A man stands on his balcony, 130 feet above the ground. He looks at the ground, with his sight line forming an angle of 70° with

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

d = 380 feet

Explanation:

Height of man = perpendicular= 130 feet

Angle of depression = ∅ = 70 °

distance to bus stop from man = hypotenuse = d = 130 sec∅

As sec ∅ = 1 / cos∅

so d = 130 sec∅ or d = 130 / cos∅

d = 130 / cos(70°)

d = 380 feet

A turntable rotates counterclockwise at 76 rpm . A speck of dust on the turntable is at 0.47 rad at t=0. What is the angle of th

icang [17]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

By definition we know that the displacement when there is constant angular velocity is

$\theta= \theta_0 +\omega t$

From our given data we know that,

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}$

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})$

$\omega = 7.958rad/s$

Moreover we know that

$\theta_0 = 0.47 rad$

Therefore for time t=8.1s we have,

$\theta= \theta_0+ \omega t$

$\theta= 0.47+(7.958)(8.1)$

$\theta = 64.9298rad$

That number in revolution is:

$\theta = 64.9298rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi})$

$\theta = 15.108 Revolutions$

Here, we see that there are 15 complete revolutions

And 0.108 revolutions i not complete, so the tunable rotation is

$\theta_{net} = 0.108*2\pi=0.216\pi$

Therefore the angle of the speck at a time 8.1s is $0.216\pi$

A bicyclist of mass 68 kg rides in a circle at a speed of 3.9 m/s. If the radius of the circle is 6.5 m, what is the centripetal

ASHA 777 [7]

Data:
Centripetal Force = ? (Newton)
m (mass) = 68 Kg
s (speed) = 3.9 m/s
R (radius) = 6.5 m

Formula:
$F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{m*s^2}{R}$

Solving:
$F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{m*s^2}{R}$
$F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{68*3.9^2}{6.5}$
$F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{68*15.21}{6.5}$
$F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{1034.28}{6.5}$
$\boxed{\boxed{F_{centripetal\:force} = 159.12\:N}}$
