A flea stands on the end of a 1.0 cm long

Physics
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The rotation speed, w, is 2*pi radians/60 seconds = 0.105 rad/s and r = 0.01 m

The flea needs centripetal force given by

Fc = m*w^2/r

That force must come from friction given by

Ff = mu*N = mu*m*g

So

m*w^2/r = mu*m*g

Substitute the data, cancel the m's, and solve for mu.

A block moves along a table at a constant velocity and then rolls off the edge of the table. The forces that should be included
Alla [95]

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

When the ball is falling to the ground, there is only one force- gravity. In some cases, there may be air resistance, but that seems to be neglected here.

Normal force:

Cannot be included. Normal force is only applicable when object is on a surface, and it acts perpendicular to the surface. Since the ball is falling, there is no surface, and therefore no normal force. This question gives you unnecessary information, designed to trick you. Please remember when normal force is applicable.

Friction force:

Also only applicable when object is moving, and is on the table. Friction only applies when there is an applied force. There is no applied force when the ball is falling, so therefore no friction force.

Force of fall:

First of all, what is this? There is nothing called force of fall.

Gravity:

This is the only one that applies. Just draw a vector arrow from the bottom of the ball and label it mg (acceleration due to gravity).

The answer is A and no matter how many times I tried I can't get it.

Imagine a skinny straw in the water, standing right over the hole. The WEIGHT of the water in that straw is the force on the tape. Now, the volume of water in the straw is (1 mm^2) times (20 cm). Once you have the volume, you can use the density and gravity to find the weight. And THAT's the force on the tape. If the tape can't hold that force, then it peels off and the water runs out through the hole. /// This is a pretty hard problem, because it involved mm^2, cm, and m^3. You have to be very very very careful with your units as you work through this one. If you've been struggling with it, I'm almost sure the problem is the units.

A red laser beam goes from crown glass with refraction index n=1.3 to air (n=1) with an incident angle of 0.23 radians. What is
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

   θ = 10.28º

Explanation:

To find the angle of refraction use the equation of refraction

        n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where index 1 is for incident light and index 2 is for refracted light.

         sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ

let's calculate

         sin = 1 / 1.3 sin 0.23

         sin = 0.175

        θ= 0.17528 rad

let's reduce to degrees

       θ = 0.17528 rad (180ª / pi rad)

       θ = 10.28º

A sample of argon gas (molar mass 40 g) is at four times the absolute temperature of a sample of hydrogen gas (molar mass 2 g).
qaws [65]

To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for gases assuming ideal behaviour is given as:

rms = sqrt (3 R T / M)

where

R = gas constant = 8.314 Pa m^3 / mol K

T = temperature

M = molar mass

Now we get the ratios of rms of Argon (1) to hydrogen (2):

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (3 R T1 / M1) / sqrt (3 R T2 / M2)

or

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt ((T1 / M1) / (T2 / M2))

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (T1 M2 / T2 M1)

Since T1 = 4 T2

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 T2 M2 / T2 M1)

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 M2 / M1)

and M2 = 2 while M1 = 40

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 * 2 / 40)

rms1 / rms2 = 0.447

 

Therefore the ratio of rms is:

<span>rms_Argon / rms_Hydrogen = 0.45</span>
