Answer:

y = 43.55 + 2.15t

Explanation:

We were told that in 1983, the per capita consumption was 37.1 pounds, and in 1989 it was 50 pounds.

If we assume t = 0 corresponds to year 1980. Then, for 1983 it will be t = 3 and for 1989,it will be t = 9.

Thus, expressing the information as ordered pairs, we have; (3,37. 1) and (9,50).

Let us now find slope of the linear function:

m1 = (y2 - y1)/(t2 - t1)

m1 = (50 - 37.1)/(9 - 3)

m1 = 2.15

So, we can find the linear equation as;

y - 37.1 = 2.15(t - 3)

y = 37.1 + 2.15t - 6.45

y = 43.55 + 2.15t

A coin of mass m rests on a turntable a distance r from the axis of rotation. The turntable rotates with a frequency of f. What

Crank

Answer:

$\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}$

Explanation:

$N$ = normal force acting on the coin

Normal force in the upward direction balances the weight of the coin, hence

$N = mg$

$f$ = frequency of rotation

Angular velocity of turntable is hence given as

$w = 2\pi f$

$r$ = distance from the axis of rotation

$\mu$ = minimum coefficient of static friction

static frictional force is given as

$f = \mu N\\f = \mu mg$

The static frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force , hence

Centripetal force = Static frictional force

$m r w^{2} = \mu mg\\r w^{2} = \mu g\\\\\mu = \frac{r w^{2}}{g} \\\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}$

19. A mass of gas has a volume of 4 m3, a temperature of 290 K, and an absolute pressure of 475 kPa. When the gas is allowed to

Aleks [24]

Recall this gas law:

$\frac{P₁V₁}{T₁}$ = $\frac{P₂V}{T₂}$

P₁ and P₂ are the initial and final pressures.

V₁ and V₂ are the initial and final volumes.

T₁ and T₂ are the initial and final temperatures.

Given values:

P₁ = 475kPa

V₁ = 4m³, V₂ = 6.5m³

T₁ = 290K, T₂ = 277K

Substitute the terms in the equation with the given values and solve for Pf:

$\frac{475*4}{290} = \frac{P₂*6.5}{277}$

An astronaut stands on the surface of an asteroid. The astronaut then jumps such that the astronaut is no longer in contact with

Anna71 [15]

(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.

Reason :

All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.
