soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

A) 12.57 m

B) 5 RPM

C) 3.142 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance covered in 1 Revolution:

The formula that gives the relationship between the arc length or distance covered during circular motion to the angle subtended or the revolutions, is given as follows:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance covered = ?

r = radius of circle = 2 m

θ = Angle = 2π radians (For 1 complete Revolution)

Therefore,

s = (2 m)(2π radians)

s = 12.57 m

B) Angular Speed:

The formula for angular speed is given as:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular distance covered = 15 revolutions

t = time taken = 3 min

Therefore,

ω = 15 rev/3 min

ω = 5 RPM

C) Linear Speed:

The formula that gives the the linear speed of an object moving in a circular path is given as:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed = ?

r = radius = 2 m

ω = Angular Speed in rad/s = (15 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 1.571 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (2 m)(1.571 rad/s)

v = 3.142 m/s

Determine the focal length of a plano-concave lens (refractive index n =1.5) with 24 cm radius of curvature on its curve surface

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Option 3: -48 cm

Explanation:

We are given:

refractive index; n = 1.5

radius of curvature; r2 = 24 cm

Formula for the focal length is given as;

1/f = (n - 1) × [(1/r1) - (1/r2)]

As r1 tends to infinity, 1/r1 = 0

Thus,we now have;

1/f = (n - 1) × (-1/r2)

Plugging in the relevant values;

1/f = (1.5 - 1) × (-1/24)

1/f = -0.02083333333

f = -1/0.02083333333

f = -48 cm

Suppose we have two planets with the same mass, but the radius of the second one is twice the size of the first one. How does th

bogdanovich [222]

The free-fall acceleration on the second planet is one-fourth the value of the first planet.

Calculation:

Consider the mass of planet A to be, M

the mass of planet B to be, Mₓ = M

the radius of planet A to be, R₁

the radius of planet B to be, R₂

The acceleration due to gravity on planet A's surface is given as:

g = GM/R₁² - (1)

Similarly, the acceleration due to gravity on planet B's surface is given as:

g' = GM/R₂² [where, R₂ = 2R₁]

= GM/4R₁² -(2)

From equation 1 & 2, we get:

g/g' = GM/R₁² ÷ GM/4R₁²

g/g' = 4/1

Thus we get,

g' = 1/4 g

Therefore, the free-fall acceleration on the second planet is one-fourth the value of the first planet.
