You have a ball with a mass 1.3 kg tied to a rope, and you spin it in a circle of radius 1.8m. If the ball is moving at a speed

of 3 m/s, what is the centripetal force action on the ball?

Answer:

6.5\; {\rm N}.

Explanation:

When an object travel at a speed of v in a circle of radius r, the (centripetal) acceleration of that object would be a = (v^{2} / r).

In this question, the ball is travelling at v = 3\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} in a circle of radius r = 1.8\; {\rm m}. The (centripetal) acceleration of this ball would be:

\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{v^{2}}{r} \\ &= \frac{(3\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2}}{1.8\; {\rm m}} \\ &= 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}\end{aligned}.

By Newton's Laws of Motion, for an object of mass m, if the acceleration of that object is a, the net force on that object would be m\, a. Since the acceleration of this ball is a = 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}, the net force on this ball would be:

\begin{aligned} F &= m\, a \\ &= 1.3\; {\rm kg} \times 5\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} \\ &= 6.5\; {\rm N} \end{aligned}.

Solution A has a specific heat of 2.0 J/g◦C. Solution B has a specific heat of 3.8 J/g◦C. If equal masses of both solutions start
fgiga [73]

Answer: 2. Solution A attains a higher temperature.

Explanation: Specific heat simply means, that amount of heat which is when supplied to a unit mass of a substance will raise its temperature by 1°C.

In the given situation we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, out of which A has lower specific heat which means that a unit mass of solution A requires lesser energy to raise its temperature by 1°C than the solution B.

Since, the masses of both the solutions are same and equal heat is supplied to both, the proportional condition will follow.

<em>We have a formula for such condition,</em>

Q=m.c.\Delta T.....................................(1)

where:

  • \Delta T= temperature difference
  • Q= heat energy
  • m= mass of the body
  • c= specific heat of the body

<u>Proving mathematically:</u>

<em>According to the given conditions</em>

  • we have equal masses of two solutions A & B, i.e. m_A=m_B
  • equal heat is supplied to both the solutions, i.e. Q_A=Q_B
  • specific heat of solution A, c_{A}=2.0 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • specific heat of solution B, c_{B}=3.8 J.g^{-1} .\degree C^{-1}
  • \Delta T_A & \Delta T_B are the change in temperatures of the respective solutions.

Now, putting the above values

Q_A=Q_B

m_A.c_A. \Delta T_A=m_B.c_B . \Delta T_B\\\\2.0\times \Delta T_A=3.8 \times \Delta T_B\\\\ \Delta T_A=\frac{3.8}{2.0}\times \Delta T_B\\\\\\\frac{\Delta T_{A}}{\Delta T_{B}} = \frac{3.8}{2.0}>1

Which proves that solution A attains a higher temperature than solution B.

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

r=0.41m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

\tau=r\times F

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

\tau=rFsin\theta

Where \theta is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when sin\theta is equal to one, solving for r:

r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m
