what would have happened if there had been satellites during the time of the 1900 galveston hurricane?

1 answer:

8 0

The satellites most likely would’ve helped prevent a lot of deaths, and be able to use the information to warn the people in the area before it hit.

A potter spins his wheel at 0.98 rev/s. The wheel has a mass of 4.2 kg and a radius of 0.35 m. He drops a chunk of clay of 2.9 k

Answer:

$v_{f,w} = 1.791\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{f,c} = 0.972\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The situation can be modelled by applying the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

$I_{w} \cdot \omega_{o} = (I_{w} + I_{c})\cdot \omega_{f}$

The final angular speed is:

$\omega_{f} = \frac{I_{w}}{I_{w}+I_{c}}\cdot \omega_{o}$

$\omega_{f} = \left(\frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.2\,kg)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2} }{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.2\,kg)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (2.9\,kg)\cdot (0.19\,m)^{2}}\right)\cdot (0.98\,\frac{rev}{s} )\cdot \left(\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} \right)$

$\omega_{f} \approx 5.116\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The tangential velocities of the wheel and the clay are, respectively:

$v_{f, w} = (0.35\,m)\cdot (5.116\,\frac{rad}{s} )$

$v_{f,w} = 1.791\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v_{f, c} = (0.19\,m) \cdot (5.116\,\frac{rad}{s} )$

$v_{f,c} = 0.972\,\frac{m}{s}$

A phone cord is 2.28 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.2 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut

Debora [2.8K]

The characteristics of the speed of the traveling waves allows to find the result for the tension in the string is:

T = 10 N

The speed of a wave on a string is given by the relationship.

v = $\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu } }$

Where v es the velocty, t is the tension ang μ is the lineal density.

They indicate that the length of the string is L = 2.28 m and the pulse makes 4 trips in a time of t = 0.849 s, since the speed of the pulse in the string is constant, we can use the uniform motion ratio, where the distance traveled e 4 L

v = $\frac{d}{t}$
