The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6100 rpm. When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in

MissTica

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion to find the angular acceleration:

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

$\omega_f$ is the final angular velocity in rad/s

$\omega_i$ is the initial angular velocity in rad/s

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

t is the time taken

Given the following

$\omega_f = 6100rpm$

Time = 4.1secs

Convert the angular velocity to rad/s

1rpm = 0.10472rad/s

6100rpm = x

x = 6100 * 0.10472

x = 638.792rad/s

$\omega_f = 638.792rad/s\\$

Get the angular acceleration:

Recall that:

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

638.792 = 0 + ∝(4.1)

4.1∝ = 638.792

∝ = 638.792/4.1

∝ = 155.80rad/s

<em>Hence the angular acceleration as the blades slow down is 155.80rad/s</em>

Suppose that you are headed toward a plateau 55 meters high. If the angle of elevation to the top of the plateau is 40degrees,

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

$x=65.55m$

Explanation:

Let x be the distance to the shore

From trigonometry properties:

$tan(40^{o} )=\frac{55m}{x} \\x=\frac{55m}{tan(40^{o} )} \\x=65.55m$

A 7.36 g sample of copper is contaminated with a additional 0.51 g sample of zinc. Suppose an atomic mass measurement was perfor

yawa3891 [41]

The molar mass of the sample is equal to the summation of the molar mass of the elementas multiplied by the abundance of the elements by mole. In this case, copper has an abundance of 93.69 percent while zinc has 6.31 percent. In this case, the average molecular weight is 63.67 g/mol

What is the law of variation of the period T of a simple pendulum

DIA [1.3K]

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the length of the pendulum and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration. As we can see, the period of a simple pendulum depends only on its length.
