A(n) 0.2 kg object is swung in a vertical circular path on a string 0.1 m long. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . If a c

onstant speed of 6.38 m/s is maintained, what is the tension in the string when the object is at the top of the circle.

Answer:

T=83.37N

Explanation:

Since the object is under a circular motion, according to Newton's second law, when the object is at the top of the circle we have:

\sum F_y: T-mg=F_c

Where F_c is the centripetal force and is given by:

F_c=ma_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}

Replacing and solving for T:

T=m\frac{v^2}{r}+mg\\T=0.2kg\frac{(6.38\frac{m}{s})^2}{0.1m}+0.2kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\T=83.37N

A wave has a wavelength of 0.5 m and a frequency of 5.0 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?
mylen [45]
The correct option is (A) 2.5 m/s

Explanation:
Since,

v = fλ ---- (1)

where v = speed of the wave
f = frequency of the wave = 5 Hz
λ = wavelength of the wave = 0.5 

Plug in the value in (1):
(1) => v = 5 * 0.5
v = 2.5 m/s

Suppose you throw a cube-shaped object and a spherical-shaped object of equal volume in the same volume of water. The ball sinks
sergeinik [125]
The objects have different densities
They objects may possess the same volume; however, due to a difference in density, they do not possess the same mass within that volume. This means that they experience a different gravitational force, which causes one to sink and the other to float.

A ball rolls down the street 9 meters in 3.5 seconds, what is it's average speed?
artcher [175]

How do we find the Average Speed ?

The Average Speed is the distance traveled for the object, divided by the elapsed time taken to travel that distance, so the formula is :

<em>S = D / T</em>

where S = Average Speed, D = Distance, and T =  Times

Here the object is the ball, the distance is 9 meters and the time elapsed for the ball to roll down the street is 3.5 seconds. Applying the formula we get :

S = 9 / 3.5 ≈ 2.6 metres per second

The ≈ symbols (which is the <em>wavy equal sign</em>) means we can't write the exact result, because there is an infinite quantity of numbers after the decimal point. So we need to give an approximation, since the result is 2.57142857142857...etc. we choosed to round up the result to 2.6.
