Let us say that v is the tangential velocity of the object, a to be the centripetal (which acts towards the center of the circle) acceleration and F as the centripetal force, r to be the radius of the circle and m is mass of the child. <span>

a = v^2 / r 

F = ma = mv^2/r 

Applying the given values to the equation: 

F=30*(5^2/5) => 30*(25/5) => 30*5 => 150 Newtons</span>

Now work is Force times distance, the distance is simply the circumference of the circle.

d = C = 2 * pi * r = 2 * pi * 5 = 10π m

 

W = F * d = 150 N * 10π m

<span>W = 1500π J = 4712.39 J</span>

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?
alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

Bingel [31]
The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed. 

Equating momentum before and after collision: 
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u 
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.
