Answer:

i) v = 1.47 cm/s

ii) distance = 219.8 cm

iii) displacement = 28cm

Explanation:

Remember that:

The motion of the tip of the second hand is a circular motion.

For something that rotates with an angular frequency ω, and a radius R, the velocity is given by:

v = ω*R.

i) We know that the second hand of a clock does a complete rotation each 60 seconds.

Then the period is:

T = 60s

And the frequency is the inverse of the period, so:

f = 1/T

f = (1/60s)

And the angular frequency is 2*pi times the normal frequency, thus:

ω = 2*pi*f

ω = 2*pi*(1/60s)  = (2*pi/60s)

And the radius will be 14 cm, the velocity of the ant is:

v = (2*pi/60s)*14cm

if we replace pi by 3.14 we get:

v =  (2*3.14/60s)*14cm = 1.47 cm/s

ii) The distance covered by the ant in 150 seconds:

Remember that the period of the clock is T = 60s

so in 150 seconds we have:

150s/60s = 2.5 revolutions.

Then the total distance covered is 2.5 times the perimeter of a circle of radius R = 14cm, this is:

distance = (2.5)*2*pi*14cm

              = (2.5)*2*3.14*14cm = 219.8 cm

iii) We want to know the displacement, this is, the difference between the final position and the initial position.

In 150 seconds, the ant does 2.5 revolutions.

So the ant will end in the opposite side of the circle where she started (if the ant started when the second hand was at the "3", then the final position is when the second hand is at the "9").

So the displacement will be equal to twice the radius, or the diameter of the circle.

if the radius is 14cm, the diameter is:

2*14cm = 28cm

the displacement is 28cm

On the way to school, Jed traveled 100m north, 300m east, 100 north, 100m east, and 100m north. A.) Find the total distance trav
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Total distance = 700 m

Displacement = 500 m

Explanation:

Notice that Jed travelled a total of 3 x 100 m = 300 m in the North direction, and 300 m + 100 m = 400 m in the East direction. Therefore the total distance he travelled is:  300 + 400 = 700 m.

But the actual displacement is given by the Pythagorean theorem as the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle of legs 300 m and 400 m:

displacement = \sqrt{300^2+400^2} =\sqrt{250000} =500\,m

At t = 0 the components of a radio-controlled car's velocity are vx = 0.5 m/s and vy = 1.2 m/s. Find the components of the car's
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x-component of velocity = 5.7 m/s

y-component of velocity = -1.4 m/s          

Explanation:

Use first equation of motion to find components of velocity at a given time:

v = u + at

where, v is  the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Given:

u_x= 0.5 m/s\\u_y=1.2 m/s\\a_x=2 m/s^2\\a_y=-1m/s^2\\t = (2.6-0)s =2.6 s

v_x=u_x+a_xt\\\Rightarrow v_x=0.5+2\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_x=5.7 m/s

v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\Rightarrow v_y=1.2-1\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_y=-1.4 m/s

A mechanic changing the spark plugs in a car notes that the instruction manual calls for a torque with a magnitude of
Papessa [141]

The magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

<h3>Force exerted by the wrench</h3>

The force exerted by the wrench is calculated using torque formula as follows;

torque, τ = F x r x sinθ

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • r is the perpendicular distance if force applied

F =  τ /(r sinθ)

F = (39) / (0.3 sin 60)

F = 150.1 N

Thus, the magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.
