Answer:

Its angular acceleration is zero.

Explanation:

If the angular velocity of an object (in this case the toy) is constant, then its angular acceleration will be zero. Why? Because angular acceleration is the time rate change of angular velocity. Since there is no change, this brings the answer to zero.

Andrei [34K]

<span> d = r*t is the basic distance equation
d = 6000 km
t with the tail wind = 6 hr
r with the tail wind = speed of the plane + wind speed = s + w
t with the head wind = 7.5 hr
r with the head wind = speed of the plane - wind speed = s-w
(s+w)*6 = 6000
(s-w)*7.5 = 6000
s + w = 1000
s - w = 800
</span><span> 2s = 1800
s = 900 km/h
s + w = 1000
w = 100
Check the anwer by calculating the return trip.
(900-100) * 7.5 = 800 * 7.5
800 * 7.5 = 6000 km
Answer: The rate of the jet in still air is 900 km/h. The rate of the wind is 100 km/hr.</span>

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

(a) 181.05 m/s²

(b) 13.2°

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the circle (R) = 0.610 m

Angular acceleration (α) = 67.6 rad/s²

Angular speed (ω) = 17.0 rad/s

(a)

Radial acceleration of the ball is given as:

$a_r=\omega^2R$

Plug in the given values and solve for $a_r$ . This gives,

$a_r=(17.0\ rad/s)^2\times (0.610\ m)\\\\a_r=289\times 0.610\ m/s^2\\\\a_r=176.29\ m/s^2$

Now, tangential acceleration is given by the formula:

$a_t=R\alpha$

Plug in the given values and solve for $a_t$ . This gives,

$a_t=(0.610\ m)(67.6\ rad/s^2)\\\\a_t=41.236\ m/s^2$

Now, the magnitude of total acceleration is given as the square root of the sum of the squares of tangential and centripetal accelerations. Therefore,

$a_{Total}=\sqrt{(a_r)^2+(a_t)^2}$
