An electric ceiling fan is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity magnitude of 0.300 rev/s . The magnitude
Salsk061 [2.6K]

1) 1.2 m/s

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the blade at time t = 0.200 s. This is given by

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

where

\omega_i = 0.300 rev/s is the initial angular velocity

\alpha = 0.895 rev/s^2 is the angular acceleration

Substituting t = 0.200 s, we find

\omega_f = 0.300 + (0.895)(0.200)=0.479 rev/s

Let's now convert it into rad/s:

\omega_f = 2\pi \cdot 0.479 rev/s=3.01 rad/s

The distance of a point on the tip of the blade is equal to the radius of the blade, so half the diameter:

r=\frac{0.800}{2}=0.400 m

And so now we can find the tangential speed at t = 0.200 s:

v=\omega_f r =(3.01)(0.400)=1.2 m/s

2) 2.25 m/s^2

The tangential acceleration of a point rotating at a distance r from the centre of the circle is

a_t = \alpha r

where \alpha is the angular acceleration.

First of all, we need to convert the angular acceleration into rad/s^2:

\alpha = 0.895 rev/s^ \cdot 2 \pi =5.62 rad/s^2

A point on the tip of the blade has a distance of

r = 0.400 m

From the centre; so, the tangential acceleration is

a_t = (5.62)(0.400)=2.25 m/s^2

3) 3.6 m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v is the tangential speed

r is the distance from the centre of the circle

We already calculate the tangential speed at point a):

v = 1.2 m/s

while the distance of a point at the end of the blade from the centre is

r = 0.400 m

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration is

a=\frac{1.2^2}{0.400}=3.6 m/s^2

A gymnast of mass 62.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) T = 608.22 N

b) T = 608.22 N

c) T = 682.62 N

d) T = 533.82 N

Explanation:

Given that the mass of gymnast is m = 62.0 kg

Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s²

Thus; The weight of the gymnast is acting downwards and tension in the string acting upwards.

So;

To calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope; we have;

T = mg

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

= 608.22 N

When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

= 608.22 N

When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude

a = 1.2 m/s²

the tension in the string is  T - mg = ma (Since acceleration a is upwards)

T = ma + mg

= m (a + g )

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² + 1.2  m/s²)

= (62.0 kg) (11.01 m/s²)

= 682.62 N

When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an downward acceleration of magnitude

a = 1.2 m/s² the tension in the string is  mg - T = ma (Since acceleration a is downwards)

T = mg - ma

= m (g - a )

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² - 1.2 m/s²)

= (62.0 kg)(8.61 m/s²)

= 533.82 N

A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible (free body diagram)
timofeeve [1]

In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

<u>For instance:</u>

upward motion for velocity  ↑        downward motion for velocity  ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

                                             ↓

                                             ↓

PLEASEE I NEED HELP FAST!!! .Study the scenario.A small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large contain
RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

             Q_c = m ce (T_{f}-T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

              Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

        Q_c = Q_a

       m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process
