You are spinning a rock, of mass 0.75 kg, at the end of a string of length 0.86m in a vertical circle in uniform circular motion
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

v (minimum speed) = 2.90 m/sec.

\\ \\ maximum speed (v)= 6.57 m/sec.\\

Maximum value of speed will occur at lowest point of vertical circle.

Explanation:

a)  What minimum speed is necessary so that there is no tension in the string at the top of the circle but the rock stays in the same circular path?

Using the force balance expression at the top of the circle,

Gravitational Force + Tension force = Centrifugal force

m*g + T = m*v^2/R

Given that : T = 0

R = length of string = 0.86 m

mass of the spinning rock = 0.75 kg

v = \sqrt{g*R}

v = \sqrt{9.81*0.86}

v (minimum speed) = 2.90 m/sec.

b) what is the maximum speed the rock can have so that the string does not break?

Here the  force balance at bottom of circle is represented by the illustration:

T = m*g + m*v^2/R

Given that:

maximum tension T = 45 N

maximum speed v = ??

mass  m = 0.75 kg

∴

45 - 0.75*9.81 = 0.75*\frac{v^2}{0.86} \\\\v^2 = 0.86*(45 - 0.75*9.81)/0.75 \\ v = \sqrt{0.86*(45 - 0.75*9.81)/0.75\\ maximum speed (v)= 6.57 m/sec.\\

c)

At what point in the vertical circle does this maximum value occur?

Maximum value of speed will occur at lowest point of vertical circle.

This is so because  at the lowest point; the tension in string will be maximum.

A box is placed on a 30o frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline
balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>2.78m/s²</em>

Explanation:

Complete question:

<em>A box is placed on a 30° frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline when the co-efficient of friction is 0.25?</em>

According to Newton's second law of motion:

\sum F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin\theta - \mu mg cos\theta = ma_x\\gsin\theta - \mu g cos\theta = a_x\\

Where:

\mu is the coefficient of friction

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Fm is the moving force acting on the body

Ff is the frictional force

m is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration'

Given

\theta = 30^0\\\mu = 0.25\\g = 9.8m/s^2

Required

acceleration of the box

Substitute the given parameters into the resulting expression above:

Recall that:

gsin\theta - \mu g cos\theta = a_x\\

9.8sin30 - 0.25(9.8)cos30 = ax

9.8(0.5) - 0.25(9.8)(0.866) = ax

4.9 - 2.1217 = ax

ax = 2.78m/s²

<em>Hence the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline is 2.78m/s²</em>

6. Why does sound travel faster through a steel bar than through a swimming pool filled with water?
Lady_Fox [76]
I understand that sound travels faster in water then in air. Water is a liquid, and air is gas.

Water still has the ability to roll the molecules over each other (so water can flow), it has some flexibility.

But I do not understand how a solid that is inflexible can make sound waves travel faster then in a flexible liquid.

In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.

Sound waves travel over four times faster in water than it would in air.
