The seconds hand of a clock completes one full revolution around
the face of the clock every minute.

One full revolution = 360 degrees.

The hand revolves  (360 degrees / 60 seconds) = 6 degrees per second.


The tip of the hand travels in a circle, and covers the circumference
of the circle every minute.  The circumference of a circle is

                           (2π) x (radius of the circle).

The length of the hand is the radius of the circle that it travels in,
so the circumference of the circle is

                            (2π) x (6.5 cm)  centimeters.

The tip of the hand covers this distance in 60 seconds,
so its speed is

                             (13π cm) / (60 seconds)  =  0.681 cm/sec.

A 1.15-kg mass oscillates according to the equation x = 0.650 cos(8.40t) where x is in meters and t in seconds. Determine (a) th
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(a) A = 0.650 m

(b) f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) E = 17.1416 J

(d)  K = 11.8835 J

     U = 5.2581 J

Explanation:

Given

m = 1.15 kg

x = 0.650 cos (8.40t)

(a) the amplitude,

A = 0.650 m

(b) the frequency,

if we know that

ω = 2πf = 8.40    ⇒   f = 8.40 / (2π)

⇒   f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) the total energy,

we use the formula

E = m*ω²*A² / 2

⇒  E = (1.15)(8.40)²(0.650)² / 2

⇒  E = 17.1416 J

(d) the kinetic energy and potential energy when x = 0.360 m.

We use the formulas

K = (1/2)*m*ω²*(A² - x²)       (the kinetic energy)

and

U = (1/2)*m*ω²*x²              (the potential energy)

then

K = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*((0.650)² - (0.360)²)

⇒  K = 11.8835 J

U = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*(0.360)²

⇒  U = 5.2581 J

In a circus act, an acrobat rebounds upward from the surface of a trampoline at the exact moment that another acrobat, perched 9
slega [8]

Answer:

1.6 secs

Explanation:

In a circus act, an acrobat upwards from the surface of a trampoline

At that same moment another acrobat perched 9.0m above him

A ball is released from rest

While still in motion the acrobat catches the ball

He left the ball with a trampoline of 5.6m/s

Since the ball is falling downwards from a distance then acceleration will be negative

a= -9.8

s= d

s= 1/2at^2

= 1/2 × (-9.8)t^2

= 0.5× (-9.8)t^2

d = -4.9t^2

Therefore the time the acrobat stays in the air before catching the ball can be calculated as follows

9 - 4.9t^2= 5.6t + 1/2(-9.8)t^2

9 - 4.9t^2= 5.6t + (-4.9)t^2

9 - 4.9t^2= 5.6t - 4.9t^2

9= 5.6t

t= 9/5.6

t= 1.6 secs

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

at the top

Explanation:

Potential energy is the stored energy, mechanical energy,

or energy possessed by by virtue of the position of an object.an example of potential energy is the energy that a ball possesses by virtue of its sitting at the top of the stairs it being about to roll down the stairs.

Why does frost bite occur in mountain climbers ?​
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The higher the altitude the colder

Explanation:

Mountains are very high up obviously higher then the ground. It is colder so it makes it easier for mountain climbers to get frost bite because of the high altitude.

Hope this helps:)
