Answer:

vps = vbr + vrs - vpb

Explanation:

  • If the passenger were at rest, his speed relative to the shore will be identical to the boat's, as follows:
  • vps = vbr + vrs
  • As he is moving in a direction opposite to the boat's, his velocity relative to the shore must be less than if he were at rest, in the same quantity that he was moving opposite to the boat, as follows:
  • vps = vbr+ vrs -vpb

N76 [4]

Answer:

59.4 meters

Explanation:

The correct question statement is :

A floor polisher has a rotating disk that has a 15-cm radius. The disk rotates at a constant angular velocity of 1.4 rev/s and is covered with a soft material that does the polishing. An operator holds the polisher in one place for 4.5 s, in order to buff an especially scuff ed area of the floor. How far (in meters) does a spot on the outer edge of the disk move during this time?

Solution:

We know for a circle of radius r and θ angle by an arc of length S at the center,

S=rθ

This gives

θ=S/r

also we know angular velocity

ω=θ/t    where t is time

or

θ=ωt

and we know

1 revolution =2π radians

From this we have

angular velocity ω = 1.4 revolutions per sec =  1.4×2π radians /sec = 1.4×3.14×2×= 8.8 radians / sec

Putting values of ω and time t in

θ=ωt

we have

θ= 8.8 rad / sec × 4.5 sec

θ= 396 radians

We are given radius r = 15 cm = 15 ×0.01 m=0.15 m (because 1 m= 100 cm and hence, 1 cm = 0.01 m)

put this value of θ and r  in

S=rθ

we have

S= 396 radians ×0.15 m=59.4 m

So basically the objects would be sandpaper and smooth metal, the sandpaper can indirectly touch the metal since it’s so smooth and it won’t cause any temp change either

Calculate potential energy
IrinaVladis [17]
The potential energy of an object is defined by the equation: PE = mgh, where m = the mass of the object, g = the gravitational acceleration and h = the object's height above the ground.
