The formula we use here is:

radial acceleration = ω^2 * R <span>

110,000 * 9.81 m/s^2 = ω^2 * 0.073 m 
<span>ω^2 = 110,000 * 9.81 / 0.073
ω = 3844.76 rad/s </span></span>

<span>and since: ω = 2pi*f  --> f = ω/(2pi)</span><span>
f = 3844.76 / (2pi) = 611.91 rps = 611.91 * 60 rpm 
<span>= 36,714.77 rpm </span></span>

What would be the answer for this and how?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k =  250\ N/m\\

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>B. 6 cm</u>

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>

By method of dimension show that the following equation are homogenous.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Proof in explanataion

Explanation:

The basic dimensions are as follows:

MASS = M

LENGTH = L

TIME = T

i)

Given equation is:

H = \frac{u^2Sin^2\phi}{2g}

where,

H = height (meters)

u = speed (m/s)

g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

Sin Ф = constant (no unit)

So there dimensions will be:

H = [L]

u = [LT⁻¹]

g = [LT⁻²]

Sin Ф = no dimension

Therefore,

[L] = \frac{[LT^{-1}]^2}{[LT^{-2}]}\\\\\ [L] = [L^{(2-1)}T^{(-2+2)}]

<u>[L] = [L]</u>

Hence, the equation is proven to be homogenous.

ii)

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\

where,

F = Force = Newton = kg.m/s² = [MLT⁻²]

G = Gravitational Constant = N.m²/kg² = (kg.m/s²)m²/kg² = m³/kg.s²

G = [M⁻¹L³T⁻²]

m₁ = m₂ = mass = kg = [M]

r = distance = m = [L]

Therefore,

[MLT^{-2}] = \frac{[M^{-1}L^{3}T^{-2}][M][M]}{[L]^2}\\\\\ [MLT^{-2}] = [M^{(-1+1+1)}L^{(3-2)}T^{-2}]\\\\

<u>[MLT⁻²] = [MLT⁻²]</u>

Hence, the equation is proven to be homogenous.

What are the phenomena that physics is applied in?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

For empiricists like van Fraassen, the phenomena of physics are the appearances observed or perceived by sensory experience. Constructivists, however, regard the phenomena of physics as artificial structures generated by experimental and mathematical methods.
