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.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

"Longitudinal wave" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

Generating waves whenever the form of communication being displaced in a similar direction as well as in the reverse way of the wave's designated points, could be determined as Longitudinal waves.
A wave running the length of something like a Slinky stuffed animal, which expands as well as reduces the spacing across spindles, produces a fine image or graphic.

An electromagnet on the ceiling of an airplane holds a steel ball. When a button is pushed, the magnet releases the ball. The ex

blagie [28]

Answer:

The ball will fall on the X .

Explanation:

At height, when the aeroplane is in great speed , everything attached with it acquires the same speed . So ball will also have the same speed as the aeroplane have. When ball starts falling off , it gets detached from plane but , at the same time it continues to travel with its earlier speed , because of inertia of motion. So it remains stationary with respect to plane in horizontal direction . It has velocity with respect to plane only in vertical direction. Hence it will fall on the X. It is due to first law of motion.

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:
