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.

A protostar's radius decreases by a factor of 100 and its surface temperature increases by a factor of two before it becomes a m
Sliva [168]

Answer:

L_f = K (\frac{r}{100})^2 * (2T)^4

L_f = K \frac{r^2}{10000} * 16 T^4

L_f = \frac{16}{10000} k r^2 T^4 = \frac{1}{625} k r^2 T^4

L_f = \frac{1}{625} L_i

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

Explanation:

For this case we can use the formula of luminosity in terms of the radius and the temperature given by:

L_i = K r^2 T^4

Where L_i = initial luminosity, r= radius and T = temperature.

We know that we decrease the radius by a factor of 100 and the temperature increases by a factor of 2 so then the new luminosity would be:

L_f = K (\frac{r}{100})^2 * (2T)^4

L_f = K \frac{r^2}{10000} * 16 T^4

L_f = \frac{16}{10000} k r^2 T^4 = \frac{1}{625} k r^2 T^4

L_f = \frac{1}{625} L_i

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

A Doppler radar sends a pulse at
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on the concept of Doppler's effect of em wave .

Expression for apparent frequency can be given as follows

n = N x (V - v ) / ( V + v )

n is apparent frequency , N is real frequency , V is velocity of light  and v is velocity of cloud.

n = 6 x 10⁹ ( 3 x 10⁸ - 8.52 ) / ( 3 x 10⁸ + 8.52 )

= 6 x 10⁹ ( 3 x 10⁸ ) ( 3 x 10⁸ + 8.52 )⁻¹

= 6 x 10⁹ ( 3 x 10⁸ ) ( 3 x 10⁸)⁻¹ ( 1  + 8.52/3 x 10⁸ )⁻¹

= 6 x 10⁹ ( 1  - 8.52/3 x 10⁸ )

= 6 x 10⁹    - 6 x 10⁹x  8.52/ (3 x 10⁸ )

= 6 x 10⁹  1  - 170 .

So change in frequency = 170 approx.

A 40.0-μFcapacitor is connected across a 60.0 Hz generator. An inductor is then connected in parallel with the capacitor. What i
amm1812

Answer:

The value of the inductance is 175.9 mH.

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor C= 40.0\ \muF

Frequency = 60.0 Hz

The inductor and capacitor is connected in parallel, the voltage across each of these elements is the same.

We have,

V_{L}=V_{C}

Using ohm's law

I_{rms}\times X_{L}=I_{rms}\times X_{C}

X_{L}=X_{C}

2\pi f L=\dfrac{1}{2\pi f C}

L=\dfrac{1}{4\pi^2\times f^2\times C}

Put the value into the formula

L=\dfrac{1}{4\times\pi^2\times60.0^2\times40\times10^{-6}}

L=0.1759\ H

L=175.9\times10^{-3}\ H

L=175.9\ mH

Hence, The value of the inductance is 175.9 mH.

Why do you think people translate sound waves from compression waves to transverse waves ?
gladu [14]

Answer:

Sound waves are translated into transverse waves to know the frequency, amplitude, wavelength etc of the waves.

Explanation:

They translate the sound waves to know the depth about that specific waves and translating it to transverse waves makes it easier.

Hope it helps :D
