Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 3.33 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a

Troyanec [42]

Answer: 6.47m/s

Explanation:

The tangential speed can be defined in terms of linear speed. The linear speed is the distance traveled with respect to time taken. The tangential speed is basically, the linear speed across a circular path.

The time taken for 1 revolution is, 1/3.33 = 0.30s

velocity of the wheel = d/t

Since d is not given, we find d by using formula for the circumference of a circle. 2πr. Thus, V = 2πr/t

V = 2π * 0.309 / 0.3

V = 1.94/0.3

V = 6.47m/s

The tangential speed of the tack is 6.47m/s

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?

Elina [12.6K]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to $9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.
