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

Answer:

Wc = 7.84    weight of crown

Ww = 7.84 - 6.86 = .98       weight of water displaced

Density = 7.84 / .98 = 8     crown is 8 X that of water

Since gold has a density of 19.3 that of water the crown is certainly not 100 percent (if any) gold

The logarithm of x, written log(x), tells you the power to which you would raise 10 to get x. So, if y=log(x), then x=10^y. It i
fomenos

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the rules and concepts related to logarithmic operations.

From the definition of logarithm we know that,

Log_{10}(10) = 1

In this way for the given example we have that a logarithm with base 10 expressed in the problem can be represented as,

log_{10}(1,000,000)

We can express this also as,

log_{10}(10^6)

By properties of the logarithms we know that the logarithm of a power of a number is equal to the product between the exponent of the power and the logarithm of the number.

So this can be expressed as

6*log_{10}(10)

Since the definition of the base logarithm 10 of 10 is equal to 1 then

6*1=6

The value of the given logarithm is equal to 6

What is the product of an object’s mass and velocity? momentum net force kinetic energy
kaheart [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is momentum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity.

It is a term which describes the relationship between the mass of an object and the velocity of an object.

Momentum can be represented in the form of an equation as:

P = mv

where P is the momentum,

m is the mass of the object; and v is the velocity of that object.

Black_prince [1.1K]
For the answer to the question above, let us first start with relaxation time. it is the absence of an external electric field, the free electrons in a metallic substance will move in random directions so that the resultant velocity of free electrons in any direction is equal to zero.
