Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a.0.120mm

b.1.58s

c.0.6329Hz

Explanation:

a. Given that 0.120mm is displaced from equilibrium, 0.120mm after 0.790s on opposite side:

-The amplitude is the maximum displacement from equilibrium.

-The object goes from x=+A to x=-A and back during one cycle.

#Hence, the amplitude of the motion is 0.120mm

b.Motion from maximum positive displacement to maximum negative displacement takes places during half the period of Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM)

0.790s=T/2\\\\T=0.790s\times 2\\\\T=1.58s

#Hence, the period of the motion is 1.58s

c. Frequency is calculated as one divided by the period of the motion.

From b above we know that the motions period is 1.58s

Therefore:

<em>Frequency=1/period=1/1.58=0.6329Hz</em>

<em>#</em><em>The frequency of the motion is </em><em>0.6329Hz</em>

A wheel rotates without friction about a stationary horizontal axis at the center of the wheel. A constant tangential force equa
love history [14]

Answer:

I = 16 kg*m²

Explanation:

Newton's second law for rotation

τ = I * α   Formula  (1)

where:

τ : It is the moment applied to the body.  (Nxm)

I :  it is the moment of inertia of the body with respect to the axis of rotation (kg*m²)

α : It is angular acceleration. (rad/s²)

Kinematics of the wheel

Equation of circular motion uniformly accelerated :  

ωf = ω₀+ α*t  Formula (2)

Where:  

α : Angular acceleration (rad/s²)  

ω₀ : Initial angular speed ( rad/s)  

ωf : Final angular speed ( rad

t : time interval (rad)

Data  

ω₀ = 0

ωf = 1.2 rad/s

t = 2 s

Angular acceleration of the wheel  

We replace data in the formula (2):  

ωf = ω₀+ α*t

1.2= 0+ α*(2)

α*(2) = 1.2

α = 1.2 / 2

α = 0.6 rad/s²

Magnitude of the net torque (τ )

τ = F *R

Where:

F  = tangential force (N)

R  = radio (m)

τ = 80 N *0.12 m

τ = 9.6 N *m

Rotational inertia of the wheel

We replace data in the formula (1):

τ = I * α

9.6 = I *(0.6 )

I = 9.6 / (0.6 )

I = 16 kg*m²

What is the amplitude of an AC voltage waveform, in units of Volts, if the RMS value is 369 V?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

521.8 V

Explanation:

The RMS value of the voltage of an AC signal is given by

V_{rms}=\frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}

where

V_0 is the peak voltage, which corresponds to the amplitude of the AC waveform

In this problem, we know the RMS voltage

V_{rms}=369 V

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the peak voltage (the amplitude of the waveform):

V_0 = \sqrt{2}V_{rms}=\sqrt{2}(369 V)=521.8 V

A juggler throws a ball straight up into the air. The ball remains in the air for a time (t) before it lands back in the juggler
natka813 [3]

Answer:

9.8 m/s^2, downward

Explanation:

There is only one force acting on the ball during its motion: the force of gravity, which is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

According to Newton's second law,

F=ma

where F is the net force on the object and a is its acceleration. Rearranging for a,

a=\frac{F}{m}

As we said, the only force acting on the ball is gravity, so F = mg and the acceleration of the ball is:

a=\frac{mg}{m}=g

Therefore, the ball has a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 downward for the entire motion.
