Refer to the diagram shown.

There are twelve 5-minute divisions.
Each 5-minute division is equal to 360°/12 = 30°.

By convention, angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
The angular position of the minute hand at 2:55 is
θ = 90° + 30° = 120°

Because 360° = 2π radians, therefore
θ = (120/360)*2π = (2π)/3 radians = 2.0944 radians

Answer: (2π)/3 radians ofr 2.0944 radians.

In an arcade game a 0.099 kg disk is shot across a frictionless horizontal surface by compressing it against a spring and releas

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of $m = 0.099$ kg

Spring constant $k = 244 \frac{N}{m}$

Compression of spring $x = 4 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation theorem,

Spring potential energy converted into kinetic energy,

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{k x^{2} }{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{244 \times 16 \times 10^{-4} }{0.099} }$

$v = 1.98 \frac{m}{s}$

Therefore, the speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

A 2.0 kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The block’s initial speed is 10 m/s. What vert

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Vertical Height = 0.784 meter, Speed back at starting point = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

V is the overall velocity vector, $Vi$ and $Ui$ are its initial vertical and horizontal components

$R = 10 m/s\\ Projection Angle (theta) = 30 degrees\\Vi = 10*sin(30) = 5 m/s\\Ui = 10*cos(30) = 8.66 m/s$

To find:

Max Height $h$ achieved

Calculation:

1) Using the $3^{rd}$ equation of motion, we know

$2*a*s = Vf^{2} - Vi^{2}$

2) In terms of gravity $g$ height $h$ and the vertical component of Velocity $Vf , Vi$ .

3) As $Vf = 0$ as at maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero maximum height achieved

$2*g*h = Vf^{2} -Vi^{2}$

putting values

4) $h = 0.784 m/s$

5) As for the speed when it reaches back its starting point, it will have a speed similar to its launching speed, the reason being the absence of air friction (Air drag)

A spring attached to the ceiling is stretched 2.45 meters by a four kilogram mass. If the mass is set in motion in a medium that

denpristay [2]

Answer:

d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x is the required differential equation.

Explanation:

Since the spring force F = kx where k is the spring constant and x its extension = 2.45 equals the weight of the 4 kg mass,

F = mg

kx = mg

k = mg/x

= 4 kg × 9.8 m/s²/2.45 m
