Answer:

The equation for centripetal force is:

T = (mv^2)/r

T = centripetal force

m = mass

v = speed

r = radius

T = [20kg * (20 m/s * 20m/s)] / 20 m

T = [20kg * 400 m/s^2] / 20 m

T = 8,000 kg m/s^2 / 20 m

T = 400 N

Centripetal force = (mass) x (speed)² / (radius)

   = (20 kg) x (20 m/s)² / (20 m)

   = (20 x 20 / 20) (kg-meter/sec²)

   = 20 newtons

You throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.

Andru [333]

Answer:

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the ball are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the ball at time t.

Placing the origin at the throwing point, y0 = 0.

Let´s use the equation of velocity to obtain the time at which the velocity is 12.0 m/s / 2 = 6.00 m/s.

v = v0 + g · t

6.00 m/s = 12.0 m/s -9.81 m/s² · t

(6.00 - 12.0)m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 0.612 s

Now, let´s calculate the height of the baseball at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (y0 = 0)

y = 12.0 m/s · 0.612 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (0.612 s)²

y = 5.51 m

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Have a nice day!

Allen and Jason are chucking a speaker around. On one particular throw, Allen throws the speaker, which is playing a pure tone o

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Doppler's effect of sound .

speaker is the source , Jason is the observer . Source is moving at 10 m /s , observer is moving at 6 m/s .

apparent frequency = $f_o\times\frac{V+v_o}{ V-v_s}$

V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer and v_s is velocity of source and f_o is real frequency of source .

Here V = 340 m/s , v₀ is 6 m/s , v_s is 10 m/s . f_o = f

apparent frequency = $f\times \frac{340+6}{340-10}$

= $f\times \frac{346}{330}$

So m = 346 , n = 330 .

Explanation:

if the elevator is moving upward with the constant speed the spring scale will read 18 N which is the mass of each of the two blocks attached by separate springs to the scale at opposite ends.
