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

Let the displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200). Find the total displacement, instantaneous velocity and ins
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

A.) 39.5 m

B.) 0

C.) 60m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that a displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200).

To Find the total displacement,

Reduce everything by dividing them by 5

X(t) = 4t^2 - 3t + 40 ...... (1)

For instantaneous velocity, differentiate x(t). That is,

dy/dt = 60t - 15 ...... (2)

But dy/dt = velocity.

If dy/dt = 0, then

60t - 15 = 0

60t = 15

t = 15/60

t = 0.25s

Substitutes t in equation (1)

Total displacement will be

X(t) = 4(0.25)^2 - 3(0.25) + 40

X(t) = 0.25 - 0.75 + 40

Total displacement = 39.5 m

To calculate instantaneous velocity, substitute t into equation (2)

V = 60 (0.25) - 15

V = 0.

and to find instantaneous acceleration, differentiate dv/dt

dv/dt = 60

Therefore, acceleration = 60 m/s^2

A particular 12 V car battery can send a total charge of 110 A·h (ampere-hours) through a circuit, from one terminal to the othe
DiKsa [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)

Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;

=> Q = 110A·h

=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h          [1 hour = 3600 seconds]

=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s

=> Q = 396000A·s

=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C

Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;

E = Q x V           -----------------(i)

Where;

Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C

V = electric potential = 12V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12

E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J

E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J

The third one pls help
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

20 ms¯¹

Explanation:

3. Determination of the final velocity

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration (a) = 5 ms¯²

Initial velocity (u) = 0 ms¯¹

Final velocity (v) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the change in velocity per unit time.

Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Acceleration (a) = final velocity – Initial velocity / time

a = v – u / t

With the above formula, we can obtain the final velocity of the car as follow:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration (a) = 5 ms¯²

Initial velocity (u) = 0 ms¯¹

Final velocity (v) =?

a = v – u / t

5 = v – 0 / 4

5 = v / 4

Cross multiply

v = 5 × 4

v = 20 ms¯¹

Thus, the final velocity of the car is 20 ms¯¹
