Let the vector position of the object in the (x-y) plane be
$\vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j}$

The applied force is
$\vec{f} = -12.5 \hat{i}
$

By definition, the applied torque is
$\vec{T} = \vec{r} \times \vec{f} = (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \times (-12.5y \hat{i}) = 12.5\hat{k}$

Answer: $12.5y \, \hat{k}$

Calculate the period (T) of uniform circular motion if the velocity is 40.0 m/s and centripetal acceleration is 20.0 m/s2.

kirill [66]

T is the time for a whole round.

centripetal acceleration = V^2/R,

20 = 40^2 / R, find R = 40^2/20 = 40*40/20 = 80 m, right?

Now, one round is L = 2*pi*R = 2*pi*80 = 160*pi

And T = L/v (distance/speed) = 160*pi/40 = 4*pi seconds, or ~ 12.57 s

An alternating current is supplied to an electronic component with a rating that the voltage across it can never, even for an in

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

A) $V_{rms}=8\sqrt{2} V$

Explanation:

Maximum voltage = $V_{max}=16 V$

Maximum voltage and rms voltage are related to each other by

$V_{max}=V_{rms} \times \sqrt{2} \\V_{rms}=\frac{V_{max}}{ \sqrt{2}}\\V_{rms}=\frac{16}{\sqrt{2}} \\V_{rms}=8\sqrt{2} V$

True false according to current atomic theory electrons are in fixed locations

Amanda [17]

That's <em>false.</em> According to current atomic theory and quantum mechanics, an electron is always PROBABLY SOMEWHERE in a fuzzy foggy area around the nucleus of the atom, and that's all we can <u>ever</u> say about it. There's no way to even TELL where the electron is, even if we <u>had</u> the technology to see things that small.

N experiment is performed in deep space with two uniform spheres, one with mass 27.0 and the other with mass 107.0 . They have e

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Apply the law of conservation of energy

$KE_i+PE_i=KE_f+PE_f$

$Gm_1m_2[\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]=\frac{1}{2} (m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2)$

from the law of conservation of the linear momentum

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

Therefore,

$Gm_1m_2[\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]=\frac{1}{2} (m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2)$

$=\frac{1}{2} [m_1v_1^2+m_2[\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2} ]^2]\\\\=\frac{1}{2} [m_1v_1^2+\frac{m_1^2v_1^2}{m_2} ]\\\\=\frac{m_1v_1^2}{2} [\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_2} ]$

$v_1^2=[\frac{2Gm_2^2}{m_1+m_2} ][\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]$

Substitute the values in the above result

$v_1^2=[\frac{2Gm_2^2}{m_1+m_2} ][\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]$

$=[\frac{2(6.67\times 10^-^1^1)(107)^2}{27+107} ][\frac{1}{26} -\frac{1}{41}] \\\\=1.6038\times 10^-^1^0\\\\v_1=\sqrt{1.6038\times 106-^1^0} \\\\=1.2664 \times 10^-^5m/s$

B) the speed of the sphere with mass 107.0 kg is

$v_2=\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$=[\frac{27}{107} ](1.2664 \times 10^-^5)\\\\=3.195\times 10^-^6m/s$

C) the magnitude of the relative velocity with which one sphere is

$v_r=v_1+v_2\\\\=1.2664\times 10^-^5+3.195\times10^-^6\\\\=15.859\times10^-^6m/s$

D) the distance of the centre is proportional to the acceleration

$\frac{x_1}{x_2} =\frac{a_1}{a_2} \\\\=\frac{m_2}{m_1} \\\\=3.962$

Thus,

$x_1=3.962x_2$

and

$x_2=0.252x_1$

When the sphere make contact with eachother

Therefore,

$x_1+x_2+2r=41\\x_1+0,252x_1+2r=41\\1.252x_1+2r=41\\x_1=32.747-1.597r$

And

$x_1+x_2+2r=41\\3.962x_2+x_2+2r+41\\4.962x_2+2r=41\\x_2=8.262-0.403r$

The point of contact of the sphere is

$32.747-1.597r=8.262-0.403r\\\\r=\frac{24.485}{1.194} \\\\=20.506m$
