You stand on a merry-go-round which is spinning at f = 0:25 revolutions per second. You are R = 200 cm from the center. (a) Find

the angular speed ! At which it is spinning. (b) Find the centripetal acceleration, ac with which it is spinning. (c) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction is between your shoes and the floor that will keep you from slipping off?

Answer:

(a) ω = 1.57 rad/s

(b) ac = 4.92 m/s²

(c) μs = 0.5

Explanation:

(a)

The angular speed of the merry go-round can be found as follows:

ω = 2πf

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

f = frequency = 0.25 rev/s

Therefore,

ω = (2π)(0.25 rev/s)

<u>ω = 1.57 rad/s </u>

(b)

The centripetal acceleration can be found as:

ac = v²/R

but,

v = Rω

Therefore,

ac = (Rω)²/R

ac = Rω²

therefore,

ac = (2 m)(1.57 rad/s)²

<u>ac = 4.92 m/s² </u>

(c)

In order to avoid slipping the centripetal force must not exceed the frictional force between shoes and floor:

Centripetal Force = Frictional Force

m*ac = μs*R = μs*W

m*ac = μs*mg

ac = μs*g

μs = ac/g

μs = (4.92 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>μs = 0.5</u>

What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500
padilas [110]

Answer:

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

Explanation:

You are missing the first part of the problem. This is an example, but it will give you the idea of how to solve yours with your data.

The first part is like this:

<em>A      4.0 cm  diameter parallel plate capacitor has a  0.44 m  m    gap. What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000 V/s?</em>

Now with this, we can solve the problem.

In order to do this, we need to use the following expression:

q = CV (1)

Where:

C: Capacitance of a parellel capacitor (in Faraday)

q: charge of plate or capacitor (In coulombs)

V: voltage in Volts.

However, we need is the current, and we have data of potential difference, so, all we have to do is divide the expression between time so:

q/t = CV/t

And the current is q/t, thus:

I = C * V/t (2)

And finally, Capacitance C with two plates of area A separated by a distance d is:

C = Eo*A/d (3)

Where:

Eo = constant equals to 8.85x10^-12 F/m.

A = Area of the plate, in this case, πr²

d = gap of the capacitor.

Let's calculate first the Capacitance using equation (3):

C = 8.85x10^-12 * π * (0.04/2)² / 0.00046 = 2.42x10^-11 F

Now, it's time to use equation (2) and solve for I:

I = 2.42x10^-11 * 500,000

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

8) Find the X and Y component of 10degree vector that has 5N.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Fx  = 4.92 [N]

Fy = 0.868 [N]

Explanation:

Let's take the 10 degrees as a measure from the horizontal component to the vector.

Thus taking the components in the X & y axes respectively:

Fx = 5*cos(10) = 4.92 [N]

Fy = 5*sin(10) = 0.868 [N]

What service is provided for HIV testing and what’s the important of this service?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

HIV Testing Services is an entry point to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. It is expected that when people know their HIV status they will make informed choice on HIV prevention or if positive, access other services. Testing yourself for HIV is important for your health, your relationships, your life and your future. The growth of new infections continues to pose serious health risks. ... The fact is that HIV is preventable, and you can reduce or eliminate your risk. And early detection can lead to early treatment and better outcomes.
