Answer:
B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.
Explanation:
As we know that the small gear completes 24 revolutions in 20 seconds
so the angular speed of the smaller gear is given as
[tex]\omega = 2\pi\frac{24}{20}[/tex]
[tex]\omega = 2.4\pi rad/s[/tex]
Now we know that the tangential speed of the chain is given as
[tex]v = r \omega[/tex]
so we have
[tex]v = (3 cm)(2.4\pi)[/tex]
[tex]v = 7.2 \pi cm/s[/tex]
[tex]v = 432\pi cm/min[/tex]
Since both gears are connected by same chain so both have same linear speed and hence correct answer will be
B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.
The correct option is:
(B) The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute
Calculating the linear velocity:
Since both the gears are connected with a chain, the linear velocity of each gear will be the same since the chain will move the same distance on both the gears otherwise the gears will rotate independently of each other.
Given that the smaller gear makes 24 revolutions in 20 sec.
So in 1 second, it makes 24/20 = 1.2 rev
So the angular speed is:
ω = 1.2 rev /s
converting it to radians we get:
ω = 1.2×2π rad/s
ω = 2.4π rad/s
ω =2.4π×60 rad/min
ω = 144π rad/min
The linear velocity is given by:
v = ω × r
where r is the radius of the gear
v = 144π rad/min × 3 cm
v = 432π cm/min
