Answer:

The number of revolutions turned by the centrifuge is 8250 revolutions.

Explanation:

Given;

number of revolution per minutes, ω = 15000 rpm

time of motion, t = 330 s = 5.5 minutes

The number of revolutions turned by the centrifuge is given by;

$N = \frac{1500 \ Rev}{minutes} *5.5 \ minutes\\\\N = 8250 \ revolutions$

Therefore, the number of revolutions turned by the centrifuge is 8250 revolutions.

A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. Approximately how m

Alex73 [517]

Amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Power is the rate at which work is done, or W divided by delta t. Since the barbell is not moving, the weightlifter is not doing work on the barbell.Therefore, if the work done is zero, then the power is also zero.It may seem unusual that the data given in question is versatile i.e. A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. But, still the answer is zero watts , this was a tricky question although conceptual basis of question was good! Power is dependent on amount of work done which is further related to displacement and here the net displacement is zero ! Hence, amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

How long does it take a car traveling at 45km/h to travel 100.0 m?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

Since the carspeed is in km/h, we need equal units, so we will make 100.0m 0.1000km.

Then we need to find how long it takes the car to travel 0.1km

We can use the formula distance=speed * time and get

0.1=45 * time

Therefore we get .002222... hours

Multiplying this by 3600 (to get seconds, 60x60), we get 8 seconds

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the following expression,

eduard

(a) 4.06 cm

In a simple harmonic motion, the displacement is written as

$x(t) = A cos (\omega t + \phi)$ (1)

where

A is the amplitude

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

$\phi$ is the phase

t is the time

The displacement of the piston in the problem is given by

$x(t) = (5.00 cm) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})$ (2)

By putting t=0 in the formula, we find the position of the piston at t=0:

$x(0) = (5.00 cm) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=4.06 cm$

(b) -14.69 cm/s

In a simple harmonic motion, the velocity is equal to the derivative of the displacement. Therefore:

$v(t) = x'(t) = -\omega A sin (\omega t + \phi)$ (3)

Differentiating eq.(2), we find

$v(t) = x'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(5.00 cm) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(25.0 cm/s) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})$

And substituting t=0, we find the velocity at time t=0:

$v(0)=-(25.00 cm/s) sin (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-14.69 cm/s$

(c) -101.13 cm/s^2

In a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is equal to the derivative of the velocity. Therefore:

$a(t) = v'(t) = -\omega^2 A cos (\omega t + \phi)$

Differentiating eq.(3), we find

$a(t) = v'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(25.00 cm/s) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(125.0 cm/s^2) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})$

And substituting t=0, we find the acceleration at time t=0:

$a(0)=-(125.00 cm/s) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-101.13 cm/s^2$

(d) 5.00 cm, 1.26 s

By comparing eq.(1) and (2), we notice immediately that the amplitude is

A = 5.00 cm

For the period, we have to start from the relationship between angular frequency and period T:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

Using $\omega = 5.0 rad/s$ and solving for T, we find

$T=\frac{2\pi}{5 rad/s}=1.26 s$
