A top is a toy that is made to spin on its pointed end by pulling on a string wrapped around the body of the top. The string has

a length of 51 cm and is wrapped around the top at a place where its radius is 1.8 cm. The thickness of the string is negligible. The top is initially at rest. Someone pulls the free end of the string, thereby unwinding it and giving the top an angular acceleration of 10 rad/s2. What is the final angular velocity of the top when the string is completely unwound

Given Information:

Angular displacement = θ = 51 cm = 0.51 m

Radius = 1.8 cm = 0.018 m

Initial angular velocity = ω₁ = 0 m/s

Angular acceleration = α = 10 rad/s ²

Required Information:

Final angular velocity = ω₂ = ?

Answer:

Final angular velocity = ω₂ = 21.6 rad/s

Explanation:

We know from the equations of kinematics,

ω₂² = ω₁² + 2αθ

Where ω₁ is the initial angular velocity that is zero since the toy was initially at rest, α is angular acceleration and θ is angular displacement.

ω₂² = (0)² + 2αθ

ω₂² = 2αθ

ω₂ = √(2αθ)

We know that the relation between angular displacement and arc length is given by

s = rθ

θ = s/r

θ = 0.51/0.018

θ = 23.33 radians

finally, final angular velocity is

ω₂ = √(2αθ)

ω₂ = √(2*10*23.33)

ω₂ = 21.6 rad/s

Therefore, the top will be rotating at 21.6 rad/s when the string is completely unwound.

A computer is purchased for $2816 and depreciates at a constant rate to $0 in 8 years. Find a formula for the value, V , of the

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The formula its $f(t) \ = \ - \ 352 \ \frac{\$ }{years} \ t \ + \ \$ \ 2816$
After 5 years, the computer value its $ 1056

Explanation:

<h3>Obtaining the formula</h3>

We wish to find a formula that

Starts at 2816. $f(0 \ years) \ = \ \$ \ 2816$
Reach 0 at 8 years. $f( 8 \ years) \ = \ \$ \ 0$
Depreciates at a constant rate. m

We can cover all this requisites with a straight-line equation. (an straigh-line its the only curve that has a constant rate of change) :

$f(t) \ = \ m\ t \ + \ b$ ,

where m its the slope of the line and b give the place where the line intercepts the <em>y</em> axis.

So, we can use this formula with the data from our problem. For the first condition:

$f ( 0 \ years ) = m \ (0 \ years) + b = \$ \ 2816$

$b = \$ \ 2816$

So, b = $ 2816.

Now, for the second condition:

$f ( 8 \ years ) = m \ (8 \ years) + \$ \ 2816 = \$ \ 0$

$m \ (8 \ years) = \ - \$ \ 2816$

$m = \frac{\ - \$ \ 2816}{8 \ years}$

$m = \frac{\ - \$ \ 2816}{8 \ years}$

$m = \ - \ 352 \frac{\$ }{years}$

So, our formula, finally, its:

$f(t) \ = \ - \ 352 \ \frac{\$ }{years} \ t \ + \ \$ \ 2816$

<h3>After 5 years</h3>

Now, we just use <em>t = 5 years</em> in our formula

$f(5 \ years) \ = \ - \ 352 \ \frac{\$ }{years} \ 5 \ years \ + \ \$ \ 2816$

$f(5 \ years) \ = \ - \$ \ 1760 + \ \$ \ 2816$

$f(5 \ years) \ = $ \ 1056$

Two long, straight wires are separated by 0.120 m. The wires carry currents of 11 A in opposite directions, as the drawing indic

rewona [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.83 x $10^{-5}$ T.

Explanation:

The flow of an electric current in a straight wire induces magnetic field around the wire. When current is flowing through two wires in the same direction, a force of attraction exists between the wires. But if the current flows in opposite directions, the force of repulsion is felt by the wires.

In the given question, the direction of flow of current through the wires is opposite, thus both wires applies the same field on each other. The result to repulsion between them.

The magnetic field (B) between the given wires can be determined by:

B = $\frac{U_{o}I }{2\pi r}$

where: I is the current, r is the distance between the wires and $U_{0}$ is the magnetic field constant.

But, I = 11 A, r = 0.12 m and $U_{0}$ = 4 $\pi$ x $10^{-7}$ Tm/A

So that;

B = $\frac{4\pi *10^{-7}*11 }{2\pi *0.12}$

= 1.8333 x $10^{-5}$

B = 1.83 x $10^{-5}$ T

Conduction of a nerve impulse would be the fastest in _________

Vinil7 [7]

The options of the given are:

A. A large diameter myelinated fiber

B. A small diameter myelinated fiber

C. A large unmyelinated fiber

D. A small unmyelinated fiber

E. A small fiber with multiple Schwann cells

Answer: Option A, A large diameter myelinated fiber.

Explanation:

The conduction of the nerve impulse would be greatest in the myelinated fiber because the main function of the myelin sheath is to increase the speed of the impulse at which the electrical signals propagate.

In case of the unmyelinated sheath the nerve impulse travels slowly as the conduction waves but in case of the large diameter myelinated sheath the signals travel via saltatory conduction( hop)

In this type of propagation the signals are transferred from the node of Ranvier in one neuron to next node which increases the overall velocity of the action potentials.

A student exerts a force of 500 n pushing a box 10 m across the floor in 4 s. how much work does the student perform?

gregori [183]

Work = Force * distance
W = Fd

Given F = 500 N, d = 10 m
W = (500)(10)
W = 5000 J

The work done is 500 Joules. The time of 4 s is irrelevant in this case.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

utilization / effects

Explanation:

Utilization equipment are those equipment that makes use of electric energy for the purpose of chemical, electronic, lighting, heating, electro-mechanical or other alike purposes. Hence utilization best suits the first question mark in the question. Secondly, there are associated effects when current flows through a conductor, not responses.
