A small button placed on a horizontal rotating platform with diameter 0.320 m will revolve with the platform when it is brought

Otrada [13]

Answer:

0.2687 approximately 0.27

Explanation:

Diameter = 0.320

Speed = 40.0 rev/min

We are required to find coefficient of static friction between friction and button

The radius can be calculated as

0.320/2

= 0.160m

Then we have the rotational speed w = 40rev/min x 2pi/60

= 4.19 rad/s

umg = mrw²

u = mrw²/mg

u = rw²/g -------(1)

g = 9.8

When we put values into equation 1

0.150m x 4.19² / 9.8

= 0.150m x 17.5561 /9.8

= 0.2689

This is approximately 0.27

A lamp hangs from the ceiling at a height of 2.6 m. The lamp has a mass of 3.8 kg. The screws holding the lamp break, and it fal

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion $v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh$

$v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s$

Since mass = 3.8kg

$K.E = 1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules$

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s
