Answer:

R = 1.8 m

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic movement exercise, at the bottom of the swing the acceleration is vertical upwards and the speed is tangential to the trajectory, that is horizontal; the expression for the centralized acceleration is

              a_{c} = v² / R

              R = v² /a_{c}

where the radius is equal to the length of the swing

let's calculate

            R = 8.1 / 4.5

            R = 1.8 m

Car A has twice the mass of Car B; both travel at the same speed. Compared to Car B. Car A has:
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Car A has twice the energy of car B.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Where

m is the mass

v is the speed of the object

Car A has twice the mass of Car B. Both travel at the same speed i.e.

m_A=2m_B

So,

\dfrac{K_A}{K_B}=\dfrac{(1/2)m_Av^2}{(1/2)m_Bv^2}\\\\=\dfrac{2m_B}{m_B}\\\\\dfrac{K_A}{K_B}=2\\\\K_A=2\times K_B

So, the kinetic energy of car A is twice of the kinetic energy of car B.

An electric ceiling fan is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity magnitude of 0.220 rev/s . The magnitude
matrenka [14]

Answer:

1) The fan's angular velocity after 0.208 seconds is approximately 2.585 rad/s

2) The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in 0.208 s is approximately 0.066 revolutions

3) The tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 s is approximately 1.034 m/s

4) The magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 seconds is approximately 2.312 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the fan, n = 0.220 rev/s

The magnitude of the angular acceleration = 0.920 rev/s²

The direction of the angular acceleration and the angular velocity = Clockwise

The diameter of the circle formed by the electric ceiling fan blades, D = 0.800 m

1) The initial angular velocity of the fan, ω₀ = 2·π × n = 2·π × 0.220 rev/s = 1.38230076758 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the fan, α = 2·π×0.920 rad/s² = 5.78053048261 rad/s²

The fan's angular velocity, 'ω', after a time t = 0.208 seconds has passed is given as follows;

ω = ω₀ + α·t

From which we have;

ω = 1.38230076758 rad/s + 5.78053048261 rad/s × 0.208 s = 2.58465110796 rad/s

The fan's angular velocity after 0.208 seconds is ω ≈ 2.585 rad/s

2) The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in the given time interval is given from the angle turned, 'θ', in the given time as follows;

θ = ω₀·t + 1/2·α·t²

θ = 1.38230076758 × 0.208 + 1/2 × 5.78053048261 × 0.208² = 0.41256299505 radians

2·π radians = 1 revolution

∴ 0.41256299505 radians = 0.41256299505 radian× 1 revolution/(2·π radian) = 0.06566144 revolution

The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in 0.208 s ≈ 0.066 revolutions

3) The tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 s is given as follows;

The tangential speed, v_t = ω × r = ω × D/2

At t = 0.208 s, ω = 2.58465110796 rad/s, therefore, we have;

v_t = ω × D/2 = 2.58465110796 × 0.800/2 = 1.0338604413

The tangential speed, v_t = 1.0338604413 m/s

The tangential speed ≈ 1.034 m/s

4)  The magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 seconds, 'a' is given as follows;

a = α × r = α × D/2

a = 5.78053048261 × 0.800/2 = 2.31221219304

The tangential acceleration, a ≈ 2.312 m/s²
