Answer:

(A) the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

moment of inertia of a blade, I = 0.2 kgm²

net torque exerted on fan blades, ∑τ =  8Nm

Torque is given as product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration;

τ = Iα

where;

α is the angular acceleration

Since there are three blades of the ceiling fan, the net torque is given as;

∑τ = (3I)α

∑τ = 3Iα

α = ∑τ / 3I

α = (8) / (3 x 0.2)

α = 13.33 m/s

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

Why does the Polaris appear to remain stationary in the night sky when other stars show an apparent pattern?
yanalaym [24]
Because one pole of the Earth's axis of rotation (the North one) points
almost exactly toward Polaris.

If Polaris had a pimple or a bump somewhere on its edge, you'd see
the bump rotate around the whole edge, like a clock, once a day.  But
the whole star appears to stay in one place, because our axis points to it.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin
lyudmila [28]
Part a) The work done by the gas on the bullet is the integral of the force in dx, where x is the distance covered by the bullet inside the barrel with respect to the origin:
W= \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {F} \, dx =  \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {(16000+10000x-26000x^2)} \, dx =
=16000x+10000  \frac{x^2}{2} - 26000  \frac{x^3}{3}
By substituting the length of the barrel, L=0.540 m, we find the total work done by the gas on the bullet:
W=16000(0.540m)+10000  \frac{(0.540m)^2}{2} - 26000  \frac{(0.540m)^3}{3}  =
=8733 J=8.73 kJ

part b) The resolution of the problem is the same, we just have to use the new length of the barrel (L=0.95 m) inside the final formula, and we find the new value of the work:
W=16000(0.95m)+10000  \frac{(0.95m)^2}{2} - 26000  \frac{(0.95m)^3}{3}  =
=12280 J=12.28 kJ

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.
Firlakuza [10]
The atoms of some materials have no free electrons in their outer orbits. These electrons are busy doing other jobs, like being shared in the orbits of two adjacent atoms. They are so closely held that it is very difficult to pull them away. Most compounds of carbon and hydrogen are like this. 

<span>Plastics, whose molecules are made from long combinations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, have few or no free electrons. This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat). hope that helped.</span>

Please help me with this physics prooblem
zaharov [31]

Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components

x=v_0\cos20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_xt^2

y=v_0\sin20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_yt^2

The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components

x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\cos32.0^\circ

y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\sin32.0^\circ

So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, a_x and a_y:

x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_x(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_x=21.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_y(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_y=110\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

The acceleration vector then has direction \theta where

\tan\theta=\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\implies\theta=79.2^\circ

A horizontal force, F, acts on a crate weighing 8 N, which moves on a horizontal floor at constant speed. The coefficient of fri
RoseWind [281]

The answer is 24 J

F K =.25*8 N

     = 2N

F = f k = 2 N

Since a = 0

W = f * s

 2 N * 12 m = 24 J

The coefficient of friction is a ratio used to quantify the friction force among two gadgets when it comes to the everyday pressure this is keeping them collectively. The coefficient of friction is critical attention at some stage in material selection and floor requirement determination.

For instance, ice on steel has a low coefficient of friction – the 2 materials slide past each different without problems – whilst rubber on the pavement has an excessive coefficient of friction – the substances no longer slide past each other without difficulty.

The coefficient of friction is dimensionless and it does not have any unit. it is a scalar, meaning the direction of the force does not have an effect on the physical quantity. The coefficient of friction depends on the gadgets that are causing friction.
