A rectangular plate is rotating with a constant angular speed about an axis that passes perpendicularly through one corner, as t

he drawing shows. The centripetal acceleration measured at corner A is n times as great as that measured at corner B. What is the ratio L1/L2 of the lengths of the sides of the rectangle when n = 2.30?

Answer:

2.07

Explanation:

Since you didn't supply the drawing, here is what I assumed:

A is the corner opposite the axis of rotation

B is one of the remaining two corners

L1 is the side between A & B

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

ac = v^2 / r = (v / r) * (v / r) * r…………1

Also angular speed is

w = v / r,………….2

Substituting (2) in (1) gives:

ac = (v / r) * (v / r) * r……….3

= (v / r)^2 * r

= w^2 * r

Therefore, the angular acceleration at A and at B are given by:

acA = w^2 * rA……..4

acB = w^2 * rB……..5

It is given that:

acA = n * acB…………6

Substituting (4) and (5) into (6) gives:

w^2 * rA = n * w^2 * rB ……….7==>

rA = n * rB……..8

In terms of the sides L1 and L2:

rA = sqrt (L1^2 + L2^2)…….9

and

rB = L2…………10

Considering (8):

n * L2 = sqrt (L1^2 + L2^2)………11

Squaring both sides:

n^2 * L2^2 = L1^2 + L2^2……….12

Dividing by L2^2:

n^2 = L1^2 / L2^2 + L2^2 / L2^2…….13

= (L1 / L2)^2 + 1 ==>

n^2 - 1 = (L1 / L2)^2 ………14==>

L1 / L2 = sqrt (n^2 - 1) ………15

= sqrt (2.30^2 - 1)

= 2.07. . . . . . <<<=== the value of the ratio L1 / L2 when n = 2.30

6. If a drag racer wins the final round of herrace by going an average speed of 320 m/sin 4.5 seconds, what distance did he cove
Ivan

We want to calculate the distance covered by the drag racer. Recall, the formula for calculating distance is expressed as

Distance = speed x time

From the information given,

speed = 320 m/s

time = 4.5 s

By substituting these values into the formula, we have

Distance = 320 m/s x 4.5s

s cancels out. We are left with m. Thus,

Distance = 1440m

If a force of 50 Newton’s was applied to an object with a mass of 500 grams, what will the objects acceleration be?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:  100 m/s^2

F=ma

Explanation:

50N = 50 kg*m/s^2

500g = 0.5 kg

F=ma

a = F/m

a = (50 kg*m/s^2)/(0.5 kg)

a = 100 m/s^2

Which statements provides evidence that the earth revolves around the sun
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Different star constellations are visible from Earth at different seasons of the year.

Explanation:

The reason the fact that we can see different constellations in the sky during different seasons on earth is the most compelling reason we travel around the sun is because if the sun travelled around the earth, certain constellations would only be visible in certain places. You’d have to travel to see certain ones.

However, you don’t have to do that because we travel around the sun, therefore travelling around other stars too.
