Complete Question:

A purse at radius 2.00 m and a wallet at radius 3.00 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the ride turns.

They are on the same radial line. At one instant, the acceleration of the purse is (2.00 m/s2 ) i + (4.00 m/s2 ) j .At that instant and in unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of the wallet

Answer:

aw = 3 i + 6 j m/s2

Explanation:

  • Since both objects travel in uniform circular motion, the only acceleration that they suffer is the centripetal one, that keeps them rotating.
  • It can be showed that the centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to the square of the angular velocity, as follows:

       a_{c} = \omega^{2} * r (1)

  • Since both objects are located on the same radial line, and they travel in uniform circular motion, by definition of angular velocity, both have the same angular velocity ω.

       ∴ ωp = ωw (2)

           ⇒ a_{p} = \omega_{p} ^{2} * r_{p} (3)

               a_{w} = \omega_{w}^{2} * r_{w} (4)

  • Dividing (4) by (3), from (2), we have:

        \frac{a_{w} }{a_{p}} = \frac{r_{w} }{r_{p}}

  • Solving for aw, we get:

        a_{w} = a_{p} *\frac{r_{w} }{r_{p} } = (2.0 i + 4.0 j) m/s2 * 1.5 = 3 i +6j m/s2

The speed on a car speedometer. Is it speed or velocity? Explain Why
Sliva [168]
Velocity is a speed AND a direction.
When you turn a corner, or go around a curve in the road, your
direction changes, but the reading on the dial doesn't change.
So it can't be showing velocity.  It must be showing only speed.
That's probably a big part of the reason why it's called a speedometer
and not a velocimeter.

A 450-N rightward force is used to drag a large box across the floor with a constant velocity of 1.2 m/s. The coefficient of fri
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

the mass of the box is 51.98 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

applied horizontal force, F = 450 N

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.795

constant velocity, v = 1.2 m/s

At constant velocity, the acceleration of the object is zero and the net force will be zero.

F_{Net} = F - F_k\\\\0 = F - F_k\\\\F_k = F\\\\\mu \ N = F\\\\\mu (mg) = F\\\\m = \frac{F}{\mu  g} \\\\m = \frac{405}{0.795 \ \times \ 9.8} \\\\m = 51.98 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the box is 51.98 kg.

How are magnetic forces like electric forces? (4 points) Select one: a. They both have charges b. In both, opposites attract. c.
nlexa [21]

Lets take it down a notch and break it down:

Magnetic forces and electric forces are quite similar, lets take a look at the answers possible:

A. They both have charges

False, magnetic forces do not HAVE charges, but they have an EFFECT on moving charges (that are creating a magnetic field around them).

Why? Electrical forces have positive and negative charges while magnetic forces have a north and south POLE. These two are different forces, therefore magnetic forces do not HAVE charges.

B. In both, opposites attract

We all know opposite poles attract, like poles, don't attract (repelling force). This is true for the magnetic force, now, the electric force, two positively charged particles will exert a repulsive force on one another. DING DING. We have a winner. <u>B is TRUE.</u>

C. In both, opposites repel

False, we already know in electric and magnetic forces that opposites attract and similar charges/poles repel.

D. Neither have charges

False, this is a joke question right? Don't even look at this one!!!!!!!!!


<u>Therefore, </u><u>B</u><u>, is the only true answer that describes how magnetic and electric forces are similar. </u>

Have a nice day!

What is the period of a pendulum that is 1.3 m long?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

T≈2.2876585681s

Explanation:

Since you were not given the degrees of amplitude or radians of amplitude, we assume that the degrees of amplitude are less than 20∘ or 20∘ and we also assume that this is a simple pendulum

A 4kg and 5kg bodies moving on a frictionless horizontal surface at a velocity of ( -6i )m/s and ( +3 )m/s respectively. Collide
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

4 kg → +4 m/s

5 kg → -5 m/s

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum states that:

  • m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
  • left side → velocities before collision
  • right side → velocities after collision

You'll notice that we have two missing variables: v₁' & v₂'. Assuming this is a perfectly elastic collision, we can use the conservation of kinetic energy to set the initial and final velocities of the individual bodies equal to each other.

  • v₁ + v₁' = v₂ + v₂'  

Let's substitute all known variables into the first equation.

  • (4)(-6) + (5)(3) = (4)v₁' + (5)v₂'
  • -24 + 15 = 4v₁' + 5v₂'
  • -9 = 4v₁' + 5v₂'  

Let's substitute the known variables into the second equation.

  • (-6) + v₁' = (3) + v₂'
  • -9 = -v₁' + v₂'
  • 9 = v₁' - v₂'  

Now we have a system of equations where we can solve for v₁ and v₂.

  • -9 = 4v₁' + 5v₂'
  • 9 = v₁' - v₂'  

Use the elimination method and multiply the bottom equation by -4.

  • -9 = 4v₁' + 5v₂'
  • -36 = -4v₁' + 4v₂'

Add the equations together.

  • -45 = 9v₂'
  • -5 = v₂'

<u>The final velocity of the second body (5 kg) is -5 m/s</u>. Substitute this value into one of the equations in the system to find v₁.  

  • 9 = v₁' - v₂'
  • 9 = v₁' - (-5)
  • 9 = v₁' + 5
  • 4 = v₁'

<u>The final velocity of the first body (4 kg) is 4 m/s.</u>

<u></u>

We can verify our answer by making sure that the law of conservation of momentum is followed.

  • m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
  • (4)(-6) + (5)(3) = (4)(4) + (5)(-5)
  • -24 + 15 = 16 - 25
  • -9 = -9

The combined momentum of the bodies before the collision is equal to the combined momentum of the bodies after the collision. [✓]
