The bigclaw snapping shrimp shown in (Figure 1) is aptly named--it has one big claw that snaps shut with remarkable speed. The p

art of the claw that moves rotates through a 90∘ angle in 1.3 ms. We assume that the claw is 1.5 cm long and that it undergoes a constant angular acceleration. (you don't need figure to solve problem)

1) 1.86\cdot 10^6 rad/s^2

2) 2418 rad/s

3) 27000 m/s^2

4) 36.3 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The angular acceleration of an object in rotation is the rate of change of angular velocity.

It can be calculated using the following suvat equation for angular motion:

\theta=\omega_i t +\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

where:

\theta is the angular displacement

\omega_i is the initial angular velocity

t is the time

\alpha is the angular acceleration

In this problem we have:

\theta=90^{\circ} = \frac{\pi}{2}rad is the angular displacement

t = 1.3 ms = 0.0013 s is the time elapsed

\omega_i = 0 is the initial angular velocity

Solving for \alpha, we find:

\alpha = \frac{2(\theta-\omega_i t)}{t^2}=\frac{2(\pi/2)-0}{0.0013}=1.86\cdot 10^6 rad/s^2

2)

For an object in accelerated rotational motion, the final angular speed can be found by using another suvat equation:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

where

\omega_i is the initial angular velocity

t is the time

\alpha is the angular acceleration

In this problem we have:

t = 1.3 ms = 0.0013 s is the time elapsed

\omega_i = 0 is the initial angular velocity

\alpha = 1.86\cdot 10^6 rad/s is the angular acceleration

Therefore, the final angular speed is:

\omega_f = 0 + (1.86\cdot 10^6)(0.0013)=2418 rad/s

3)

The tangential acceleration is related to the angular acceleration by the following formula:

a_t = \alpha r

where

a_t is the tangential acceleration

\alpha is the angular acceleration

r is the distance of the point from the centre of rotation

Here we want to find the tangential acceleration of the tip of the claw, so:

\alpha = 1.86\cdot 10^6 rad/s is the angular acceleration

r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m is the distance of the tip of the claw from the axis of rotation

Substituting,

a_t=(1.86\cdot 10^6)(0.015)=27900 m/s^2

4)

Since the tip of the claw is moving by uniformly accelerated motion, we can find its final speed using the suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

u is the initial linear speed

a is the tangential acceleration

t is the time elapsed

Here we have:

a=27900 m/s^2 (tangential acceleration)

u = 0 m/s (it starts from rest)

t = 1.3 ms = 0.0013 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

v=0+(27900)(0.0013)=36.3 m/s

Which best describes a major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes? they are centered at the poles?
Arturiano [62]
<span>A major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes is that they are located in the same geographic area. Most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma.</span>

Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves ?

Direction!

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)

An electron, moving south, enters a uniform magnetic field. Because of this uniform magnetic field, the electron curves upward.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Towards the west

Explanation:

Magnetic force is the interaction between a moving charged particle and a magnetic field.

Magnetic force is given as

F = q (V × B)

Where F is the magnetic force

q is the charge

V is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

V×B means the cross product of the velocity and the magnetic field

NOTE:

i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k.  j×i=-k

j×k=i.  k×j=-i

k×i=j.  i×k=-j

So, if the electron is moving southward, then, it implies that the velocity of it motion is southward, so the electron is in the positive z-direction

Also, the electron is curved upward due to the magnetic field, this implies that the force field is directed up in the positive y direction.

Then,

V = V•k

F = F•j

Then, apply the theorem

F •j = q ( V•k × B•x)

Let x be the unknown

From vector k×i =j.

This shows that x = i

Then, the magnetic field point in the direction of positive x axis, which is towards the west

You can as well use the Fleming right hand rule
