Answer:

F = 1263.03 N

Explanation:s

given,                      

mass of the disk thrower = 100 Kg

mass of the disk = 2 Kg                

angular speed of the disk  = 4 rev/s

arm outstretched = 1 m                  

centripetal force of the disk in the circular path

F = m ω² r                        

ω = 4 x 2 x π        

ω = 25.13 rad/s

F = m ω² r                      

F = 2 x 25.13² x 1

F = 1263.03 N                                              

hence, centripetal force equal to the F = 1263.03 N

In your own words, describe why melting ice with salt freezes cream. Compare your descriptions to your classmates and describe h
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Water normally freezes at 0°C (32°F). Salt lowers the freezing temperature. (That is, it can remain a liquid at much lower temperatures.)

When sprinkled on ice, the salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water which effectively melts the ice when the salt dissolves into it. There is a limit to how low it can reduce the temperature, though. If the temperature drops below -9°C (15°F), it's too cold for the salt to dissolve into the ice.

When making ice cream, the salt lowers the temperature of the ice and water sufficiently enough to freeze the cream.

2. Four resistors of 2 ohm each are connected first in series and then in parallel with a battery.Find the ratio of electric cur
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Ratio of series current to parallel

= 1 : 8

Explanation:

Total resistance Rt

For series, Rt = 2+2+2+2 = 4ohms

For parallel, 1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2

1/Rt = 4/2, Rt = 2/4 ohms.

If we use a 1V battery, then,

I = V/Rt

I = 1/4 = 0.25 ampere for series arrangement.

I = 1/0.5 = 2 ohms.

Ratio of current of series to parallel = 0.25 : 2

= 1 : 8

The top of the pool table is 0.810 m from the floor. the placement of the tape is such that 0 m is aligned with the edge of the
8090 [49]
Compute first for the vertical motion, the formula is:

y = gt²/2 

0.810 m = (9.81 m/s²)(t)²/2 

t = 0.4064 s 


whereas the horizontal motion is computed by: 

x = (vx)t 

4.65 m = (vx)(0.4064 s) 

4.65 m/ 0.4064s = (vx)

(vx) = 11.44 m / s
So look for the final vertical speed. 

(vy) = gt 

(vy) = (9.81 m/s²)(0.4064 s) 

(vy) = 3.99 m/s 


speed with which it hit the ground: 

v = sqrt[(vx)² + (vy)²] 

v = sqrt[(11.44 m/s)² + (3.99 m/s)²] 

v = 12.12 m / s

An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating  before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= \frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

A rocket blasts off from the Earth's surface. During the initial phase of flight, the engine of the rocket burns fuel at a rate
Katen [24]

Answer:

αβ = Ma

Explanation:

By Newton's 2nd Law, the equation governing the motion of the rocket while the rocket is burning fuel is

αβ = Ma where  α = rocket's fuel burning rate, β = relative to the velocity of the rocket, M = instantaneous mass of the rocket and a = acceleration of rocket.
