Answer:

C

Explanation:

Sound waves speed up noticeably when moving through a solid or liquid, because all it is is just particles colliding; and particles are way closer together with those states of matter.

The speed of light can change when moving through different substances, but this is dependent on complicated factors such as frequency, polarization, intensity, et. cetera

The important part is that it does change speed, so your answer is C.

Hope this helps!

The maximum angular speed of the roller is 3.47rad/a,  

the maximum tangential speed of the point an the rim of the roller is 1.47m/s,

the time t should the driven force be removed from the roller so that the roller does not reverse its direction of rotation is t = 2.78s,

<h3>What does tangential speed refer to?</h3>

Any item moving along a circular path has a linear component to its speed called tangential velocity. An object's velocity is always pointed tangentially when it travels in a circle at a distance r from the center. The word for this is tangential velocity.

To calculate the tangential speed, divide the circumference by the time required to complete one spin. For instance, if it takes 12 seconds to complete one rotation, divide 18.84 by 12 to get 1.57 feet per second as the tangential velocity.

(a) angular speed w = dθ/dt = 5t - 1.8t^2

dw/dt = 5 - 3.6t = 0 for max w

so max w occurs at t = 5/3.6 s = 1.39s

so w max = 5*1.39 - 1.8*(1.39)^2 = 3.47 rad/s

(b) tangential speed v = r*w

r = D/2 = 0.5m

so v = 0.5*w = 1.74 m/s

(c) w is positive until 5t = 1.8t^2

so t = 5/1.8s = 2.78s (or t = 0 invalid)

After t = 2.87s, w is negative (starts reversing direction of rotation)

Driving force would actually have to be removed some time before t=2.78s because the roller can't stop instantaneously, but insufficient info to calculate this.

(d) Up to t = 2.78s, θ = 2.5*(2.78)^2 - 0.6*(2.78)^3 rad = 33.95 rad = 5.40 rotations

Therefore,

A) 3.47rad/a

B) 1.47m/s

C) t = 2.78s

D) 5.4 rotation

A uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a wire loop. If the loop accelerates in the direction of the field, wi
Nataly [62]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

If the coil is accelerated parallel to the magnetic field, it means also that the force on the coil acts parallel to the field. For current to be induced in a coil, a basic condition must be met which is that the directions of force (acceleration) and the magnetic field must be perpendicular to each other. This brings about current being induced in a direction perpendicular to bothering the directions of the force acting on the coil and the that of the magnetic field. This current would flow through the coil in either a clockwise or anticlockwise manner.

Since the coil is accelerated parallel to the magnetic field, no current is induced in it.
