Two spheres A and B of negligible dimensions and masses 1 kg and √3 kg respectively, are supported on the smooth circular surfac

e, fixed to the ground with a centre O and radius of 0.1m. The spheres are joined by the cord shown in length π/20 m; determine the angles α and β corresponding to the position of equilibrium of the spheres with respect to the vertical passing through O.

Answer:

α = π/3

β = π/6

Explanation:

Use arc length equation to find the sum of the angles.

s = rθ

π/20 m = (0.1 m) (α + β)

π/2 = α + β

Draw a free body diagram for each sphere.  Both spheres have three forces acting on them:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the surface,

and tension force T pulling tangential to the surface.

Sum of forces on A in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

T − m₁g sin α = 0

T = m₁g sin α

Sum of forces on B in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

T − m₂g sin β = 0

T = m₂g sin β

Substituting:

m₁g sin α = m₂g sin β

m₁ sin α = m₂ sin β

(1 kg) sin α = (√3 kg) sin (π/2 − α)

1 sin α = √3 cos α

tan α = √3

α = π/3

β = π/6

Light incident on a lake surface is partly reflected and partly refracted.What is the differences between the reflected ray and
iren2701 [21]

Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

A car driver traveling at a speed of 108km per hour ,sees a traffic light and stopped after travelling for 20seconds .Find the a
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

– 2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

We have,

• Initial velocity, u = 180 km/h = 50 m/s

• Final velocity, v = 0 m/s (it stops)

• Time taken, t = 20 seconds

We have to find acceleration, a.

\longrightarrow a = (v ― u)/t

\longrightarrow a = (0 – 50)/20 m/s²

\longrightarrow a = –50/20 m/s²

\longrightarrow a = – 5/2 m/s²

\longrightarrow a = – 2.5 m/s² (Velocity is decreasing) [Answer]

A 5,257 kg rocket blasts off to the moon with an acceleration of 76 m/s ^2 what is the net force on the rocket
frutty [35]

Newton's subsequent law expresses that power is corresponding to what exactly is needed for an object of consistent mass to change its speed. This is equivalent to that item's mass increased by its speed increase.

We use Newtons, kilograms, and meters each second squared as our default units, albeit any proper units for mass (grams, ounces, and so forth) or speed (miles each hour out of every second, millimeters per second², and so on) could unquestionably be utilized also - the estimation is the equivalent notwithstanding.

Hence, the appropriate answer will be 399,532.

Net Force = 399532

If a builder of mass 75kg climbs a vertical ladder of 25m how much energy has she gained ?
erica [24]
So,

GPE (graviational potential energy) = mass x g x height

GPE is depends on where zero height is defined.  In this situation, we define h = 0 as the initial height.

GPE = 75 \ kg*9.8 \ \frac{m}{s^2}*25 \ m

GPE = 18,375 \frac{kg*m^2}{s^2}

GPE = 18,375 \ joules(J) \ or \ 18.375 \ kilojoules(kJ)

The builder has gained 18.375 kJ of PE.
