A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel d

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the disk, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

angular speed of the disk, ω = 100 rpm

time of motion, t = 30 s

The distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is calculated as follows;

$\theta = \omega t\\\\\theta = (100 \frac{rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 s} ) \times (30 s)\\\\\theta = 100 \pi \ rad\\\\d = \theta r\\\\d = 100\pi \ \times \ 0.5m\\\\d = 50 \pi \ m = 157.1 \ m$

Therefore, the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

A dielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area A = 30.0 cm2 , plate separation d = 9.00 mm and dielectric constant

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J$

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by

$C=\epsilon_0 k \frac{A}{d}$

where

ϵ0 = 8.85x10-12 C2/N.m2 is the vacuum permittivity

k = 3.00 is the dielectric constant

$A=30.0 cm^2 = 30.0\cdot 10^{-4}m^2$ is the area of the plates

d = 9.00 mm = 0.009 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

$C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)(3.00 ) \frac{30.0\cdot 10^{-4} m^2}{0.009 m}=8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F$

Now we can calculate the energy of the capacitor, given by:

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

C is the capacitance

V = 15.0 V is the potential difference

Substituting,

$U=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F)(15.0 V)^2=9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J$

The term "ideal gas" refers to a gas for which certain assumptions have been made. Which of the following is not such an assumpt

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

(A) Consists of a small number of tiny particles that are far apart- relative in their size.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is defined as a simplification of a real gas, with punctual particles, in which all collisions are elastic, with random displacements and with no attractive force between them.

The assumption of the particles being punctual make clear that they do not have size at all. So if they were far apart-relative in their size, they can not collide each other, that is why assumption (B) can not be possible (for that particular case).

It is clear that (A) is not an assumption for an ideal gas, because do not fit in any of its properties.

Elastic collision: It is a case in which the energy is conserved (Kinetic Energy).

Kinetic Energy: It is the energy that will have an object as a consequence of its movement.
