Q. An automobile accelerates from zero to 30 m/s in 6 seconds. The wheels have a diameter of 0.4 m. What is the angular acceleration of each wheel?

A. a = v/t = 30/6 = 5 m/s^2 r=diameter/2 = 0.4/2 = 0.2 m alpha = a/r = 5/0.2 = 25 (rads/s^2)

Q. which of the following types of electromagnetic radiation can be used to check metal parts for damage? X-rays, Microwave or infrared radiation?
Asked by resord72 - Tue Aug 14 21:18:11 2007 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. X-rays. Microwaves and infrared are too well absorbed by metals to be of much use. They simply build up heat or make the electrons crazy. So to speak. X-rays, from decaying radioactive material, can be very good at detecting tiny flaws in metal parts, especially in welds of metallic pieces.

Q. A particular horizontal turntable can be modeled as a uniform disk with a mass of 200 g and a radius of 20 cm that rotates without friction about a vertical axis passing through its center. The initial angular speed of the turntable is 2.4 rad/s. A ball of clay, with a mass of 80 g, is dropped from a height of 35 cm above the turntable. It hits the turntable at a distance of 10 cm from the center, and sticks where it hits so that the clay and the turntable rotate together at a new angular speed. Assuming the turntable is firmly supported by its axle so it remains horizontal at all times, find the final angular speed of the turntable-clay system. please explain how to do it!!

What parts of Physics are very difficult to comprehend?
Q. I'm curious what the hardest-to-understand areas of physics are. I'm in the second year of a physics degree, and I'm curious what might become difficult. I've been able to understand both special and general relativity. Later this year I'll be learning quantum mechanics, particle physics, solid-state physics, and the Schrodinger equation. Which of these topics am I most likely to struggle with (keeping in mind I already understand general relativity)? I'm curious as to why people think you have to be really smart to study physics. Not to say I'm not, but I wonder.

What physics concept is responsible for the front wheels of a race car keeping it from nosing up?

The question is: "The front wheels located far out in front of the racing vehicle help to keep the vehicle from nosing upward when it accelerates. What physics concepts play a role here?" My class is a conceptual physics class and the tests are centered around understanding the concepts. So if anyone could walk me through how to understand this problem that would be great! Thanks!

A. This is most definitely NOT a problem that have anything to do with what the said below people are suggesting. It's not an Acceleration OF gravity, but rather and Acceleration AND Gravity. The problem is actually taking two problems and mixing it into one. A common exam strategy. I haven't done the problem but I'm guessing that it's asking you to find out when the acceleration is no longer greater than the force of gravity.

I choose the physics minor for the mere fact that i already had to take Physics 1 and 2 for my degree so why not take 3 more physics classes instead of 5 more classes of something else. I get through physics courses cause I get the math but other then that I have to have a minor .. I dont know what a minor really says about someone..i hope this makes sense... (here is a list of the physics courses I took for my minor...Physics 1, Physics 2, Modern Physics, Modern Physics Lab, Optics, and Mathematical Physics)

A. WELL, I don't know what to tell you here. If I had to answer the question from a outside perspective (i.e. not having a B.S. in math and a physics minor myself), I would say having the physics minor is a sign that not only are you able to conquer the rigid world of mathematics, but that you are flexible enough to apply the math to a specific discipline, in your case physics, rather than just having a pure logic style of thinking that turns math majors into math Ph.Ds. From my personal perspective, it hasn't meant much. I'm headed into the education field since I haven't been able to solidify a job doing anything I'm interested in related to math or physics. I hope you have a better student services/job placement program at your… [cont.]

What physics topics can be discussed concerning power boats?
Q. I am working on a physics project in which I have to discuss different topics (in physics) that deal with power boats. I can go into detail on the friction of water, velocity, etc., but I was looking for more in-depth details and more interesting concepts. Physics is not my strongest subject, so any intellectual information would be helpful.

Is physics necessary or recommended if I am going to study Maths B?
Q. I was just wondering if I should study physics if I am going to be studying Maths B. Do formula's in physics get used in Maths B? I don't really want to do physics if I dont have too.

A. Ermm...No...not at all... Maths helps physics much more than physics helps maths. Naturally when you get to the mechanics course with resoloving forces and stuff the physics people will have a slight advantage. Other than that, there's really no need to take physics if you're intrested in maths...apart from the fact physics is awesome. :) Regards, Joe

What is the difference between AP Physics B and C?
Q. I am planning to take the AP Physics that covers everything we are supposed to know in Physics during my junior year. And which one is harder?
Asked by biancaonwenu - Sun May 10 20:20:48 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. ap physics c is calculus involved and ap physics b is what i'm taking now...non calculus. i've HEARD that ap phsyics c is hard, but right now for me ap physics B is horrendous. i have the exam tomorrow, i will let you know how that goes.

What is the physics concept of multiple images in a mirror or computer screen?
Q. For example, if you have a webcam that is separate from your computer and you turned it so that it faced the computer, you will see on your computer screen, multiple images of the computer and cascading back. I unfortunately cannot find a photo to demonstrate what I am talking about; but can anyone explain this physics concept to me? Something about reflection? I really don't know. please hurry!

A. It is called Droste Effect. But that is just the name of such artistic expression. Since you post this question under the physics category, perhaps you are looking for an explanation of the effect more than just the name. Basically the effect that you see in two mirrors facing each other or when you point your web-cam towards you computer monitor is a result of a feedback loop that goes on infinitely. When you include the computer monitor in the view of the camera and then the content of the compute monitor is again feed back into the monitor again. So it is a recursive loop of input going to the output and which again feed into the input again and the loop just go infinitely until resolution of the monitor cannot show any finer… [cont.]
