The rotational speed of the person is 0.4 rad/s.

<h3>Rotational speed (rad/s)</h3>

The rotational speed of the person in radian per second is calculated as follows;

v = ωr

where;

  • v is linear speed in m/s
  • r is radius in meters
  • ω is speed in rad/s

ω = v/r

ω = 2/5

ω = 0.4 rad/s

Thus, the rotational speed of the person is 0.4 rad/s.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Option B) The fuel for nuclear fusion comes from sea water

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion can not be carried out by using any type of water as water is composed of stable water molecules (H_{2}O which is quite difficult to be decayed by any simple method.

Moreover, fusion reactions demands the combination of nuclei of lighter elements for which it makes use of the heavy isotopes of Hydrogen that are Deuterium and Tritium as fuel to carry out the nuclear fusion.

Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy = 14.1 MJ = 14.1 x 10⁶ J

Let radius of flywheel be r .

volume of flywheel = π r² x t where t is thickness

= 3.14 x r² x .113 m³

= .04 r² m³

mass = volume x density

= .04 r² x 7800 = 312.73 r²kg

moment of inertia I = 1 / 2 mass x radius²

= .5 x 312.73 r² x r²

= 156.37 r⁴ kg m²

angular velocity ω = 2π x 93/60

= 9.734 rad /s

kinetic energy = 1/2 Iω² where ω is angular velocity

= .5 x 156.37 r⁴ x 9.734²

= 7408.08 r⁴

Given

7408.08 r⁴ =  14.1 x 10⁶

r⁴ = .19 x 10⁴

r = .66 x 10

= 6.60 m .

Diameter = 13.2 m

b )

centripetal acceleration of a point on its rim = ω² r

= 9.734² x 6.6

= 625.35 m /s²

A motion sensor emits sound, and detects an echo 0.0115 s after. A short time later, it again emits a sound, and hears an echo a
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

1.17 m

Explanation:

From the question,

s₁ = vt₁/2................ Equation 1

Where s₁ = distance of the reflecting object for the first echo, v = speed of the sound in air, t₁ = time to dectect the first echo.

Given: v = 343 m/s, t = 0.0115 s

Substitute into equation 1

s₁ = (343×0.0115)/2

s₁ = 1.97 m.

Similarly,

s₂ = vt₂/2.................. Equation 2

Where s₂ = distance of the reflecting object for the second echo, t₂ = Time taken to detect the second echo

Given: v = 343 m/s, t₂ = 0.0183 s

Substitute into equation 2

s₂ = (343×0.0183)/2

s₂ = 3.14 m

The distance moved by the reflecting object from s₁ to s₂ = s₂-s₁

s₂-s₁ =  (3.14-1.97) m = 1.17 m

a man crossed a road 8.25m wide at a speed of 2.01m/s,how long does it take to get man to cross the road​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

t = 4.1 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Width of road which is to be crossed by a man is 8.25 m, it means it is distance to be covered.

Speed of man is 2.01 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the man to cross the road. It is a concept of speed. Speed of a person is given by total distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t is time taken

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{8.25}{2.01}\\\\t=4.1\ s

So, the time taken by the man to cross the road is 4.1 seconds.
