A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration (a) consist in two components, <em>radial</em> (a_{r}) and <em>tangential</em> (a_{t}), in meters per square second:

a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r (1)

a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}} (3)

Where:

r - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

\omega - Angular speed, in radians per second.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t (4)

Where:

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

If we know that r = 0.1\,m, \alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}, \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s} and t = 0.60\,s, then the total linear acceleration is:

\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t

\omega = 1.2\,\frac{rad}{s}

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

a_{r} = 0.144\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r

a_{t} = 0.2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

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

a \approx 0.246\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Which statement best describes perigee?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth  --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun  --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

Rami uses a disposable camera that has a flash. When he wants to take a picture, he holds a button and hears a rising whining so
ivann1987 [24]
<span>It stores energy and delivers it in a short burst.

The whirring sound is produced by the charging of the capacitor. A capacitor is an electrical component which is capable of storing charge. When the capacitor stores charge, it is storing energy. After doing so, the capacitor releases the electrical energy that it had stored as light energy, which is seen as the flash of the camera. It must do so in a burst, because the intensity of the flash is very high and would require a high amount of energy to maintain.

What type of acceleration does an object moving with constant speed in a circular path experience?Select one:A) constant acceler
olga_2 [115]

ANSWER:

D) centripetal acceleration.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

When a body performs a uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes at every instant. This variation is experienced by the linear vector, due to a force called centripetal, directed towards the center of the circumference that gives rise to the centripetal acceleration.

Therefore, the answer is centripetal acceleration.
