Answer:

Acceleration = 3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 150 N

Mass = 50 kg

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

Acceleration = Force / Mass

Acceleration = 150 / 50

Acceleration = 3 m/s²

1) $1.86\cdot 10^6 rad/s^2$

2) 2418 rad/s

3) $27000 m/s^2$

4) 36.3 m/s

Explanation:

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:

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

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:

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

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,

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

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,

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

Per person, the energy consumption in the United States is about 3.3 × 10^8 Btu/yr. This is equivalent to a power of:________. A

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

$3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

$1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

So, $3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr$ is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headligh

choli [55]

Answer:

They can be seen from a distance of 4.372 kilometers.

Explanation:

Using the Reyligh creterion for diffraction through a circular aperture we have

$\frac{x}{D}=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}$

where symbol's have their usual meaning

thus applying values we get

$D=\frac{dx}{1.22\lambda }$

$\therefore D=\frac{0.633\times 4.61\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 547\times 10^{-9}}\\\\D=4372.77m\\=4.372km$
