The "Giant Swing" at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper e
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the central shaft rotates , the seat along with passenger also rotates . Their rotation requires a centripetal force of mw²R where m is mass of the passenger and w is the angular velocity and R is radius of the circle in which the passenger rotates.

This force is provided by a component of   T , the tension in the rope from which the passenger hangs . If θ be the angle the rope makes with horizontal ,

T cos θ will provide the centripetal force . So

Tcosθ = mw²R

Tsinθ component will balance the weight .

Tsinθ = mg

Dividing the two equation

Tanθ = \frac{g}{\omega^2R}

Hence for a given w , θ depends upon g or weight .

An accelerator produces a beam of protons with a circular cross section that is 2.0 mm in diameter and has a current of 1.0 mA.
rewona [7]

Answer:

the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter D = 2.0 mm

current I = 1.0 mA

K.E of each proton is 20 MeV

the number density of the protons in the beam = ?

Now, we make use of the relation between current and drift velocity

I = MeAv ⇒ 1 / eAv

The kinetic energy of protons is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}m_{p}v²

v = √( 2K / m_{p} )

lets relate the cross-sectional area A of the beam to its diameter D;

A = \frac{1}{4}πD²

now, we substitute for v and A

n = I / \frac{1}{4}πeD² ×√( 2K / m_{p} )

n = 4I/π eD² × √(m_{p} / 2K )

so we plug in our values;

n = ((4×1.0 mA)/(π(1.602×10⁻¹⁹C)(2mm)²) × √(1.673×10⁻²⁷kg / 2×( 20 MeV)(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ J/ev )

n =  1.98695 × 10¹⁸ × 1.6157967  × 10⁻⁵

n = 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³  

Therefore, the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

Help me plzzz<br>And thank u​
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

$ 1.1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Cost per kWh = $ 0.1

Current (I) = 10 A

Voltage (V) = 220 V

Time (t) = 5 h

Cost of operation =?

Next, we shall determine the power the electric oven. This can be obtained as follow:

Current (I) = 10 A

Voltage = 220 V

Power (P) =?

P = IV

P = 10 × 220

P = 2200 W

Next, we shall convert 2200 W to KW. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 W = 1 KW

Therefore,

2200 W = 2200 W × 1 KW / 1000 W

2200 W = 2.2 KW

Thus, 2200 W is equivalent to 2.2 KW.

Next, we shall determine the energy consumed by the electric oven. This can be obtained as follow:

Power (P) = 2.2 KW

Time (t) = 5 h

Energy (E) =?

E = Pt

E = 2.2 × 5

E = 11 KWh

Finally, we shall determine the cost of operation. This can be obtained as follow:

1 KWh cost $ 0.1

Therefore,

11 KWh will cost = 11 × 0.1

11 KWh will cost = $ 1.1

Therefore, the cost of operating the electric oven is $ 1.1

The tire above has a recommended tire pressure of 35 PSI, however, its current pressure is only 26 PSI. Which of the following c
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

option B  

Explanation:

It is given that in the tire the recommended pressure is 35 PSI however the current pressure is only 26 PSI which means that pressure in the tire is less than the recommended so the chances of blowout of the tire gets eliminated hence option A is not correct.

Having pressure less in the tire can lead to the Unstable handling of the vehicle.

so correct answer is option B
