What is the tangential velocity at the edge of a disk of radius 10cm when it spins with a frequency of 10Hz? Give your answer without a unit, in cm⋅s−1, and correct to two significant figures

630cm/s

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion, the tangential velocity is expressed mathematically as v = ὦr

ὦ is the angular velocity = 2πf

r is the radius of the disk

f is the frequency

Given the radius of disk = 10cm

frequency = 10Hz

v = 2πfr

v = 2π×10×10

v = 200π

v = 628.32 cm/s

The tangential velocity = 630cm/s ( to 2 significant figures)

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
