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 ω 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 µs between your shoes and the floor that will keep you from slipping off?

Answer:

a) ω = 9.86 rad/s

b) ac = 194. 4 m/s²

c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8

Explanation:

a) angular speed, ω = 2πf, where f is frequency of revolution

1 rps = 6.283 rad/s, π = 3.142

ω = 2 * 3.14 * 0.25 * 6.28

ω = 9.86 rad/s

b) centripetal acceleration, a = rω²

where r is radius in meters; r = 200 cm or 2 m

a = 2 * 9.86²

a = 194. 4 m/s²

c) µs = frictional force/ normal force

frictional force = centripetal force = ma; where a is centripetal acceleration

normal force = mg; where g = 9.8 m/s²

µs = ma/mg = a/g

µs = 194.4 ms⁻²/9.8 ms⁻²

c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8

What is the proportionality between pressure and temperature, and the proportionality between atmospheric pressure and tempratur
Alborosie

According to Ideal gasTo solve this problem, the fastest relationship allows us to observe the proportionality between the two variables would be the one expressed in the ideal gas equation, which is

PV= NRT

Here

P = Pressure

V = Volume

N = Number of moles

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

We can see that the pressure is proportional to the temperature, then

P \propto T

This relationship can be extrapolated to all the scenarios in which these two variables are related. As the pressure increases the temperature increases. The same goes for the pressure in the atmosphere, for which an increase in this will generate an increase in temperature. This variable can be observed in areas of different altitude. At higher altitude lower atmospheric pressure and lower temperature.

I need to name 20 gases in physics
Oliga [24]
Easy ! EVERY element and every compound melts, then boils and becomes a gas, if you heat it to a high enough temperature. That includes iron, gold, water, salt, glass, almost any substance.

Which instrument produces the sound of a single frequency?
notka56 [123]
NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

<em>C. the blue colour of the Earth's sky</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The Pleiades is a cluster of sister stars that are among the closest star cluster to earth.

The reflection nebula of the Pleiades is due to the scattering of the blue light from the hot blue luminous stars that dominate the star cluster. Th blue light is scattered from dust molecules, thought to be predominantly carbon compound like diamond dusts, and other compounds like iron.

The blue colour of the Earth's sky is the closest terrestrial phenomenon to the reflection nebula. On a clear cloudless day, molecules in the air scatter the blue component of light more than the other component colours of white light, giving the sky its characteristic blue coluor.

The common characteristics of the luminous nebula and the Earth's blue sky is that they both have their light scattered by the presence of small particles.
