Answer:

-0.314 rad/s²

197.39 m/s²

197.49 m/s² and 1.822° counterclockwise.

Explanation:

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\theta = Angle of rotation

t = Time taken

R = Radius = 20 m

\omega_i=0.5\times 2\pi\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\pi

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{0-\pi}{10}\\\Rightarrow a=-0.314\ rad/s^2

Angular acceleration of the turbine is -0.314 rad/s²

Centripetal acceleration

a_c=\omega_i^2R\\\Rightarrow a_c=(\pi)^2\times 20\\\Rightarrow a_c=197.39\ m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration of the tip is 197.39 m/s²

Tangential acceleration

a_t=\alpha R\\\Rightarrow a_t=-0.314\times 20\\\Rightarrow a_t=-6.28\ m/s^2

Acceleration

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{197.39^2+(-6.28)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=197.49\ m/s^2

\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{|a_t|}{|a_c|}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{6.28}{197.39}\\\Rightarrow \theta=1.822^{\circ}

Magnitude and direction of the total linear acceleration of the tip of the blades is 197.49 m/s² and 1.822° counterclockwise.

A disk has a radius of 30 cm and a mass of 0.3 kg and is turning at 3.0 rev/s. A trickle of sand falls onto the disk at a distan
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Explanation:

Moment before = Moment after

I \omega_i = I \omega_f +mr^2 \omega_f\\\\mr^2 \omega_f = I \omega_i  - I \omega_f \\\\m = \frac{ I \omega_i  - I \omega_f}{r^2 \omega_f }

where;

I is moment of inertia = Mr² = 0.3 x (0.3)² = 0.027 kg.m²

substitute this in the above equation;

m = \frac{ 0.027[3(2 \pi)  - 2(2 \pi)]} {0.2^2 * 6\pi } = \frac{ 0.027[6 \pi  - 4\pi]} {0.2^2 * 4\pi }\\\\m = 0.3375kg

Therefore, the mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

A constant amount of charge passes through a conductor. How is current affected if the same amount of charge passes in less time
baherus [9]

Answer:

B. The current increases.

Explanation:

As we know that rate of flow of charge through the conductor is known as electric current

So we have

i = \frac{q}{t}

here we know that charge Q flowing through the conductor is constant while the time in which it passes through it is decreased

so we can say that the ratio of charge and time will increase

so here we have

i = increased

So correct answer will be

B. The current increases.

When hydrogen is fused into helium, energy is released from Choose one: A. the increase in pressure. B. the decrease in the grav
Tatiana [17]

The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms releases a huge amount of energy. So the correct choice is C. Conversion of mass to energy.

What is nuclear fusion?

When two small nuclei join to form a new nucleus, then this process is termed nuclear fusion. A huge amount of energy is released when there occurs nuclear fusion between the two nuclei. And a new element is formed.

It has been observed that the amount of energy released in nuclear fusion is equal to the mass difference between the mass of the formed nucleus and the total mass of old nuclei. Hence in the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus, the energy is released due to the conversion of mass into energy.

The pressure is increased to make the hydrogen atoms fuse but this change in pressure does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The magnitude of the gravitational field is too low and it does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The gravitational collapse does not occur between the two hydrogen atoms. This phenomenon occurs in celestial bodies so this also does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.
