A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.4 m from the center of the ride. The operator turns on the ride and

brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 7.7 s. What is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding?

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction is 0.29

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 4.4 m

The operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 7.7 s.

We need to find the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding. For this the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force.

\mu mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v is the speed of cat, v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}

\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2r}{gt^2}\\\\\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 4.4}{9.8\times (7.7)^2}\\\\\mu=0.29

So, the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round is 0.29.

An electric fan is turned off, and its angular velocity decreases uniformly from 500 rev/min to 200 rev/min in 4.00 s.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a) -1.25 rev/s² and 23.3 rev

b)  2.67s

Explanation:

a) ωФ_o_z = (500 rev/min)(1min/ 60s) => 8.333 rev/s

ωФ_Z= (200 rev/min)(1min/ 60s) => 3.333rev/s

time 't'= 4 s

angular acceleration 'αФ_Z'=?

constant angular acceleration equation is given by,

ωФ_Z= ωФ_o_z + αФ_Zt

αФ_Z= (ωФ_Z - ωФ_o_z )/t => (3.333-8.333)/4

αФ_Z= -1.25 rev/s²

θ-θФ_o = ωФ_o_z t + 1/2αФ_Zt²

      =(8.333)(4) + 1/2 (-1.25)(4)²

      =23.3 rev

b) ωФ_Z=0   (comes to rest)

ωФ_o_z = 3.333 rev/s

αФ_Z= -1.25 rev/s²

ωФ_Z= ωФ_o_z + αФ_Zt

t= (ωФ_Z - ωФ_o_z)/αФ_Z => (0- 3.333)/-1.25

t= 2.67s

A proton moves with a speed of 4.00 106 m/s horizontally, at a right angle to a magnetic field. What magnetic field strength is
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B=2.55\times 10^{-14}\ T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of proton, v=4\times 10^6\ m/s

Mass of the proton, m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Charge on proton, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

We need to find the magnetic field strength required to just balance the weight of the proton and keep it moving horizontally.

The Lorentz force is given by :

F=q(v\times B)=qvB\ sin90.............(1)

The weight of proton,

W=mg..............(2)

From equation (1) and (2), we get :

mg=qvB

B=\dfrac{mg}{qv}

B=\dfrac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 4\times 10^6\ m/s}

B=2.55\times 10^{-14}\ T

Hence, this is the required solution.
