A ceiling fan is turned on and reaches an angular speed of 132 rev/min in 20 s. It is then turned off and coasts to a stop in an

additional 40 s. The ratio of the average angular acceleration for the first 20 s to that for the last 40 s is which of the following?
a. 2
b. -0.5
c. 0.5
d. -2

Answer:

Explanation:

α = (ωf - ωi)/t

acceleration phase

ωf = 132 rev/min (2π rad/rev / 60 s/min) = 4.4π rad/s

α₁ = (4.4π - 0)/20 = 0.22π rad/s²

α₂ = (0 - 4.4π)/40 = - 0.11π rad/s²

α₁/α₂ = 0.22π/- 0.11π = -2

A frictionless cart of mass M is attached to a spring with spring constant k. When the cart is displaced 6 cm from its rest posi
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Explanation:

Solution:

As we know that:

F = Kx

Here,

K = Spring constant

x = displacement.

First, they are displacing it with 6 cm from its rest position for which Time period of the oscillation is T = 2 seconds.

But next, they want to know the effect on the time period of the oscillation if the displacement x is doubled from 6cm to 12 cm.

First of all, let us see the equation of the time period of the oscillation.

We need to check, if time period does depend on the displacement or not.

As we know,

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Since, K is the constant for a particular spring, we need to change the mass of the cart to change the time period.

Hence the Time period will remain same.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

c. A number and a unit

Explanation:

A scalar is a real number. We often use the term scalar in the context of vectors or matrices, to stress that a variable such as a is just a real number and not a vector or matrix.
