Answer:

Vectors are used in science to describe anything that has both a direction and a magnitude. They are usually drawn as pointed arrows, the length of which represents the vector's magnitude.

A bicycle wheel with radius 0.3 m rotates from rest to 3 rev/s in 5 s. What is the magnitude and direction of the total accelera

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Radius of bicycle wheel $r=0.3\ m$

Initial angular velocity $\omega _0=0$

It rotates 3 revolution in 5 s therefore

$\omega =2\pi 3=\6\pi =18.85\ rad/s$

using $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

where $\alpha =angular\ acceleration$

$\omega =Final\ angular\ velocity$

$t=time$

$\alpha =\frac{18.85}{5}=3.77 rad/s^2$

Total acceleration of any point will be a vector sum of tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration

$\omega at t=1$

$\omega =0+3.77\times 1=3.77 rad/s$

$a_c=\omega ^2\cdot r$

$a_c=(3.77)^2\cdot 0.3=4.26 m/s^2$

Tangential acceleration $a_t=\alpha \times r$

$a_t=3.77\times 0.3=1.13 m/s^2$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{a_t^2+a_c^2}$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{(1.13)^2+(4.26)^2}$

$a_{net}=4.41 m/s^2$

The propeller of an airplane is at rest when the pilot starts the engine; and its angular acceleration is a constant value. Two

Maurinko [17]

Answer:0.318 revolutions

Explanation:

Given

Initially Propeller is at rest i.e. $\omega _0=0 rad/s$

after $t=10 s$

$\omega =10 rad/s$

using $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

$10=0+\alpha \cdot 10$

$\alpha =1 rad/s^2$

Revolutions turned in 2 s

$\theta =\omega _0t+\frac{\alpha t^2}{2}$

$\theta =0+\frac{1\times 2^2}{2}$

$\theta =2 rad$

To get revolution $\frac{\theta }{2\pi }$

= $\frac{2}{2\pi}=0.318\ revolutions$

Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different

Paraphin [41]

We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.
