A 3.45-kg centrifuge takes 100 s to spin up from rest to its final angular speed with constant angular acceleration. A point loc

ated 8.00 cm from the axis of rotation of the centrifuge moves with a speed of 150 m/s when the centrifuge is at full speed.
(a) What is the angular acceleration (in rad/s^2) of the centrifuge as it spins up?
(b) How many revolutions does the centrifuge make as it goes from rest to its final angular speed?

Answer:

(a) 18.75 rad/s²

(b) 14920.78 rev

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the acceleration of the centrifuge using,

a = (v-u)/t......................... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: v = 150 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest), t = 100 s

Substitute into equation 1

a = (150-0)/100

a = 1.5 m/s²

Secondly we calculate for the angular acceleration using

α = a/r..................... Equation 2

Where α = angular acceleration, r = radius of the centrifuge

Given: a = 1.5 m/s², r = 8 cm = 0.08 m

substitute into equation 2

α = 1.5/0.08

α = 18.75 rad/s²

(b)

Using,

Ф = (ω'+ω).t/2........................... Equation 3

Where Ф = number of revolution of the centrifuge, ω' = initial angular velocity, ω = Final angular velocity.

But,

ω = v/r and ω' = u/r

therefore,

Ф = (u/r+v/r).t/2

where u = 0 m/s (at rest), = 150 m/s, r = 0.08 m, t = 100 s

Ф = [(0/0.08)+(150/0.08)].100/2

Ф = 93750 rad

If,

1 rad = 0.159155 rev,

Ф = (93750×0.159155) rev

Ф = 14920.78 rev

Suppose you are drinking root beer from a conical paper cup. The cup has a diameter of 10 centimeters and a depth of 13 centimet

sveta [45]

Answer:

The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is :

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \pi\times r^2\times h$

Where, V is the volume of the cone

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

The ratio of the radius and the height remains constant in overall the cone.

Thus, given that, r = d / 2 = 10 / 2 cm = 5 cm

h = 13 cm

r / h = 5 / 13

r = {5 / 13} h

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \frac {22}{7}\times ({{{\frac {5}{13}\times h}}})^2\times h$

$V=\frac {550}{3549}\times h^3$

Also differentiating the expression of volume w.r.t. time as:

$\frac {dV}{dt}=\frac {550}{3549}\times 3\times h^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

Given: $\frac {dV}{dt}$ = -4 cm³/sec (negative sign to show leaving)

h = 10 cm

So,

$-4=\frac{550}{3549}\times 3\times {10}^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

$\frac{55000}{1183}\times \frac {dh}{dt}=-4$

$\frac {dh}{dt}=-0.08603\ cm/s$

A spring is stretched 6 in by a mass that weighs 8 lb. The mass is attached to a dashpot mechanism that has a damping constant o

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

y= 240/901 cos 2t+ 8/901 sin 2t

Explanation:

To find mass m=weighs/g

m=8/32=0.25

To find the spring constant

Kx=mg (given that c=6 in and mg=8 lb)

K(0.5)=8 (6 in=0.5 ft)

K=16 lb/ft

We know that equation for spring mass system

my''+Cy'+Ky=F

now by putting the values

0.25 y"+0.25 y'+16 y=4 cos 20 t ----(1) (given that C=0.25 lb.s/ft)

Lets assume that at steady state the equation of y will be

y=A cos 2t+ B sin 2t

To find the constant A and B we have to compare this equation with equation 1.

Now find y' and y" (by differentiate with respect to t)

y'= -2A sin 2t+2B cos 2t

y"=-4A cos 2t-4B sin 2t

Now put the values of y" , y' and y in equation 1

0.25 (-4A cos 2t-4B sin 2t)+0.25(-2A sin 2t+2B cos 2t)+16(A cos 2t+ B sin 2t)=4 cos 20 t

So by comparing the coefficient both sides

30 A+ B=8

A-30 B=0

So we get

A=240/901 and B=8/901

So the steady state response

y= 240/901 cos 2t+ 8/901 sin 2t

The length of a 60 W, 240 Ω light bulb filament is 60 cm Remembering that the current in the filament is proportional to the ele

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Finally current will be

i = 0.35 A

Explanation:

As we know that power of the bulb is given by the formula

$P = \frac{V^2}{R}$

now we have

$P = 60 W$

R = 240 ohm

so we have

$60 = \frac{V^2}{240}$

$V = 120 Volts$

now the current in the bulb is given as

$i = \frac{V}{R}$

$i = \frac{120}{240} = 0.5 A$

now when length of the filament is double

so the resistance of the wire also gets double

so we have

$P = \frac{V^2}{R}$

$60 = \frac{V^2}{480}$

$V = 169.7 volts$

now the current in the bulb is given as

$V = i R$

$169.7 = i(480)$

$i = 0.35 A$

5. Measure: With the lights on, click Pause. Turn on Show rulers. A. The wavelength of a longitudinal wave is equal to the dista

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

A) The distance between the two successive compressions (or rarefactions) is actually called the wavelength of the longitudinal waves.

B) Wavelengths of longitudinal and transverse waves are comparable in the fact that in a transverse wave, the particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels whereas in a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced along the direction to the direction the wave travels
