A cyclist traveling at 5m/s uniformly accelerates up to 10 m/s in 2 seconds. Each tire of the bike has a 35 cm radius, and a sma
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

a=2.5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed, u = 5 m/s

Final speed, v = 10 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

The radius of the tire of the bike, r = 35 cm

We need to find the angular acceleration of the pebble during those two seconds. It can be calculated as follows.

a=\dfrac{v-u}t{}\\\\a=\dfrac{10-5}{2}\\\\a=2.5\ m/s^2

So, the required angular acceleration of the pebble is equal to 2.5\ m/s^2.

A professor's office door is 0.99 m wide, 2.2 m high, 4.2 cm thick; has a mass of 27 kg, and pivots on frictionless hinges. A "d
ANEK [815]

Answer:

I=8.8209\ kg.m^2

\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

  • width of door, w=0.99\ m
  • height of the door, h=2.2\ m
  • thickness of the door, t=4.2\ cm
  • mass of the door, m=27\ kg
  • torque on the door, \tau=5.6\ N.m

<em>∵Since the thickness of the door is very less as compared to its other dimensions, therefore we treat it as a rectangular sheet.</em>

  • For a rectangular sheet we have the mass moment of inertia inertia as:

I=\frac{1}{3} m.w^2

I=\frac{1}{3}\times 27\times 0.99^2

I=8.8209\ kg.m^2

We have a relation between mass moment of inertia, torque and angular acceleration as:

\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}

\alpha=\frac{5.6}{8.8209}

\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}

Every winter I fly home to Chicago. It takes 3 hours. What is my average speed?
Tanya [424]

It depends on where you live when you're not visiting Chicago. We need to know the distance of the trip.

Your average speed on the trip is . . .

(total distance in miles) / (3 hours)

miles per hour

A container of volume 0.6 m^3 contains 5.3 mol of argon gas at 24°C. Assuming argon behaves as an ideal gas, find the total inte
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

the internal energy of the gas is 433089.52 J

Explanation:

let n be the number of moles, R be the gas constant and T be the temperature in Kelvins.

the internal energy of an ideal gas is given by:

Ein = 3/2×n×R×T

     = 3/2×(5.3)×(8.31451)×(24 + 273)

     = 433089.52 J

Therefore, the internal energy of this gas is 433089.52 J.
