A specific example of how light year is used in space exploration. Pick one object in space (the nearest star, the nearest galax

Alpha Centauri A is about 93 million miles away from the Earth and it takes light 4.367 years to reach there.

With the aid of a string, a gyroscope is accelerated from rest to 16 rad/s in 0.40 s. what is its angular acceleration in rad/s2

vovikov84 [41]

Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)

Change in angular speed = (ending speed) minus (starting speed)

Change in angular speed = (16 rad/s) - (zero) = 16 rad/s .

Angular acceleration = (16 rad/s) / (0.4 s)

(Average) angular acceleration = 40 rad/s²

A capacitor is charged until it holds 5.0 j of energy. it is then connected across a 10-kω resistor. in 13.6 ms , the resistor d

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The capacite is C=5.32 uF using the equations of voltage and energy in capacitance

Explanation:

The energy holds is 5 J and the resistor dissipates 2J so the energy total is 3J

Using:

$V_{t}= V_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }$

Voltage in this case is the energy dissipated so

$E_{t}= E_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }$

$\frac{\sqrt{E_t} }{\sqrt{E_o} } = e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }$

$\frac{\sqrt{3 J} }{\sqrt{5J} } = e^{\frac{-13.6ms}{10kw*C} }$

Using the equation to find capacitance

$ln 0.775= e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\ln(0.775)= ln * e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3s} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\\\ln(0.775)= {\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\C= \frac{-13.6 x10^{-3} }{10x10x^{3}*ln(0.775) }$

$C= 5.32x10^{-6}$ F

C= 5.32 uF because u is the symbol for micro that is equal to $10^{-6}$

A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The

Arada [10]

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>

The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m

where

Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67

a = 4.15 m/s²

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.
