a) 120 s

b) v = 0.052R [m/s]

Explanation:

The period of a revolution in a simple harmonic motion is the time taken for the object in motion to complete one cycle (in this case, the time taken to complete one revolution).

The graph of the problem is missing, find it in attachment.

To find the period of revolution of the book, we have to find the time between two consecutive points of the graph that have exactly the same shape, which correspond to two points in which the book is located at the same position.

The first point we take is t = 0, when the position of the book is x = 0.

Then, the next point with same shape is at t = 120 s, where the book returns at x = 0 m.

Therefore, the period is

T = 120 s - 0 s = 120 s

The tangential speed of the book is given by the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution, which is the perimeter of the wheel, and the time taken, which is the period.

The perimeter of the wheel is:

$L=2\pi R$

where R is the radius of the wheel.

The period of revolution is:

$T=120 s$

Therefore, the tangential speed of the book is:

$v=\frac{L}{T}=\frac{2\pi R}{120}=0.052R$

At the instant that the velocity of the crate is v⃗ =(3.40m/s)ι^+(2.20m/s)j^, what is the instantaneous power supplied by this f

Zigmanuir [339]

I found some missing information about this problem online. We are given the force:
$F = F =(-7.50N)i +(3.00N)j$
Power is defined as the rate of doing work.
This is the formula:
$P= \frac{dW}{dt}$
Where P is power, W is work.
Work is defined as:
$W=F\cdot r$
F is the force and r is the displacement.
If we assume that force is not changing (it's constant) with time we get:
$P= \frac{dW}{dt}=F \frac{dr}{dt}=F\cdot v$
Keep in mind that both force and velocity are vectors, so we have to multiply each component separately.
Finally, we get:
$P=F_i\cdot v_i+F_j\cdot v_j=(-7.50N)(3.40\frac{m}{s})+(3.00N)(2.20\frac{m}{s})=
-18.9 W$

A cart moves along a track at a velocity of 3.5 cm/s. when a force is applied to the cart, its velocity increases to 8.2 cm/s. i

Acceleration, in physics, is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. <span> Anytime an object's velocity is changing, the object is said to be </span><span>accelerating. It can be calculated as follows:

acceleration = 8.2 - 3.5 / 1.5 = 3.1 m/s</span>²

Hope this answers the question.

A student throws a 0.22 kg rock horizontally at 20.0 m/s from 10.0 m above the ground. Find the initial kinetic energy of the ro

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

44J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 0.22kg

Initial velocity = 20m/s

Distance moved = 10m

Unknown:

Initial kinetic energy of the rock = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to understand that kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as;

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 0.22 x 20² = 44J

7. A local sign company needs to install a new billboard. The signpost is 30 m tall, and the ladder truck is parked 24 m away fr

wolverine [178]

<h2>Solution :</h2>

Here ,

• Height of sign post = 30 m

• Distance between signpost and truck = 24 m

Let the

• Top of signpost = A

• Bottom of signpost = B

• The end of truck facing sign post be = C

Now as we can clearly imagine that the ladder will act as an hypotenuse to the Triangle ABC .

Where

• AB = Height of signpost = 30 m

• BC = distance between both = 24 m

• AC = Minimum length of ladder

→ AC² = AB² + BC² ( As we can see AB is perpendicular to BC )

→ AC² = (30)² + (24)²

→ AC² = 900 + 576

→ AC² = 1476

→ AC = 38.41875

or AC apx = 38.42

So minimum height of ladder = 38.42

While looking at bromine (Br) on the periodic table, a student needs to find another element with very similar chemical properti

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: There are many possible elements, and they are all in the same vertical column as bromine.

Explanation:

In a periodic table, the elements are arranged according to the atomic number. The elements arranged in the same vertical column (known as groups) have same valence configuration and therefore have same chemical properties. Hence, there would be more possible elements having same chemical properties in the same vertical column (group) as Bromine.
