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

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

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

Two identical masses are connected to two different flywheels that are initially stationary. Flywheel A is larger and has more m

inysia [295]

Answer:

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

Explanation:

Let's consider solving this exercise before seeing the final statements.

We use Newton's second law Rotational

τ = I α

T r = I α

T gR = I α

Alf = T R / I (1)

T = α I / R

Now let's use Newton's second law in the mass that descends

W- T = m a

a = (m g -T) / m

The two accelerations need related

a = R α

α = a / R

a = (m g - α I / R) / m

R α = g - α I /m R

α (R + I / mR) = g

α = g / R (1 + I / mR²)

We can see that the angular acceleration depends on the radius and the moments of inertia of the steering wheels, the mass is constant

Let's review the claims

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

b) False. Missing data for calculation

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

d) False. There is a dependency if the radius and moment of inertia increases angular acceleration decreases

Winds blowing toward the east are called easterlies. True or False

eimsori [14]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Winds are named for the cardinal direction they blow from. Hence, a wind that "blows towards the east", logically should come from the west and is called a "west wind".

In thise sense, one of the best examples of this type of wind are the Westerlies, which are are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes and have the characteristic that are stronger during winter and weaker during summer.

Therefore, the statement is false.

A horizontal pipe contains water at a pressure of 110 kPa flowing with a speed of 1.4 m/s. When the pipe narrows to one half its

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$v_2 = 5.6 \ m/s$

$P_2 = 80600 \ Pa$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of the water in the pipe is $P_1= 110 \ kPa = 110 *10^{3 } \ Pa$

The speed of the water is $v_1 = 1.4 \ m/s$

The original area of the pipe is $A_1 = \pi \frac{d^2 }{4}$

The new area of the pipe is $A_2 = \pi * \frac{[\frac{d}{2} ]^2}{4} = \pi * \frac{\frac{d^2}{4} }{4} = \pi \frac{d^2}{16}$

Generally the continuity equation is mathematically represented as

$A_1 * v_1 = A_2 * v_2$

Here $v_2$ is the new velocity

$\pi * \frac{d^2}{4} * 1.4 = \pi * \frac{d^2}{16} * v_2$

=> $\frac{d^2}{4} * 1.4 = \frac{d^2}{16} * v_2$

=> $d^2 * 1.4 = \frac{d^2}{4} * v_2$

=> $1.4 = 0.25 * v_2$

=> $v_2 = 5.6 \ m/s$

Generally given that the height of the original pipe and the narrower pipe are the same , then we will b making use of the Bernoulli's equation for constant height to calculate the pressure

This is mathematically represented as

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * v_1 ^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * v_2 ^2$
