The length of second hand of clock is 14cm, an ant sits on the top of second hand. find the following

Physics

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

Which of these processes are chemical reactions
White raven [17]

Explanation:

  • In chemical reactions, chemical changes occur.
  • Atoms are simply rearranged and new bonds are formed.
  • Chemical reactions are driven by a need for atoms to attain stability in their structure.
  • In all chemical reactions, a reactant or reactants gives new product i.e new substances are formed.
  • Most these reactions are not easily reversible.
  • They are usually accompanied by the release of energy.

Alan and Monica tested how fertilizer X affected the growth of a plant. Alan and Monica put 100 grams of fertilizer X in pot 1.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

D.

a control group

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment such as the one above, there is an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group is the group that receives the treatment while the control group does not receive any treatment. The control group helps the researcher to observe if the treatment had any significant effect.

In this case, it will help Alan and Monica to determine if fertilizer X actually had an effect on the plant. Therefore, the pot with o grams of fertilizer in it is the control group.

__________ skids occur when you suddenly press too hard on the accelerator and the drive wheels lose traction.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Power Skids

Explanation:

Power Skid like the question suggested, is a skid that occurs when you suddenly press too hard on the accelerator and the drive wheels lose traction. Power Skid is one of the 4 types of Skids. The other 3 includes;

Cornering skid

Blowout skid and

Braking skid.

Power skid occurs mostly as a result of insanely high speed and or acceleration,when the accelerator is pressed on too suddenly causing the vehicle to be driven beyond its capabilities, and then to skid, ultimately.
