Use dimensional analysis to determine how the linear acceleration a in m/s2 of a particle traveling in a circle depends on some,

or all, of the following properties: the radius r of the circle, the angular frequency ω in s−1 with which the particle orbits about the circle, and the mass m of the particle. There is no dimensionless constant involved in the relation.

I have to say, i love this kind of problems.

So, we got the linear acceleration, as we all know, linear the acceleration its, in dimensional units:

[a]=[\frac{distance}{time^2}].

Now, we got the radius

[r] = [distance]

the angular frequency

[\omega] = \frac{1}{s}

and the mass

[m]=[mass].

Now, the acceleration doesn't have units of mass, so it can't depend on the mass of the particle.

The distance in the acceleration has exponent 1, and so does in the radius. As the radius its the only parameter that has units of distance, this means that the radius must appear with exponent 1. Lets write

a \propto r.

The time in the acceleration has exponent -2 As the angular frequency its the only parameter that has units of time, this means that the angular frequency must appear, but, the angular frequency has an exponent of -1, this means it must be squared

a \propto r \omega^2.

We are almost there. If this were any other problem, we would write:

a = A r \omega^2

where A its an dimensionless constant. Its common for this constants to appears if we need an conversion factor. If we wanted the acceleration in cm/s^2, for example. Luckily for us, the problem states that there is no dimensionless constant involved, so:

a = r \omega^2

When does total internal reflection occur?

Answer:

A

Explanation:

I believe it is A because reflection is usually like a mirror or in water the other ones described are refraction or conversion. Hope this helps! :)

UN BLOQUE TIENE DE DIMENSIONES AB = 4 cm, BC = 2.5 cm, BF = 6 cm Y UNA MASA DE 300 gr  DETERMINE SU VOLUMEN  HALLE SU DENSIDAD
torisob [31]

Responder:

- Volumen del bloque = 60cm³

- Densidad = 5g / cm³

Explicación:

Dada la dimensión del bloque

AB = 4 cm, BC = 2.5 cm y BF = 6 cm

Volumen del bloque = Largo × Ancho × Alto

Volumen del bloque = AB × BC × BF

Volumen del bloque = 4 × 2.5 × 6

Volumen del bloque = 60cm³

Dada la masa del bloque = 300 gramos

Densidad = Masa / Volumen

Densidad = 300g / 60cm³

Densidad = 5g / cm³

Algunos materiales que tienen una densidad de 5g / cm³ o cercanos son radio, germanio y europio con densidades de 5g / cm³, 5.3g / cm³ y 5.24g / cm³ respectivamente.

Answer:

D. Salt Weathering

Explanation:

Salt weathering is defined as a geomorphic process resulting in the physical disintegration of rocks or stones and  in the fretting of their surfaces. Often you tend to find the best examples of salt weathering in dessert  areas and coastal areas. You can find three distinct types of weathering which are biological weathering,  physical weathering, and chemical weathering.
