So v=d/s so the answer is 6/3.2 so the answer is 1.87m/s

The tires on your truck have 0.35 m radius. In a straight line, you drive 2600 m. What is the angular displacement of the tire,

Travka [436]

1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement $\theta$ is given by
$\theta = \frac{S}{r}$
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire: $S=2600 m$ . Using the information about the radius, $r=0.35 m$ , we find the total angular displacement:
$\theta = \frac{2600 m}{0.35 m} =7428 rad$

2) If we put larger tires, with radius $r=0.60 m$ , the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
$\theta = \frac{2600 m}{0.60 m}=4333 rad$

A college student holds a pail full of water by the handle and whirls it around in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The ra

Pavlova-9 [17]

The minimum speed of the water must be 3.4 m/s

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the water in the pail when it is at the top of its circular motion:

The force of gravity, mg, acting downward (where m is the mass of the water and g the acceleration of gravity)
The normal reaction, N also acting downward

Since the water is in circular motion, the net force must be equal to the centripetal force, so:

$N+mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}$
