A turntable that spins at a constant 76.0 rpm takes 3.50 s to reach this angular speed after it is turned on. Find its angular acceleration (in rad/s2), assuming it to be constant, and the number of degrees it turns through while speeding up.

The slotted link is pinned at o, and as a result of rotation it drives the peg p along the horizontal guide. compute the magnitude of the velocity and acceleration of p along the horizontal guide. compute the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of p as a function of θ if θ=(3t) rad, where t is measured in seconds.

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

The focal length of a relaxed human eye is approximately 1.7 cm. when we focus our eyes on a close up object, we can change the refractive power of the eye by about 16 diopters. (a) does the refractive power of our eyes increase or decrease by 16 diopters when we focus closely? explain. (b) calculate the focal length of the eye when we focus closely.
