Answer:

The acceleration is $1.106\ m/s^2$ and the distance covered is 97.17 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of an automobile, u = 60 km/hr = 16.67 m/s

Final speed of an automobile, v = 80 km/hr = 22.2 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the acceleration of the car and the distance traveled in this 5 sec interval. Let a is the acceleration. Using the definition of acceleration as :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{22.2-16.67}{5}\\\\a=1.106\ m/s^2$

Let d is the distance covered. Using the third equation of motion to find it as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\\s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\s=\dfrac{(22.2)^2-(16.67)^2}{2\times 1.106}\\\\s=97.17\ m$

So, the acceleration is $1.106\ m/s^2$ and the distance covered is 97.17 m.

Explanation:

1)

The angular acceleration of an object in rotation is the rate of change of angular velocity.

It can be calculated using the following suvat equation for angular motion:

$\theta=\omega_i t +\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

where:

$\theta$ is the angular displacement

$\omega_i$ is the initial angular velocity

t is the time

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

In this problem we have:

$\theta=90^{\circ} = \frac{\pi}{2}rad$ is the angular displacement

t = 1.3 ms = 0.0013 s is the time elapsed

$\omega_i = 0$ is the initial angular velocity

Solving for $\alpha$ , we find:

$\alpha = \frac{2(\theta-\omega_i t)}{t^2}=\frac{2(\pi/2)-0}{0.0013}=1.86\cdot 10^6 rad/s^2$

2)

For an object in accelerated rotational motion, the final angular speed can be found by using another suvat equation:

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

where

$\omega_i$ is the initial angular velocity

t is the time

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

In this problem we have:

t = 1.3 ms = 0.0013 s is the time elapsed

$\omega_i = 0$ is the initial angular velocity

$\alpha = 1.86\cdot 10^6 rad/s$ is the angular acceleration

Therefore, the final angular speed is:

$\omega_f = 0 + (1.86\cdot 10^6)(0.0013)=2418 rad/s$

3)

The tangential acceleration is related to the angular acceleration by the following formula:

$a_t = \alpha r$

where

$a_t$ is the tangential acceleration

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

r is the distance of the point from the centre of rotation

Here we want to find the tangential acceleration of the tip of the claw, so:

$\alpha = 1.86\cdot 10^6 rad/s$ is the angular acceleration

r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m is the distance of the tip of the claw from the axis of rotation

Substituting,

$a_t=(1.86\cdot 10^6)(0.015)=27900 m/s^2$

4)

Since the tip of the claw is moving by uniformly accelerated motion, we can find its final speed using the suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

u is the initial linear speed

a is the tangential acceleration

t is the time elapsed

Here we have:

$a=27900 m/s^2$ (tangential acceleration)

u = 0 m/s (it starts from rest)

t = 1.3 ms = 0.0013 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

$v=0+(27900)(0.0013)=36.3 m/s$

Viefleur [7K]

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:

H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.

So the law of conservation of heat tells that:

Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X

Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.
