Answer:
a. 0.21 rad/s2
b. 2.205 N
Explanation:
We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds
200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s
180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s
r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m
a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

So the friction torque is

The friction force is

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

Answer:
c) Water molecules melt into gas molecules.
Answer:
Electrical breakdown.
Explanation:
When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.
Answer:
μ = 0.18
Explanation:
Let's use Newton's second Law, the coordinate system is horizontal and vertical
Before starting to move the box
Y axis
N-W = 0
N = W = mg
X axis
F -fr = 0
F = fr
The friction force has the formula
fr = μ N
fr = μ m g
At the limit point just before starting the movement
F = μ m g
μ = F / m g
calculate
μ = 34.8 / (19.8 9.8)
μ = 0.18
