The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in circular motion. It is usually directed towards the center of the rotation.

It is given by:

a = v²/r

where v is the velocity and r is the radius.

Given that the radius (r) = 4 m, velocity (v) = 0.419 m/s, hence:

a = v²/r = 0.419²/4 =  0.044 m/s²

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

The more twists per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to ____.
Murljashka [212]
The more twist per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to cross talk. A cross talk in network planning and design is a disturbance produced by electromagnetic interference beside a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal interrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can source the signals to turn out to be confused and cross over each other.

A 1,000 kg car is driving on a 15 m high bridge at 5 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the car?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

KE=12,500J

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

We can plug in the given values into the equation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}*1000kg*(5m/s)^2

KE = 500kg*25m^2/s^2

KE=12,500J

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of sound is 342 m/s. When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune wi
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

5.15348 Beats/s

4.55 mm

Explanation:

v_1 = Velocity of sound = 342 m/s

v_2 = Velocity of sound = 346 m/s

f_1 = First frequency = 440 Hz

Frequency is given by

f_2=\frac{v_2}{2L_1}\\\Rightarrow f_2=\frac{346}{2\times 0.38863}\\\Rightarrow f_2=445.15348\ Hz

Beat frequency is given by

|f_1-f_2|=|440-445.15348|=5.15348\ Beats/s

Beat frequency is 5.15348 Hz

Wavelength is given by

\lambda_1=\frac{v_1}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_1=\frac{342}{440}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_1=0.77727\ m

Relation between length of the flute and wavelength is

\lambda_1=2L_1\\\Rightarrow L_1=\frac{\lambda_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_1=\frac{0.77727}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_1=0.38863\ m

At v = 346 m/s

\lambda_2=\frac{v_2}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\frac{346}{440}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_1=0.78636\ m

L_2=\frac{\lambda_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\frac{0.78636}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=0.39318\ m

Difference in length is

\Delta L=L_2-L_1\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.39318-0.38863\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.00455\ m=4.55\ mm

It extends to 4.55 mm
