peach pie in a 9.00 in diameter plate is placed upon a rotating tray. Then, the tray is rotated such that the rim of the pie pla

zavuch27 [327]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the peach pie, d = 9 inches

Radius of the pie, r = 4.5 inches

The tray is rotated such that the rim of the pie plate moves through a distance of 183 inches, d = 183 inches

Let $\theta$ is the angular distance that the pie plate has moved through.

It is given by :

$\theta=\dfrac{d}{r}$

$\theta=\dfrac{183}{4.5}$

$\theta=40.66\ radian$

Since, 1 radian = 57.29 degrees

$\theta=2329.64\ degrees$

Since, 1 radian = 0.159155 revolution

$\theta=6.47124\ revolution$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1100 kgkg safe is 2.4 mm above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compres

Drupady [299]

Answer:

191.36 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The Potential Energy of the safe = Energy of the spring when it was compressed.

mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the safe, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the save above the heavy duty spring , k = spring constant, e = compression

Making k the subject of the equation,

k =2mgh/e²................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1100 kg, h = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, e = 0.52 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(1100)(9.8)(0.0024)/0.52²

k = 51.744/0.2704

k = 191.36 N/m

Hence the spring constant of the heavy-duty spring = 191.36 N/m

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3

hodyreva [135]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) $3.7\times 10^2J/^oC$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the energy or heat.

Formula used :

$E=V\times I\times t$

where,

E = energy (in joules)

V = voltage (in volt)

I = current (in ampere)

t = time (in seconds)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$E=(3.6V)\times (2.6A)\times (350s)$

$E=3276J$

Now we have to calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

Formula used :

$C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{E}{T_{final}-T_{initial}}$

where,

C = heat capacity of the calorimeter

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $20.3^oC$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $29.1^oC$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$C=\frac{3276J}{(29.1-20.3)^oC}$

$C=372.27J/^oC=3.7\times 10^2J/^oC$

Therefore, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is, $3.7\times 10^2J/^oC$
