Answer:
The acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.
Explanation:
The centripetal acceleration acts on a body when it is performing a circular motion.
Here, a point on the bicycle is performing circular motion as the rotation of the wheel produces a circular motion.
The centripetal acceleration of a point moving with a velocity and at a distance of
from the axis of rotation is given as:
Here,
∴
Therefore, the acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.
Answer:
Electric potential energy at the negative terminal:
Explanation:
When a particle with charge travels across a potential difference
, then its change in electric potential energy is
In this problem, we know that:
The particle is an electron, so its charge is
We also know that the positive terminal is at potential
While the negative terminal is at potential
Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is
So, the change in potential energy of the electron is
This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.
Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is
From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is
Here,
f = Focal Length
R = Radius
Rearranging to find the radius we have,
Replacing with our values,
R = 2(13.8cm)
R = 27.6cm
Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm
