250/4= 62.5 mph
to find the mph of a car, you need to divide the number of miles traveled by the hours that it took to travel that many miles
Answer:
a) K = 0.63 J, b) h = 0.153 m
Explanation:
a) In this exercise we have a physical pendulum since the rod is a material object, the angular velocity is
w² =
where d is the distance from the pivot point to the center of mass and I is the moment of inertia.
The rod is a homogeneous body so its center of mass is at the geometric center of the rod.
d = L / 2
the moment of inertia of the rod is the moment of a rod supported at one end
I = ⅓ m L²
we substitute
w =
w =
w =
w = 4.427 rad / s
an oscillatory system is described by the expression
θ = θ₀ cos (wt + Φ)
the angular velocity is
w = dθ /dt
w = - θ₀ w sin (wt + Ф)
In this exercise, the kinetic energy is requested in the lowest position, in this position the energy is maximum. For this expression to be maximum, the sine function must be equal to ±1
In the exercise it is indicated that at the lowest point the angular velocity is
w = 4.0 rad / s
the kinetic energy is
K = ½ I w²
K = ½ (⅓ m L²) w²
K = 1/6 m L² w²
K = 1/6 0.42 0.75² 4.0²
K = 0.63 J
b) for this part let's use conservation of energy
starting point. Lowest point
Em₀ = K = ½ I w²
final point. Highest point
Em_f = U = m g h
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ I w² = m g h
½ (⅓ m L²) w² = m g h
h = 1/6 L² w² / g
h = 1/6 0.75² 4.0² / 9.8
h = 0.153 m
Answer:
The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.27.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, start with identifying the forces at play here. First, the bug staying on the rotating turntable will be subject to the centripetal force constantly acting toward the center of the turntable (in absence of which the bug would leave the turntable in a straight line). Second, there is the force of friction due to which the bug can stick to the table. The friction force acts as an intermediary to enable the centripetal acceleration to happen.
Centripetal force is written as

with v the linear velocity and r the radius of the turntable. We are not given v, but we can write it as

with ω denoting the angular velocity, which we are given. With that, the above becomes:

Now, the friction force must be at least as much (in magnitude) as Fc. The coefficient (static) of friction μ must be large enough. How large?

Let's plug in the numbers. The angular velocity should be in radians per second. We are given rev/min, which can be easily transformed by a factor 2pi/60:

and so 45 rev/min = 4.71 rad/s.

A static coefficient of friction of at least be 0.27 must be present for the bug to continue enjoying the ride on the turntable.
