Work = (force) x (distance)
If the distance is zero (the object doesn't move), then it
doesn't matter how great the force is. The work is still zero.
Answer:
θ=180°
Explanation:
The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.
Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:
- If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.
- If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.
Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).
Answer:
A) 12.57 m
B) 5 RPM
C) 3.142 m/s
Explanation:
A) Distance covered in 1 Revolution:
The formula that gives the relationship between the arc length or distance covered during circular motion to the angle subtended or the revolutions, is given as follows:
s = rθ
where,
s = distance covered = ?
r = radius of circle = 2 m
θ = Angle = 2π radians (For 1 complete Revolution)
Therefore,
s = (2 m)(2π radians)
<u>s = 12.57 m</u>
B) Angular Speed:
The formula for angular speed is given as:
ω = θ/t
where,
ω = angular speed = ?
θ = angular distance covered = 15 revolutions
t = time taken = 3 min
Therefore,
ω = 15 rev/3 min
<u>ω = 5 RPM</u>
C) Linear Speed:
The formula that gives the the linear speed of an object moving in a circular path is given as:
v = rω
where,
v = linear speed = ?
r = radius = 2 m
ω = Angular Speed in rad/s = (15 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 1.571 rad/s
Therefore,
v = (2 m)(1.571 rad/s)
<u>v = 3.142 m/s</u>
Answer:
Add the two speeds together.
Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.
