Answer:

The minutes hand travels 39.60 cm.

Explanation:

Note: a clock has a shape of a circle, the minutes hand is the radius, and the travel of the minutes hand forms a arc.

Length of an arc = ∅/360(2πr)

L = ∅/360(2πr).................... Equation 1π

Where L = length of an arc, ∅ = angle formed by an arc, r = radius of the arc.

Given:  ∅ = 252°, r = 9 cm, π = 3.143.

Substituting these values into equation 1,

L = 252/360(2×3.143×9)

L = 0.7×2×3.143×9

L = 39.60 cm.

Thus the minutes hand travels 39.60 cm.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Impulse = 90

Resulting Velocity = 89

Explanation:

Use F * change in time = m * change in velocity.

For the first part of the question, the left side of the equation is the impulse. Plug it in.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 90.

For the second half. we use all parts of the equation. I'm gonna use vf for the final velocity.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 10 * (vf - 80). Simplify.

90 = 10vf - 800. Simplify again.

890 = 10vf. Divide to simplify and get the answer.

The resulting velocity is 89.

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. the system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg · m2. the father
-Dominant- [34]
<span>At time t1 = 0 since the body is at rest, the body has an angular velocity, v1, of 0. At time t = X, the body has an angular velocity of 1.43rad/s2. Since Angular acceleration is just the difference in angular speed by time. We have 4.44 = v2 -v1/t2 -t1 where V and t are angular velocity and time. So we have 4.44 = 1.43 -0/X - 0. Hence X = 1.43/4.44 = 0.33s.</span>

A dolphin swims due east for 1.90 km, then swims 7.20 km in the direction south of west. What are the magnitude and direction of
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

magnitude = 7.446 km, direction = 75.22° north of east

Explanation:

From the questions,

To get the the magnitude of the resultant vector we use Pythagoras theorem

a² = b²+c²

From the diagram,

y² = 1.9²+7.2²

y² = 55.45

y = √(55.45)

y = 7.446 km.

The direction of the dolphin is given as,

θ = tan⁻¹(7.2/1.9)

θ = tan⁻¹(3.7895)

θ = 75.22° north of east

Hence the magnitude of the resultant vector = 7.446 km, and it direction is 75.22° north of east

Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm sli
Orlov [11]

Answer:

a.3.20m

b.0.45cm

Explanation:

a. Equation for minima is defined as: sin \theta=\frac{m\lambda}{\alpha}

Given m=3,\lambda=6.33\times 10^-^7 and \alpha=0.00015:

#Substitute our variable values in the minima equation to obtain \theta:

\theta=sin^-^1 (\frac{3\times 6.33\times 10^-^7}{0.00015})\\\\\theta=0.01266rad

#draw a triangle to find the relationship between \theta, y \ and L.

tan(\theta)=y/L               #where y=4.05cm

L=y/tan(\theta)=3.20

Hence the screen is 3.20m from the split.

b.  To find the closest minima for green(the fourth min will give you the smallest distance)

#Like with a above, the minima equation will be defined as:

sin \theta=\frac{m\lambda}{\alpha}, where m=4 given that it's the minima with the smallest distance.

sin \theta=\frac{4\lambda}{\alpha}\\\theta=sin^-^1 (\frac{4\times 6.33\times 10^-^7}{0.00015})\\\\\theta=0.01688rad

#we then use tan(\theta)=y/L to calculate L=4.5cm

Then from the equation subtract y_3 from y:

4.50cm-4.05cm=0.45cm

Hence, the distance \bigtriangleup y is 0.45cm

three neutral metal cans mounted on isulating stands are touching a negatively charge ballon is brought near can a can b is then
Nimfa-mama [501]
Charge on can A is positive. 
Charge on can C is negative.  
Punctuation and capitalization are very useful things to pay attention to and this question would be a lot easier to understand if you had actually used both capitalization and punctuation. If I'm understanding the question, you have 3 metal can that are insulated from the environment and initially touching each other in a straight line. Then a negatively charged balloon is brought near, but not touching one of the cans in that line of cans. While the balloon is near, the middle can is removed. Then you want to know the charge on the can that was nearest the balloon and the charge on the can that was furthermost from the balloon. 
 As the balloon is brought near to can a, the negative charge on the balloon repels some of the electrons from can a (like charges repel). Some of those electrons will flow to can b and in turn flow to can c. Basically you'll have a charge gradient that's most positive on that part of the can that's closest to the balloon, and most negative on the part of the cans that's furthest from the balloon. You then remove can B which causes cans A and C to be electrically isolated from each other and prevents the flow of elections to equalize the charges on cans A and C when the balloon is removed. So you're left with a deficiency of electrons on can A, so can A will have a positive overall charge, and an excess of electrons on can C, so can C will have a negative overall charge.
