If the ride is turning at a constant rate, then the acceleration is all centripetal, and zero tangential.

I think that the girl has greater tangential acceleration because she is closer to the center and the acceleration is greater there.

How could the combustibility of a substance influence how the substances used
aliina [53]

Answer:

Combustibility is a measure of how easily a substance bursts into flame, through fire or combustion. This is an important property to consider when a substance is used for construction or is being stored. It is also important in processes that produce combustible substances as a by-product.

For a machine with 35-cm -diameter wheels, what rotational frequency (in rpm) do the wheels need to pitch a 85 mph fastball?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The rotational frequency must be 2073.56 rpm

Explanation:

Notice that we need to obtain a rotational frequency in "rpm" (revolutions per minute), so we better start by converting all the given information into the appropriate units:

The magnitude of the velocity for the pitch is given in miles per hour, while the diameter of the machine's wheels is given in cm. Let's reduce all units of length into meters(using the metric system), and the units of time into minutes.

Conversion of the 85 mph  speed into meters per minute:

Recall that 1 mile equals 1609.34 meters, and that 1 hour equals 60 minutes, so we write:

85\,\frac{miles}{hour} = 85\,\frac{1609.34\,m}{60\,min} =2279.898\,\frac{m}{min}

which can be rounded to approximately 2280 m/min.

We also convert the 35 cm diameter into meters:

diameter = 0.35 m

Now we use the equation that relates angular velocity (w) and the radius (R) of the circular movement, with tangential velocity (v_t), in order to obtain the angular velocity of the wheel:

v_t=w*R\\w=\frac{v_t}{R}

but recall that this angular velocity is given in radians per unit of time. So first find the radius of the wheel (half its diameter). R = 0.175 m

So we have:

w=\frac{2280}{0.175}\frac{radians}{min} \\w=13028.57\,\frac{radians}{min}

And now, recalling that 2\pi radians equal one revolution, we convert the angular velocity ot revolutions per minute by dividing the "w" we found by 2\pi :

rotational frequency = \frac{13028.57}{2\pi} \frac{rev}{min} = 2073.56 \frac{rev}{min}

xeze [42]
Efficiency is defined as the measure of the amount of work or energy is conserved in a certain process. At all times, in every process, work or energy is always lost or wasted due to certain interference. Not all work given is converted to useful work or energy. Thus , efficiency is calculated by dividing the energy or work output to the energy or work input then the value is multiplied by 100 to express efficiency as percentage.

Efficiency = work output / work input
Efficiency = (1020 J / 1200 J) = 85%

A perpetual motion machine is (as the name implies) a machine that moves perpetually; it never stops. Ever. So if you created one today and set it going, it would keep on going until the Big Freeze<span>. Calling that “a long time” is an understatement of epic proportions</span>

A student attaches a block to a vertical spring so that the block-spring system will oscillate if the block-spring system is rel
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Time period of the motion will remain the same while the amplitude of the motion will change

Explanation:

As we know that time period of oscillation of spring block system is given as

T= 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}

now we know that

M = mass of the object

k = spring constant

So here we know that the time period is independent of the gravity

while the maximum displacement of the spring from its mean position will depends on the gravity as

mg = kx

x = \frac{mg}{k}

so we can say that

Time period of the motion will remain the same while the amplitude of the motion will change
