A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m

agnitude of the tension in the string is F. The boy then speeds up the stone, keeping the radius of the circle unchanged, so that the string makes two complete revolutions every second. What happens to the tension in the sting?
(A) The magnitude of the tension increases to four times its original value, 4F.
(B) The magnitude of the tension reduces to half of its original value, F/2.
(C) The magnitude of the tension is unchanged.
(D) The magnitude of the tension reduces to one-fourth of its original value, F/4.
(E) The magnitude of the tension increases to twice its original value, 2F.

Answer:

(A) The magnitude of the tension increases to four times its original value, 4F.

Explanation:

When an object moves in circular motion,  a centripetal force acts on it . In this scenario the centripetal force acting on the stone is given by \frac { m{ v }^{ 2 } }{ r }.

                   Where m is the mass of object

                               v- velocity or speed of the object

                               r - radius of the circle

Important to note is that the tension is equal to the  centripetal force.

Given that initially the string makes one complete revolution per second and then speeds up to make two complete revolutions in a second .It implies that the speed has doubled .

Using our equation :F =\frac { m{ v }^{ 2 } }{ r }

                               where F is the tension in the string

let the initial speed be =v  then after it doubles it becomes 2v

Keeping the radius of the circle unchanged we have :

F=\frac { m{ (2v) }^{ 2 } }{ r } =\frac { 4m{ v }^{ 2 } }{ r }

From the equation it can be seen that the initial Tension has  increased by a factor of 4 .

Therefore the magnitude of the tension increases to four times its original value, 4F.

Q12. How big is a Moon? How big is a Mars? What is therefore the weight of the person from Q11 on the Moon? What is the person's
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The moon is 1,079.4 mi.

Mars is 2,106.1 mi

Multiply your weight by the moon's gravity relative to earth's, which is 0.165. Solve the equation. In the example, you would obtain the product 22.28 lbs. So a person weighing 135 pounds on Earth would weigh just over 22 pounds on the moon

Being that Mars has a gravitational force of 3.711m/s2, we multiply the object's mass by this quanitity to calculate an object's weight on mars. So an object or person on Mars would weigh 37.83% its weight on earth.

When AC Electric is producing 120 volts with 20 amps, What controls the the 120 volts at 60cycles a second?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Cycles per second is dependent on the construction of the alternator and the 120 volts is dependent upon the current and resistance in the circuit according to the ohms law.

Explanation:

We are given with AC of 120 volts, 20 amperes and 60 hertz frequency.

<u>According to the Ohm's law, we find its resistance:</u>

R=\frac{V}{I}

R=\frac{120}{20}

R=6\ \Omega

So, this 6 ohm resistance controls the current controls the magnitude of the AC current, while the frequency of the current remains constant and depends upon the construction and rotational speed of the armature of the alternator producing the current.

Here the value of frequency is the number of times the current changes its direction or the polarity in one second.

A car is moving at a initial velocity of 20 meters per second accelerates at a rate of 1.5 meters per second squared for 4 secon
Brrunno [24]
Answered using calculus.
Antidifferentiated the acceleration to get velocity. Added variable c as we do not know if there was an extra number there yet.
Knowing that when time is 0, the velocity is 20, we can substitute those numbers into the equation and find that c = 20.
Now we have full velocity equation: v = 1.5t + 20
Now we substitute 4 into t to find out the velocity after 4 seconds. This gives us the final answer of 26m/s

If a 12 kg cat is sitting 5 m up in a tree, how much PE does it have?
Helen [10]

Answer:

588 J

Explanation:

PE (potential energy) = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

mass = 12 kg

gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height = 5 m

PE = (12) x (9.8) x (5) = 588 J (Joules)
