Answer:

0.10472 radians/minute

Explanation:

It completes a full rotation around that circular clock in 60 minutes. So the angular speed of the minute hand is 2 * pi / 60 = pi / 30 = 0.10472- radians/minute .

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i

hammer [34]

Answer:

$a_M=1.92a_A$

Explanation:

$\omega_M=\omega_A$ = Angular speed

$r_M$ = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

$r_A$ = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

$\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A$

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

What force causes weight? How is weight affected as an object moves farther away from the center of the earth?

stich3 [128]

Gravity affects weight of an object

Its weight reduces as it moves away from the center as gravity is strongest near the core and reduces as you move away

Two 25.0N weights are suspended at opposite ends of a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. What is the tension in the ro

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

tension in rope = 25.0 N

Explanation:

Two forces act on the suspended weight. The force coming down is the gravitational force and the upward force by the tension in the rope.

Since the suspended weight is not accelerating so that the net force will be zero. Therefore the tension in the rope should be 25 N.

∑F = F - W = 0

F = W

so tension in rope = F = T = 25 N

A 0.001kg bullet is fired with a velocity of 800m/s into a soft wood of mass 1kg resting on a smooth surface. Find the final vel

V125BC [204]

The final velocity of the bullet+block is 0.799 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, the total momentum of the bullet-block system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Mathematically, we can write:

$mu+MU=(m+M)v$
