 1.05 kg/m_{3}

Solution:

Now,

\dot{m} = \dot{m_{a}} = \dot{m_{b}}

\rho_{a} A v_{a} = \rho _{b} Av_{b}                        (1)

where

A = Area of cross section

v_{a} = velocity of air at inlet

v_{b} = velocity of air at outlet

Now, using eqn (1), we get:

\frac{v_{b}}{v_{a}} = \frac{\rho_{a}}{\rho_{b}}

\frac{v_{b}}{v_{a}} = \frac{1.20}{1.05} = 1.14

% increase in velocity = 1.14\times 100 =114%

which is 14% more

Therefore % increase in velocity is 14%

Why is it important to keep the muzzle of a firearm pointed in a safe direction, even though the firearm's safety is engaged?
Gnom [1K]
The correct answer is B. The safety only prevents you from pulling the trigger, but does not stop the pin from striking the primer. For example, if you drop the firearm, the pin may hit the primer and fire the firearm. It is always responsible to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction so that if this happens, no consequences come out of it.

When a body of mass 0.25 kg is attached to a vertical massless spring, it is extended 5.0 cm from its unstretched length of 4.0
lora16 [44]

Answer:

d=0.165m

Explanation:

Given

m=0.25kg,x_{1}=5cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.05m,x_{2}=4cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.04m,v=2\frac{rev}{s}

The tension of the spring is

F_{k}=K*x_{1}=m*g

K=\frac{m*g}{x_{1}}

K=\frac{0.25kg*9.8m/s^2}{0.05m}=49N/m

The force in the spring is equal to centripetal force so

F_{c}=\frac{m*v^2}{r}

v=w*r=2\pi*r

But Fc is also

Fc=KxΔr

F_{c}=K*(r-x_{2})

Replacing

m*4\pi^2*r=K*(r-x_{2})

0.25kg*4\pi^2*r=49*(r-0.04m)

r=0.205m

total distance is

d=0.205-0.04=0.165m
