Answer:

15m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 10m/s

Final velocity = 40m/s

Time taken = 2s

Unknown:

Average acceleration = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

Acceleration = $\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time}$

Acceleration = $\frac{40 - 10}{2}$ = 15m/s²

"what is the period of one vibration of this tone?"

Viktor [21]

The full question is:
On a keyboard, you strike middle C, whose frequency is 256 Hz. What is the period of one vibration of this tone?
The period of a vibration is the time it takes for the particle to make one full oscillation. Frequency is by definition number of full oscillations per unit of time.
When the frequency is expressed in Hz that unit of time is one second.
So there is the following relation between frequency and period:
$T=\frac{1}{f}$
When we plug in the numbers we get:
$T=\frac{1}{256}=0.0039$s$

Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of

Harman [31]

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4
