Answer:

a) The linear acceleration of the car is 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, b) The tires did 7.46 revolutions in 2.50 seconds from rest.

Explanation:

a) A tire experiments a general plane motion, which is the sum of rotation and translation. The linear acceleration experimented by the car corresponds to the linear acceleration at the center of the tire with respect to the point of contact between tire and ground, whose magnitude is described by the following formula measured in meters per square second:

\| \vec a \| = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2} + a_{t}^{2}}

Where:

a_{r} - Magnitude of the radial acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

a_{t} - Magnitude of the tangent acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Let suppose that tire is moving on a horizontal ground, since radius of curvature is too big, then radial acceleration tends to be zero. So that:

\| \vec a \| = a_{t}

\| \vec a \| = r \cdot \alpha

Where:

\alpha - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

r - Radius of rotation (Radius of a tire), measured in meters.

Given that \alpha = 15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} and r = 0.31\,m. The linear acceleration experimented by the car is:

\| \vec a \| = (0.31\,m)\cdot \left(15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)

\| \vec a \| = 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The linear acceleration of the car is 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

b) Assuming that angular acceleration is constant, the following kinematic equation is used:

\theta = \theta_{o} + \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}

Where:

\theta - Final angular position, measured in radians.

\theta_{o} - Initial angular position, measured in radians.

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If \theta_{o} = 0\,rad, \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}, \alpha = 15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}, the final angular position is:

\theta = 0\,rad + \left(0\,\frac{rad}{s}\right)\cdot (2.50\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (2.50\,s)^{2}

\theta = 46.875\,rad

Let convert this outcome into revolutions: (1 revolution is equal to 2π radians)

\theta = 7.46\,rev

The tires did 7.46 revolutions in 2.50 seconds from rest.

A force of 25 newtons moves a box a distance of 4 meters in 5 seconds.
Simora [160]

By definition, we have that the work done is given by:

W = F * d

Where,

F: force in the direction of displacement

d: displaced distance

Substituting values we have:

W = (25) * (4)\\W = 100 Nm

Then, the power is given by:

P = \frac{W}{t}

Where,

t: time

Substituting values we have:

P = \frac{100}{5}

P = 20\frac{Nm}{s}

Answer:

The work done on the box is 100 Nm, and the power is 20 Nm/s.

In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 4.9-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

24.07415 rpm

Explanation:

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.63

v = Velocity

d = Diameter = 4.9 m

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{4.9}{2}=2.45\ m

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Here the frictional force balances the rider's weight

f=\mu F_n

The centripetal force balances the weight of the person

\mu m\frac{v^2}{r}=mg\\\Rightarrow \mu \frac{v^2}{r}=g\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{gr}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{9.81\times 2.45}{0.63}}\\\Rightarrow v=6.17656\ m/s

Velocity is given by

v=\omega r\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{v}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{6.17656}{2.45}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.52104\ rad/s

Converting to rpm

2.52104\times \frac{60}{2\pi}=24.07415\ rpm

The minimum angular speed for which the ride is safe is 24.07415 rpm

What is the cost of operating a 100 W light bulb for "4 hrs per day" for 30 days, if the cost of electricity is 6 cents kW•h
Sidana [21]

Answer:

the cost of operating the light bulb is 72 cents.

Explanation:

Given;

cost of electricity, C = 6 cents / kW.h

power of light bulb, P = 100 W

time of light power consumption, t = 4 hours per day for 30 days

total time = 4 hours x 30 = 120 hours

Power consumed by the light bulb is calculated as;

P = 100 x 120 = 12000 w.h = 12 kW.h

Cost of power consumption = 6 cents/kWh x 12 kWh

                                               = 72 cents

Therefore, the cost of operating the light bulb is 72 cents.
