A potter’s wheel moves from rest to an angular speed of 0.20 rev/s in 23.8 s. Assuming constant angular acceleration, what is it
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

0.053 rad/s^2

Explanation:

0.2 rev/s = 0.2 rev/s * 2π rad/rev = 0.4π rad/s

Since the angular acceleration is assumed to be constant, and the wheel's angular speed is increasing from rest (0 rad/s) to 0.4π rad/s within 23.8s. Then the angular acceleration must be

\alpha = \Delta \omega / \Delta t = \frac{0.4 \pi - 0}{23.8} = 0.053 rad/s^2

A 5000kg car traveling at 40m/s crashes into a wall and comes to a complete stop in 10ms. What was the force on the wall?​
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

20,000,000 N

Explanation:

First find the acceleration:

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 − 40 m/s) / 0.010 s

a = -4000 m/s²

Next use Newton's second law to find the force on the car:

F = ma

F = (5000 kg) (-4000 m/s²)

F = -20,000,000 N

According to Newton's third law, the force on the wall is equal and opposite the force on the car.

F = 20,000,000 N

An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start
drek231 [11]

The total distance that is traveled is 12 inches.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

We know that distance is a scalar quantity. The term distance only has to do with the difference between two points. The direction is not taken into cognizance when we are discussing the distance that has been covered.

As we have said that distance is a scalar quantity, it the follows that the process of obtaining the total distance can only be algebraic given that we could directly add all the distance covered by the ant in order to obtain the total distance of the ant.

Now, we can see that the ant starts at the 17-inch mark, crawls to the 21-inch mark, then moves to the 8-inch mark. The total distance covered is obtained from; (21 - 17) + 8 = 12 inches.
