Answer:
59.4 meters
Explanation:
The correct question statement is :
A floor polisher has a rotating disk that has a 15-cm radius. The disk rotates at a constant angular velocity of 1.4 rev/s and is covered with a soft material that does the polishing. An operator holds the polisher in one place for 4.5 s, in order to buff an especially scuff ed area of the floor. How far (in meters) does a spot on the outer edge of the disk move during this time?
Solution:
We know for a circle of radius r and θ angle by an arc of length S at the center,
S=rθ
This gives
θ=S/r
also we know angular velocity
ω=θ/t where t is time
or
θ=ωt
and we know
1 revolution =2π radians
From this we have
angular velocity ω = 1.4 revolutions per sec = 1.4×2π radians /sec = 1.4×3.14×2×= 8.8 radians / sec
Putting values of ω and time t in
θ=ωt
we have
θ= 8.8 rad / sec × 4.5 sec
θ= 396 radians
We are given radius r = 15 cm = 15 ×0.01 m=0.15 m (because 1 m= 100 cm and hence, 1 cm = 0.01 m)
put this value of θ and r in
S=rθ
we have
S= 396 radians ×0.15 m=59.4 m
Pretty sure it’s Force*Distance*Cos(theta)
Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).
Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.
Moral of the story: If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as
Where,
v = Velocity
f = Frequency,
Our values are given as
L = 3.6m
v= 192m/s
f= 320Hz
Replacing we have that
The total number of 'wavelengths' that will be in the string will be subject to the total length over the size of each of these undulations, that is,
Therefore the number of wavelengths of the wave fit on the string is 6.
