Answer:

0.5sec

Explanation:

Parameters

Height(H) =20m

Initial velocity(u) = 5m/s

Acceleration due to gravity(g) =10m/s^2

Method one

Using the second law of motion

H=ut-1/2gt^2

20=5t-1/2×10×t^2

20=5t-5t^2

dh/dt = 5-10t

where any constant is zero therefore the 20 is zero

5-10t=0

Collect like terms

-10t= -5

t=1/2 = 0.5sec

2nd method

Parameters

Height(H) =20m

Initial velocity(u) = 5m/s

Acceleration due to gravity(g) =10m/s^2

Using the time taken formula

t=u/g

t=5/10

t=0.5sec

8. An unpowered flywheel is slowed by a constant frictional torque. At time t = 0 it has an angular velocity of 200 rad/s. Ten s

allsm [11]

Answer:

a) $\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , b) $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The magnitude of torque is a form of moment, that is, a product of force and lever arm (distance), and force is the product of mass and acceleration for rotating systems with constant mass. That is:

$\tau = F \cdot r$

$\tau = m\cdot a \cdot r$

$\tau = m \cdot \alpha \cdot r^{2}$

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration, which is constant as torque is constant. Angular deceleration experimented by the unpowered flywheel is:

$\alpha = \frac{170\,\frac{rad}{s} - 200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{10\,s}$

$\alpha = -3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Now, angular velocities of the unpowered flywheel at 50 seconds and 100 seconds are, respectively:

a) t = 50 s.

$\omega = 200\,\frac{rad}{s} - \left(3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (50\,s)$

$\omega = 50\,\frac{rad}{s}$

b) t = 100 s.

Given that friction is of reactive nature. Frictional torque works on the unpowered flywheel until angular velocity is reduced to zero, whose instant is:

$t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s}-200\,\frac{rad}{s} }{\left(-3\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$t = 66.667\,s$

Since $t > 66.667\,s$ , then the angular velocity is equal to zero. Therefore:

$\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$

55. (III) A uniform circular plate of radius 2R has a circular hole of radius R cut out of it. The center of the smaller circle

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

P = 0.27R from the center

Explanation:

Given,

The radius of the uniform circular plate, R = 2R

The radius of the hole, r = R

The center of the smaller circle from the center is, d = 0.8R

The center of mass of a circular disc with a hole in it given by the formula

P = dr²/R² - r²

Where P is the distance from the center of mass located in the line joining the two centers opposite to the hole.

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

P = 0.8R x R² / 4R² - R²

= 0.27R³/R²

= 0.27R

Hence the center of mass of plate is at a distant P = 0.27R from the center

If you were trying to cross a river with the shortest possible time, would you aim your boat slightly upstream, directly across

Katyanochek1 [597]

I would say downstream since the stream can push your boat, then you would have momentum and would just have to row towards the land.

Direct current is the flow of an electric charge?

RUDIKE [14]

Direct current is the unidirectional flow of an electric charge.

The term 'unidirectional' in the statement means that direct current only moves in one direction. Direct current usually produced by things such as batteries, dynamos, and power supplies

hope this helps <span />
