The edge of a flying disc with a radius of 0.13 m spins with a tangential speed of 3.3 m/s. The centripetal acceleration of the

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Radius, r = 0.13m

Velocity, v = 3.3m/s

To find centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;

$Acceleration, a = \frac {v^{2}}{r}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Centripetal \; acceleration, a = \frac {3.3^{2}}{0.13}$

$Centripetal \; acceleration, a = \frac {10.89}{0.13}$

Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the edge of the disc is 83.77 m/s².

a bus is moving at 22m/s [E] for 12s. Then the bus driver slows down at 1.2m/s2 [W] until the bus stops. Determine the total dis

KatRina [158]

The total displacement is equal to the total distance. For the east or E direction, the distance is determined using the equation:

d = vt = (22 m/s)(12 s) = 264 m

For the west or W direction, we use the equations:
a = (v - v₀)/t
d = v₀t + 0.5at²

Because the object slows down, the acceleration is negative. So,
-1.2 m/s² = (0 m/s - 22 m/s)/t
t = 18.33 seconds
d = (22 m/s)(18.33 s) + 0.5(-1.2 m/s²)(18.33 s)²
d = 201.67 m

Thus,
Total Displacement = 264 m + 201.67 m = 465.67 or approximately 4.7×10² m.

A long, East-West-oriented power cable carrying an

Alla [95]

Answer:

200A

Explanation:

Given that

the distance between earth surface and power cable d = 8m

when the current is flowing through cable , the magnitude flux density at the surface is 15μT

when the current flow throught is zero the magnitude flux density at the surface is 20μT

The change in flux density due to the current flowing in the power cable is

B = 20μT - 15μT

B =5μT -----(1)

The expression of magnitude flux density produced by the current carrying cable is

$B=\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi d}$ -----(2)

Substitute the value of flux density

B from eqn 1 and eqn 2

$\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi d}=5\times 10^-^6\\\\\frac{(4\pi \times 10^-^7)I}{2 \pi (8)} =5\times 10^-^6\\\\I=200A$

Therefore, the magnitude of current I is 200A

Driving on asphalt roads entails very little rolling resistance, so most of the energy of the engine goes to overcoming air resi

Bad White [126]

A) Agreed.
b) Value agreed but units should be W (watts). 

c) Here's one method... 

15 miles = 24140 m 

1 gallon of gasoline contains 1.4×10⁸ J. 

So moving a distance of 24140m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸ J 

Therefore moving a distance of 1m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸/24140 = 5800 J 

Overcoming rolling resitance for 1m requires (useful) work = force x distance = 1000x1 = 1000J 

So 5800J (in the gasoline) provides 1000J (overcoming rolling resistance) of useful work for each metre moved. 

Efficiency = useful work/total energy supplied 
= 1000/5800 
= 0.17 (=17%)
