Answer:

a) a = 0.477 m/s^2

b) u = 0.04862

Explanation:

Given:-

- The rotational speed of the turntable N = 33 rev/min

- The watermelon seed is r = 4.0 cm away from axis of rotation.

Find:-

(a) Calculate the acceleration of the seed, assuming that it does not slip. (b) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the seed and the turntable if the seed is not to slip

Solution:-

- First determine the angular speed (w) of the turntable.

                   w = 2π*N / 60

                   w = 2π*33 / 60

                   w = 3.456 rad/s

- The watermelon seed undergoes a centripetal acceleration ( α ) defined by:

                   α = w^2 * r

                   α = 3.456^2 * 0.04

                   α = 0.477 m / s^2

- The minimum friction force (Ff) is proportional to the contact force of the seed.

- The weight (W) of the seed with mass m acts downwards. The contact force (N) can be determined from static condition of seed in vertical direction.

                   N - W = 0

                   N = W = m*g

- The friction force of the (Ff) is directed towards the center of axis of rotation, while the centripetal force acts in opposite direction. The frictional force Ff = u*N = u*m*g must be enough to match the centripetal force exerted by the turntable on the seed.

                    Ff = m*a

                    u*m*g = m*a

                    u = a / g

                    u = 0.477 / 9.81

                    u = 0.04862

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: The hierarchical formation model suggests that galaxies may have been formed  by subsequent mergers of smaller galaxies and that today each galaxy houses at least  a supermassive black hole.

Explanation: During a fusion of galaxies, the stars that composes it suffer the tidal force, intensifying your action as the galaxies approaching. When two galaxies merges themselves, the astronomers believes that they loss a huge part of their mass, forming the supremassive black hole, that stays in the middle of the galaxie.

The supermassive black holes are originated from the evolution of high mass stars. They were formed by huge clouds of gas or clusters of millions of stars that collapsed on their own gravity when the universe was still much younger and denser.

A pendulum is used in a large clock. The pendulum has a mass of 2 kg. If the pendulum is moving at a speed of 2.9 m/s when it re
Rufina [12.5K]
This is a classic example of conservation of energy. Assuming that there are no losses due to friction with air we'll proceed by saying that the total energy mus be conserved.
E_m=E_k+E_p
Now having information on the speed at the lowest point we can say that the energy of the system at this point is purely kinetic:
E_m=Ek=\frac{1}{2}mv^2
Where m is the mass of the pendulum. Because of conservation of energy, the total energy at maximum height won't change, but at this point the energy will be purely potential energy instead.
E_m=E_p
This is the part where we exploit the Energy's conservation, I'm really insisting on this fact right here but it's very very important, The totam energy Em was
E_M=\frac{1}{2}mv^2
It hasn't changed! So inserting this into the equation relating the total energy at the highest point we'll have:
E_p=mgh=E_m=\frac{1}{2}mv^2
Solving for h gives us:
h=\frac{v^2}{2g}.
It doesn't depend on mass!

skad [1K]

The option that could be the hypothesis for this experiment is that D. Abstract paintings may elicit feelings of stress as students try to determine the meanings of the paintings; therefore, abstract paintings may cause college students to report lower feelings of peace.

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

It should be noted that a hypothesis simply means the proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence.

From the information, Smith is conducting an experiment to determine if paintings of landscapes produce more peaceful feelings than abstract paintings.

Therefore, the option that could be the hypothesis for this experiment is that abstract paintings may elicit feelings of stress as students try to determine the meanings of the paintings; therefore, abstract paintings may cause college students to report lower feelings of peace.

4. A rock is thrown from the edge of the top of a 100 m tall building at some unknown angle above the horizontal. The rock strik
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projectile be v and angle of throw be θ.

The projectile takes 5 s to touch the ground during which period it falls vertically by 100 m

considering its vertical displacement

h = - ut +1/2 g t²

100 = - vsinθ x 5 + .5 x 9.8 x 5²

5vsinθ =  222.5

vsinθ = 44.5

It covers 160 horizontally in 5 s

vcosθ x 5 = 160

v cosθ = 32

squaring and adding

v²sin²θ +v² cos²θ = 44.4² + 32²

v² = 1971.36 + 1024

v = 54.73 m /s

Write a simple rule that will tell a person how many water molecule will be lost while putting monosaccharides together to form
belka [17]
<span>For hydrolysis to monosaccharides, one molecule of a disaccharide needs only one molecule of water. C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O = C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose) Structurally, a disaccharide molecule may be viewed as a product formed by the condensation of two molecules of monosaccharides with the elimination of a water molecule. So, only one H2O molecule is needed for the reverse process.</span>
