Answer:

Explanation:

Particles of a solid are closely packed, and when a solid is hit to produce a sound the kinetic energy present in the solid will cause the particles to vibrate vigorously in the intermolecular spaces in the solid, whereas the paticles of liquids and gases are rather further apart therefore having large intermolecular spaces between particles.

The drill used by most dentists today is powered by a small air-turbine that can operate at angular speeds of 350000 {\rm rpm} .

damaskus [11]

Answer:

5833.33

Explanation:

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

$\theta$ = Number of revolutions

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular speed = 0

t = Time taken = 2 s

Final angular speed

$\omega_f=\dfrac{350000}{60}=5833.33\ rps$

From the equation of rotational motion we have

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{5833.33-0}{2}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=2916.665\ rev/s^2$
