49. \ A rectangular plate is rotating with a constant angular speed about an axis that passes perpendicularly through one corner
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
For this interesting problem, we use the definition of centripetal acceleration
a = v² / r
angular and linear velocity are related
v = w r
we substitute
a = w² r
the rectangular body rotates at an angular velocity w
We locate the points, unfortunately the diagram is not shown. In this case we have the axis of rotation in a corner, called O, in one of the adjacent corners we call it A and the opposite corner A
the distance OB = L₂
the distance AB = L₁
the sides of the rectangle
It is indicated that the acceleration in in A and B are related
we substitute the value of the acceleration
w² r_A = n r_B
the distance from the each corner is
r_B = L₂
r_A =
we substitute
\sqrt{L_1^2 + L_2^2} = n L₂
L₁² + L₂² = n² L₂²
L₁² = (n²-1) L₂²

Answer:
The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.
Explanation:
In order to use the rule of thumb to find the speed of sound in meters per second, we need to use some conversion ratios. We know there is 1 mile per every 5 seconds after the lightning is seen. We also know that there are 5280ft in 1 mile and we also know that there are 0.3048m in 1ft. This is enough information to solve this problem. We set our conversion ratios like this:
notice how the ratios were written in such a way that the units got cancelled when calculating them. Notice that in one ratio the miles were on the numerator of the fraction while on the other they were on the denominator, which allows us to cancel them. The same happened with the feet.
The problem asks us to express the answer to one significant figure so the speed of sound rounds to 300m/s.
For the second part of the problem we need to use conversions again. This time we will write our ratios backwards and take into account that there are 1000m to 1 km, so we get:
This means that for every 3.11s there will be a distance of 1km from the place where the lightning stroke. Since this is a rule of thumb, we round to the nearest integer for the calculations to be made easily, so the rule goes like this:
The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.
