Error bars are used to show the error in a reported measurement. The reason why the error bars are smaller near the year 2000 than in the 1890s because the ways of measuring have changed majorly over the past 100 years. The ways of measuring 100 years ago were probably not as accurate as the ways of measuring today.
This graph shows data up to about 2010. So it couldn't have been drawn before 2010. OF COURSE the data from only 10 years earlier was more reliable than the data that was 120 years old ! It wasn't even measured the same way back then as it is now.
Incandescent light is a glowing white light produced by heat. An incandescent light bulb works by heating a filament in the bulb. Fluorescent light is a bright light produced by electricity flowing through a tube filled with ionized gas. Fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs
If the disk is initially at rest, and it is applied a constant force tangential to the rim, we can apply the following expression (that resembles Newton's 2nd law, applying to rigid bodies instead of point masses) as follows:
Where τ is the external torque applied to the body, I is the rotational inertia of the body regarding the axis of rotation, and α is the angular acceleration as a consequence of the torque.
Since the force is applied tangentially to the rim of the disk, it's perpendicular to the radius, so the torque can be calculated simply as follows:
τ = F*r (2)
For a solid uniform disk, the rotational inertia regarding an axle passing through its center is just I = m*r²/2 (3).
Replacing (2) and (3) in (1), we can solve for α, as follows:
Since the angular acceleration is constant, we can use the following kinematic equation:
Prior to solve it, we need to convert the angle rotated from revs to radians, as follows:
Replacing (6) in (5), taking into account that ω₀ = 0 (due to the disk starts from rest), we can solve for ωf, as follows:
Now, we know that there exists a fixed relationship the tangential speed and the angular speed, as follows:
where r is the radius of the circular movement. If we want to know the tangential speed of a point located on the rim of the disk, r becomes the radius of the disk, 0.200 m.
Replacing this value and (7) in (8), we get:
b)
There exists a fixed relationship between the tangential and the angular acceleration in a circular movement, as follows:
where r is the radius of the circular movement. In this case the point is located on the rim of the disk, so r becomes the radius of the disk.
Replacing this value and (4), in (9), we get:
Now, the resultant acceleration of a point of the rim, in magnitude, is the vector sum of the tangential acceleration and the radial acceleration.
The radial acceleration is just the centripetal acceleration, that can be expressed as follows:
Since we are asked to get the acceleration after the disk has rotated 0.2 rev, and we have just got the value of the angular speed after rotating this same angle, we can replace (7) in (11).
Since the point is located on the rim of the disk, r becomes simply the radius of the disk,, 0.200 m.
Replacing this value and (7) in (11) we get:
The magnitude of the resultant acceleration will be simply the vector sum of the tangential and the radial acceleration.
Since both are perpendicular each other, we can find the resultant acceleration applying the Pythagorean Theorem to both perpendicular components, as follows:
