Answer:

A.) 4 revolution

B.) 0.2 revolution

C.) 4 seconds

D.) 2.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a merry-go-round a.k.a "the spinny thing" is rotating at 15 RPM, and has a radius of 1.75 m

Solution

1 revolution = 2πr

Where r = 1.75m

A. How many revolutions will it make in 3 minutes?

(2π × 1.75) / 3

10.9955 / 3

3.665 RPM

Number of revolution = 15 / 3.665

Number of revolution = 4 revolution

B. How many revolutions will it make in 10.0 seconds?

First convert 10 seconds to minutes

10/60 = 0.167 minute

(2π × 1.75) / 0.167

10.9955 / 0.167

65.973

Number of revolution = 15 / 65.973

Number of revolution = 0.2 revolution

C. How long does it take for a person to make 1 complete revolution?

15 = 1 / t

Make t the subject of formula

t = 1/15

t = 0.0667 minute

t = 4 seconds

D. What is the velocity in m/s of person standing on its edge?

Velocity in m/ s will be:

Velocity = (15 × 2pi × r) / 60

Velocity = 164.9334 / 60

Velocity = 2.75 m/s

alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

A book rests on the shelf of a bookcase. The reaction force to the force of gravity acting on the book is 1. The force of the sh

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1. The force of the shelf holding the book up.

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the book is as follows:

1 - The weight of the book towards downwards

2 - The normal force that the shelf exerts on the book towards upwards.

Since the book is at rest, these two forces are equal to each other and according to Newton's Third Law the reaction force to the force of gravity is equal but opposite to the weight of the book. This reaction force is the one that holds the book up on the shelf.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we must use the relation of the index of refraction with the speed of light in a vacuum and a material medium

n = c / v

where c is the speed of light in the vacuum, v the speed of light in the material medium and n the ratio of rafraccio

in this case they give us that the medium matter water them that has a refractive index of

n = 1,333

we clear

v = c / n

let's calculate

v = 3 10⁸ / 1,333

v = 2.25 10⁸ m / s

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s

What is the best approximate value for the elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring elongated by 3.0 meters?

DIA [1.3K]

The elastic potential energy of the spring is 6.8 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a compressed/stretched spring is given by the equation:

$E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k is the spring constant

x is the elongation of the spring

The spring constant of the spring in this problem can be found by keeping in mind the relationship between force (F) and elongation (x) (Hooke's law):

$F=kx$

By looking at the graph and comparing it with the formula, we realize that the slope of the force-elongation graph corresponds to the spring constant. Therefore in this case,

$k=\frac{15.0-0}{10.0-0}=1.5 N/m$

Therefore when the spring has a elongation of $x=3.0 m$ , its potential energy is

$E=\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(3.0)^2=6.8 J$
