From Ohm's law . . . Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (120 volts) / (7.6 Amperes)

<em>Resistance = 15.8 Ω</em>

A record turntable is rotating at 33 rev/min. A watermelon seed is on the turntable 2.3 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) Calcul
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a) a_{r} = 0.275\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, b) \mu_{s} = 0.028, c) \mu_{s} = 0.036

Explanation:

a) The linear acceleration of the watermelon seed is:

a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r

a_{r} = \left[\left(33\,\frac{rev}{min} \right)\cdot \left(2\pi\,\frac{rad}{rev} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{60}\,\frac{min}{s} \right)\right]^{2}\cdot (0.023\,m)

a_{r} = 0.275\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

b) The watermelon seed is experimenting a centrifugal acceleration. The coefficient of static friction between the seed and the turntable is calculated by the Newton's Laws:

\Sigma F = \mu_{s}\cdot m\cdot g = m\cdot a

a = \mu_{s}\cdot g

\mu_{s} = \frac{a}{g}

\mu_{s} = \frac{0.275\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

\mu_{s} = 0.028

c) Angular acceleration experimented by the turntable is:

\alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{\Delta t}

\alpha = \frac{3.456\,\frac{rad}{s}-0\,\frac{rad}{s} }{0.36\,s}

\alpha = 9.6\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

The tangential acceleration experimented by the watermelon seed is:

a_{t} = \left(9.6\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.023\,m)

a_{t} = 0.221\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The linear acceleration experimented by the watermelon seed is:

a = \sqrt{a_{t}^{2}+a_{r}^{2}}

a = \sqrt{\left(0.221\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)^{2}+\left(0.275\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)^{2}}

a = 0.353\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The minimum coefficient of static friction is:

\mu_{s} = \frac{0.353\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

\mu_{s} = 0.036

What layer of atmosphere does planes fly?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: stratosphere

The stratosphere is the second to last layer of atmosphere to the Earth. It is about 40,000 feet above, and this is the range where planes fly. So, the answer is stratosphere.

Hope this helps!

What are some issues that governments must consider before passing conservation policies? Check all that apply.
Otrada [13]

Answer: cost to implement conservation policies

environmental implications

benefit versus the cost

Explanation:

The conservation policies involves certain instructions which are required to be followed by the human society at all levels so as to conserve resources and protect them for future. The following are the issues which government should be consider before passing the conservation policies this includes:

1. cost to implement conservation policies : The procedure and expenditure for the implementation of the policies should be under control of the desired budget so that the plan can be efficiently executed.

2.environmental implications : The government should be concerned about the implication of the policies on the environment. For example the preservation of an endangered species in control condition from an ecosystem can disturb the overall balance of an ecosystem.

3.benefit versus the cost: The government should concern before expending on the implementation of the policies the benefits and costs of the desired policies.

Using the diagram shown, what is the magnitude of the resultant of these three forces?
amid [387]

Explanation:

The x component of the resultant force is the sum of the x components of the individual forces.

Fₓ = 65.0 cos 30° − 20.0 sin 20° − 30.0

Fₓ = 19.5

The y component of the resultant force is the sum of the y components of the individual forces.

Fᵧ = 65.0 sin 30° − 20.0 cos 20°

Fᵧ = 13.7

The magnitude is found with Pythagorean theorem:

F² = Fₓ² + Fᵧ²

F² = (19.5)² + (13.7)²

F = 23.8
