A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.7 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid

e and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 5.5 s. What is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding?

Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

we are given:

radius (r) =5.7 m

speed (s) = 1 revolution in 5.5 seconds

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

coefficient of friction (Uk) = ?

 we can get the minimum coefficient of friction from the equation below

centrifugal force = frictional force

m x r x ω^{2} = Uk x m x g

r x ω^{2} = Uk x g

Uk = \frac{ r x ω^{2} }{g}

where ω (angular velocity) = \frac{2π}{time}

= \frac{2π }{5.5} = 1.14

Uk = \frac{ 5.7 x 1.14^{2} }{9.8} = 0.76

Answer:

The speed will be "18km/s". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

According to the question, the values are:

Wavelength,

\lambda = 656.46 \ nm

\Delta \lambda = 0.04

c=3\times 10^8

As we know,

⇒  \frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} =\frac{v}{c}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  \frac{656.46}{0.04} =\frac{v}{3\times 10^8}

⇒         v=\frac{656.46}{0.04} (3\times 10^8)

⇒            =16411.5\times 3\times 10^8

⇒            =18280 \ m/s

or,

⇒            =18 \ km/s

A ball is suspended by a lightweight string, as shown in the figure above.
Irina18 [472]

<u>Answer </u>

A. 1 and 2

<u>Explanation </u>

At point 1 we have the highest potential energy and the kinetic energy is zero.

At 2 the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.

The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So, the change in P.E = Change in K.E.

P.E = height × gravity × mass. The height referred here is the perpendicular height. Gravity and mass are constant in this case.

From the diagram it can be seen clearly that the vertical height from 2 to 1 is much greater than from 4 to 3.

This shows that the change in P.E is greater between 1 and 2 and so is kinetic energy.

The forces that hold different atoms or ions together are
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Chemical bonds

Explanation:

The chemical bonds hold the different type atoms or ions together.

The type of chemical bonds :

1. Ionic bond  ;

 Ions or atoms changes the electron and form ionic bond.Those atoms gains the electron gets negative charge and those atoms donate the electron gets positive charge.

2.Covalent bond :

  In this type of bond atoms share the electrons and form covalent bonds.

3. Metallic bond :

This type of bond are present in the metals.In this atoms are used free electrons to form bonds.

Therefore answer is --

Chemical bonds

An object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. At what velocity will it hit the ground?

You can use Vf^2-Vi^2 = 2ax

Vf^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(25)

Or you can use energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2

2gh =v^2

A sound wave, generated at a frequency of 440 hertz has a wavelength of 2.3 meters as it travels through a solid material. The a
Jlenok [28]

The approximate speed of the sound wave traveling through the solid material is 1012m/s.

<h3>Wavelength, Frequency and Speed</h3>

Wavelength is simply the distance over which the shapes of waves are repeated. It is the spatial period of a periodic wave.

From the wavelength, frequency and speed relation,

λ = v ÷ f

Where λ is wavelength, v is velocity/speed and f is frequency.

Given the data in the question;

  • Frequency of sound wave f = 440Hz = 440s⁻¹
  • Wavelength of the wave λ = 2.3m
  • Speed of the wave v = ?

To determine the approximate speed of the wave, we substitute our given values into the expression above.

λ = v ÷ f

2.3m = v ÷ 440s⁻¹

v = 2.3m × 440s⁻¹

v = 1012ms⁻¹

v = 1012m/s

Therefore, the approximate speed of the sound wave traveling through the solid material is 1012m/s.
