cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

13.37 rev/min

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s², centripetal acceleration (a_c) = 1.8 * g = 1.8 * 9.8 m/s² = 17.64 m/s².

r = 9 m

Centripetal acceleration (a_c) is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} \\\\v=\sqrt{a_c*r} \\\\v=\sqrt{17.64\ m/s^2*9\ m}\\\\v=12.6\ m/s

The velocity (v) is given by:

v = ωr;  where ω is the angular velocity

Hence:

ω = v/r = 12.6 / 9

ω = 1.4 rad/s

ω = 2πN

N = ω/2π = 1.4 / 2π

N = 0.2228 rev/s

N = 13.37 rev/min

a layer of sandstone is in contact with a mass of granite. the sandstone contains small fragments of the granite. which rock is
lara31 [8.8K]
The granite would be older. As millions of years go by, rocks are affected by weathering and erosion. These processes break down rocks and scatter them. Rocks are broken down into sediments, which mix with other layers, which could have been the reason how the layer of sandstone contains the small fragments of granite.

A man weighs himself twice in an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, he weighs 824 N; when the elevator starts moving upward
kifflom [539]

Answer: c. 1.3 m/s^2

Explanation:

When he is at rest, is weight can be calculated as:

W = g*m

where:

m = mass of the man

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

We know that at rest his weight is W = 824N, then we have:

824N = m*9.8m/s^2

824N/(9.8m/s^2) = m = 84.1 kg

Now, when the elevators moves up with an acceleration a, the acceleration that the man inside fells down is g + a.

Then the new weight is calculated as:

W = m*(g + a)

and we know that in this case:

W = 932N

g = 9.8m/s^2

m = 84.1 kg

Then we can find the value of a if we solve:

932N = 84.1kg*(9.8m/s^2 + a)

932N/84.1kg = 11.1 m/s^2 = 9.8m/s^2 + a

11.1 m/s^2 - 9.8m/s^2 = a = 1.3 m/s^2

The correct option is C

Please help.. urgent Which statement is equivalent to Newton's first law? a. 15,300 N b. 1.20*10^3 N c. 2,030 N d. 1,560 N
taurus [48]
According to Newton laws of motion, 
F = m*a
Here, m = 1,560 Kg
a = 1.30 m/s²

Substitute their values, 
F = 1,560 * 1.30
F = 2028 N ~ 2030 N  [ Closest value ]

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
