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

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider dives to a height of 278 mete

Verdich [7]

Answer:

<em>The glider's new speed is 68.90 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Principle Of Conservation Of Mechanical Energy</u>

The mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy. When the only potential energy considered in the system is related to the height of an object, then it's called the gravitational potential energy. The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and speed v is

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The gravitational potential energy when it's at a height h from the zero reference is

$U=mgh$

The total mechanical energy is

$M=K+U$

$\displaystyle M=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh$

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states the total energy is constant while no external force is applied to the system. One example of a non-conservative system happens when friction is considered since part of the energy is lost in its thermal manifestation.

The initial conditions of the problem state that our glider is glides at 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The initial mechanical energy is

$\displaystyle M_1=\frac{1}{2}m(45.2)v_o^2+m(9.8)(416)$

Operating in terms of m

$\displaystyle M_1=1021.52m+4076.8m$

$\displaystyle M_1=5098.32m$

Then we know the glider dives to 278 meters and we need to know their final speed, let's call it $v_f$ . The final mechanical energy is

$\displaystyle M_2=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2+m(9.8)(278)$

Operating and factoring

$\displaystyle M_2=m(\frac{1}{2}v_f^2+2724.4)$

Both mechanical energies must be the same, so

$\displaystyle m(\frac{1}{2}v_f^2+2724.4)=5098.32m$

Simplifying by m and rearranging

$\displaystyle \frac{v_f^2}{2}=5098.32-2724.4$

Computing

$v_f=\sqrt{4747.84}=68.90\ m/s$

The glider's new speed is 68.90 m/s

You are using a rope to lift a 14.5 kg crate of fruit. Initially you are lifting the crate at 0.500 m/s. You then increase the t

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

W = 172.5 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of the fruit crate = 14.5 kg

initial velocity to lift = 0.500 m/s

increase in the tension = 150 N

lift of crate = 1.15 m

work done by the tension = ?

work done = force x displacement

W = F s cos θ

θ = 0°

W = F s x cos 0

W = 150 x 1.15 x 1

W = 172.5 J

Work done on the crate by the tension force = W = 172.5 J

Answer:

If they are metallic spheres they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches

non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing

Explanation:

For fillers, there are two fundamental methods, depending on the type of material.

If they are metallic spheres, they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches, this induces a charge of opposite sign and of equal magnitude, then it removes the contact to earth and the sphere is charged.

If the non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing with some material or touching with another charged material, in this case the sphere takes half the charge and when separated each sphere has half the charge and with equal sign.

A beam of electrons moves at right angles to a magnetic field of 4.5 × 10-2 tesla. If the electrons have a velocity of 6.5 × 106

defon

Answer:

$4.7\cdot 10^{-14}N$

Explanation:

For a charge moving perpendicularly to a magnetic field, the force experienced by the charge is given by:

$F=qvB$

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field strength

In this problem,

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

$v=6.5\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B=4.5\cdot 10^{-2} T$

So the force experienced by the electrons is

$F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(6.5\cdot 10^6 m/s)(4.5\cdot 10^{-2} T)=4.7\cdot 10^{-14}N$
