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.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

1.38 x 10^-18 J

Explanation:

q = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

d = 5 x 10^-10 m

the potential energy of the system gives the value of work done

The formula for the potential energy is given by

U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}

So, the total potential energy of teh system is

U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{2}q_{3}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{1}q_{3}}{d}

As all the charges are same and the distance between the two charges is same so the total potential energy becomes

U =3\times \frac{Kq^{2}}{d}

K = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

By substituting the values

U =3\times \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times \ 1.6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-38}}{5\times 10^{-10}}

U = 1.38 x 10^-18 J

A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 12 rpm. If a constant friction torque of 12.5 Nm i

Answer:

-0.25 rad/s^2

Explanation:

The equivalent of Newton's second law for rotational motions is:

\tau = I \alpha

where

\tau is the net torque applied to the object

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

In this problem we have:

\tau = -12.5 Nm (net torque, with a negative sign since it is a friction torque, so it acts in the opposite direction as the motion)

I=50.0 kg m^2 is the moment of inertia

Solving for \alpha, we find the angular acceleration:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{-12.5 Nm}{50.0 kg m^2}=-0.25 rad/s^2
