The Slowing Earth The Earth's rate of rotation is constantly decreasing, causing the day to increase in duration. In the year 20

06 the Earth took about 0.840 longer to complete 365 revolutions than it did in the year 1906.
What was the average angular acceleration of the Earth during this time? Give your answer in rad/s2

Answer:

The average angular acceleration of the Earth, α  = 6.152 X 10⁻²⁰ rad/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The period of 365 rotation of Earth in 2006, T₁ = 365 days, 0.840 sec

                                                                                  = 3.1536 x 10⁷ +0.840

                                                                                 = 31536000.84 s

The period of 365 rotation of Earth in 2006, T₀ = 365 days

                                                                               = 31536000 s

Therefore, time period of one rotation on 2006, Tₐ = 31536000.84/365

                                                                                   = 86400.0023 s

The time period of rotation is given by the formula,

                                <em>Tₐ = 2π /ωₐ</em>

                                 ωₐ = 2π / Tₐ

Substituting the values,

                                  ωₐ = 2π /  365.046306        

                                      = 7.272205023 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Therefore, the time period of one rotation on 1906, Tₓ = 31536000/365

                                                                                    = 86400 s

Time period of rotation,

                                   Tₓ = 2π /ωₓ

                                    ωₓ = 2π / T

                                           =  2π /86400

                                          = 7.272205217  x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The average angular acceleration

                                   α  = (ωₓ -   ωₐ) /  T₁

             = (7.272205217  x 10⁻⁵ - 7.272205023 x 10⁻⁵) / 31536000.84

                                    α  = 6.152 X 10⁻²⁰ rad/s²

Hence the average angular acceleration of the Earth, α  = 6.152 X 10⁻²⁰ rad/s²

nalin [4]

Answer:

t = 1.02 s

Explanation:

The computation of the time required is shown below:

The package speed for belt is

= 3 -  1

= 2 m/s

Moreover, the decelerative force would be acted on the block i.e u.m.g

So, the decelerative produced

= 0.2 × 9.81

= 1.962 m/s^2

And, final velocity = 0

v = u - at

here

V = 0 = final velocity

 u = 2 m/s

so,

0 = 2 - 1.962 × t

t = 1.02 s

A basketball with mass of 0.8 kg is moving to the right with velocity 6 m/s and hits a volleyball with mass of 0.6 kg that stays
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

26.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial sum of momentum equals the final sum.

p=mv where p is momentum, m is the mass of object and v is the speed of the object

Initial momentum

The initial momentum will be that of basketball and volleyball, Since basketball is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

p_i= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*6+0.6*0=48 Kg.m/s

Final momentum

p_f= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*4+0.6*v_v=32+0.6v Kg.m/s\\32+0.6v_v=48\\0.6v=16\\v_v=16/0.6=26.66666667\approx 26.67 m/s

Newton's rings are visible when a planoconvex lens is placed on a flat glass surface. For a particular lens with an index of ref
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

the new diameter of the third ring = 0.607 mm

Explanation:

Consider the radius of \\m ^{th}\\ bright ring when air is in between the lens and the plate ;

r = \sqrt {\frac{(2m+1)\lambda R}{2}}

Using the expression: r (n)= \sqrt {\frac{(2m+1)\lambda R}{2n}} for the radius of the  \\m ^{th}\\ bright ring since the liquid (water ) of the refractive index 'n' is now in between the lens and the plate;

where;

\\m ^{th}\\ = number of fringe

λ = wavelength

R = radius

n = refractive index of water

Now ;

r (n)=\frac {r}{n}}

the radius r of the third bright ring when the air is in between lens and plate = r= \frac{0.700 \ mm}{2} \\\\

r= 0.35 \ mm

The new radius of the third bright fringe is r(3) = \frac{0.35}{\sqrt 1.33}

r(3) = 0.3035 \ mm

Calculating the new diameter ; we have:

d(3) = 2(r(3))

d(3) = 2(0.3035)

d = 0.607 mm

Thus, the new diameter of the third ring = 0.607 mm

In the absence of air resistance, at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 de
snow_tiger [21]

As we know that range of the projectile motion is given by

R = \frac{v^2 sin(2\theta)}{g}

here we know that range will be same for two different angles

so here we can say the two angle must be complementary angles

so the two angles must be

\theta, 90 - \theta

so it is given that one of the projection angle is 75 degree

so other angle for same range must be 90 - 75 = 15 degree

so other projection angle must be 15 degree

A helicopter, starting from rest, accelerates straight up from the roof of a hospital. The lifting force does work in raising th
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

24,267.6 watts

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following:

mass (m) = 810 kg

final velocity (v) = 7 m/s

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

time (t) = 3.5 s

final height (h₁) = 8.2 m

initial height (h₀) = 0 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the power

power = \frac{work done}[time}

and

work done = change in kinetic energy (K.E) + change in potential energy (P.E)

work done = (0.5 mv^{2} - 0.5 mu^{2} ) + ( mgh₁ - mgh₀)

since u and h₀ are zero the work done now becomes

work done = (0.5 mv^{2}) + ( mgh₁ )                    

work done = (0.5 x 810 x 7^{2}) + ( 810 x 9.8 x 8.2)

work done = 84, 936.6 joules

recall that power = \frac{work done}[time}

power = \frac{84,936.6}[3.5}

power = 24,267.6 watts
