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

If a 10kg block is at rest on a table and a 1200N force is applied in the eastward direction for 10 seconds, what is the acceler
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a = 120 m/s²

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)

Known data

Where:

∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass (kg)

a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)

F = 1200N

m = 10 kg

Problem development

We replace the known data in formula (1)

1200 = 10*a

a = 1200/10

a = 120 m/s²

The pressure of a sample of gas is measured as 49 torrent. Convert this to atmosphere ​
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

P = 0.0644 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

The pressure of a sample of gas is measured as 49 torr.

We need to convert this temperature to atmosphere.

The relation between torr and atmosphere is as follow :

1 atm = 760 torr

1 torr = (1/760) atm

49 torr = (49/760) atm

= 0.0644 atm

Hence, the presssure of the sample of gas is equal to 0.0644 atm.

What is the electric potential v due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of 5.292×10−11 m ?
viktelen [127]

Answer: 27.21 V

Explanation:

The <u>electric potential</u> V_{E} due to a point charge is expressed as:

V_{E}=k\frac{q}{r}

Where:

k=9(10)^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}} is the <u>electric constant</u>

q=1.6(10)^{-19}C is the <u>electric charge of the hydrogen nucleus</u>, which is positive

r=5.292(10)^{-11}m is the <u>distance</u>

Rewritting the equation with the known values:

V_{E}=9(10)^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}\frac{1.6(10)^{-19}C}{5.292(10)^{-11}m}

Finally:

V_{E}=27.21 V
