Answer:

Axis rotation to determine the length of a day

Explanation:

The length of time it takes a planet to complete one full rotation on it's axis is what we would measure as being one day. On Earth, it takes slightly less than 24 hours to rotate on its axis and this is one day.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Option D: Four times the original speed.

Explanation:

A centripetal force accelerates a body by changing the direction of the body's  velocity without changing the body's speed.

The speed(v) is therefore constant, thereby making the magnitudes of the of the acceleration and the force constant.

The formula used to calculate the Centripetal force is given below:

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

where F represents the Centripetal force, m represents the mass of the moving body, v represents the speed or velocity at which the body is moving and r represents the radius.

Making the speed the subject of the formula: v^{2} = \frac{rF}{m} \\

Therefore, when the radius (r) is changed to 4r, i.e r = 4r

speed(v) becomes v^2 = \frac{4rF}{m}

After comparing, the difference between the speeds is Four times the original speed.

A flywheel of diameter 1.2 m has a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s2. the tangential acceleration of a point on its ri
vodka [1.7K]
We know that tangential acceleration is related with radius and angular acceleration according the following equation:  
at = r * aa  
where at is tangential acceleration (in m/s2), r is radius (in m) aa is angular acceleration (in rad/s2)  
So the radius is r = d/2 = 1.2/2 = 0.6 m  
Then at = 0.6 * 5 = 3 m/s2  
Tangential acceleration of a point on the flywheel rim is 3 m/s2

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The time is 110.16\times10^{-3}\ sec

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor = 120 μF

Voltage = 150 V

Resistance = 1.8 kΩ

Current = 50 mA

We need to calculate the discharge current

Using formula of discharge current

i_{0}=\dfrac{V_{0}}{R}

Put the value into the formula

i_{0}=\dfrac{150}{1.8\times10^{3}}

i_{0}=83.3\times10^{-3}\ A

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of current

i=\dfrac{V_{0}}{R}e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}

Put the value into the formula

50=\dfrac{150}{1.8\times10^{3}}e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}

\dfrac{50}{83.3}=e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}

\dfrac{-t}{RC}=ln(0.600)

t=0.51\times1.8\times10^{3}\times120\times10^{-6}

t=110.16\times10^{-3}\ sec

Hence, The time is 110.16\times10^{-3}\ sec
