If a yo-yo is spinning so that it makes 240 revolutions every minute, what is its period?

Physics
1 answer:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 0.25 seconds.

Explanation:

The yo-yo does 240 revolutions in one minute, and we know that one minute has 60 seconds, then the revolutions per second can be calculated as:

240 rev/60s = 4 rev/s, this will be the frequency of the yo-yo

The frequency is actually written as: f = 4 Hz = 4 s^-1

We want to find the period of this yo-yo.

The period is the duration of one cycle, and we have the relation:

f = 1/T

Where f is the frequency and T is the period, then:

T = 1/f

And we know the value of f, it is f = 4 s^-1

Then the period will be:

T = 1/(4 s^-1) = (1/4) s

Then the period of the yo-yo is 1/4 seconds = 0.25 seconds.

A climber using bottled oxygen accidentally drops the oxygen bottle from an altitude of 4500 m. If the bottle fell straight down
Trava [24]

Answer:

v= 300 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

altitude ,h= 4500 m

The mass ,m = 3 kg

Lets take acceleration due to gravity , g= 10 m/s²

The speed before impact at sea  level =  v

Initial speed ,u = 0 m/s

We know that

v²=u²+2 g h

v=final speed

u=initial speed

h=height

Now by putting the values in the above equation

v² = 0²+ 2 x 10 x 4500

v²=90000

v= 300 m/s

Therefore the speed at sea level will be 300 m/s.

When jumping, a flea reaches a takeoff speed of 1.0 m/s over a distance of 0.47 mm .What is the flea's acceleration during the j
garri49 [273]
We can use kinematics here if we assume a constant acceleration (not realistic, but they want a single value answer, so it's implied). We know final velocity, vf, is 1.0 m/s, and we cover a distance, d, of 0.47mm or 0.00047 m (1m = 1000mm for conversion). We also can assume that the flea's initial velocity, vi, is 0 at the beginning of its jump. Using the equation vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad, we can solve for our acceleration, a. Like so: a = (vf^2 - vi^2)/2d = (1.0^2 - 0^2)/(2*0.00047) = 1,064 m/s^2, not bad for a flea!

A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ) Let the initial horizontal velocity of car be v .

For vertical displacement

vertical displacement h = 21.3 - 2.3 = 19 m

Time taken to fall by 19 m be t

19 = 1/2 x 9.8 t² ( initial downward velocity is zero )

t = 1.97 s

This is also the time taken to cover horizontal displacement of 54 m which is width of river .

horizontal speed v = 54 / 1.97 m /s

v = 27.41 m /s

2 )

At the time of landing on other side , car will have both vertical and horizontal speed .

vertical speed

v = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 1.97 = 19.31 m /s

horizontal speed will remain same as  the initial speed = 27.41 m /s

Resultant speed = √ ( 27.41² + 19.31² )

= √ ( 751.3 + 372.87)

= 33.52 m /s

What is the density of mass 45.837grams volume 1703.3414centimeters
Finger [1]

density equals mass over volume for example: d=m/v, so 45.837g/1703.3414cm =

p = 0.02691 g/cm3  

=11.943cm

You would have to do some conversion to get the 11.943cm
