The number of protons and neutrons in an atom is that atom’s _____________ number.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements usually have different mass numbers , but they can be the same. For example, the mass number of argon atoms and calcium atoms can both be 40.

A mass hangs on the end of a massless rope. The pendulum is held horizontal and released from rest. When the mass reaches the bo

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$T = 37.5 N$

Explanation:

As the pendulum reached to the lowest position then we will have

$T - mg = \frac{mv^2}{L}$

$14.2 - m(9.81) = \frac{m(2.9^2)}{L}$

now when it will reach to the height of the peg then its speed is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

so we will have

$v_f^2 - 2.9^2 = 2(-9.81)(\frac{L}{5})$

$v_f^2 = 2.9^2 - 3.924L$

also we know that

$2.9^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(L)$

$L = 0.43 m$

$m = 0.48 kg$

now we have speed of the pendulum when it reach the same height is given as

$v_f^2 = 2.9^2 - (3.924(0.43)$

$v_f = 2.6 m/s$

Now the tension in the string is given as

$T = \frac{mv_f^2}{\frac{L}{5}}$

$T = \frac{0.48(2.6)^2}{\frac{0.43}{5}}$

$T = 37.5 N$

An athlete can twirl a baton so that it reaches an angular velocity of 12 rad/s from rest in 0.5 s. If the length of a uniform b

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The torque needed is 46.08 Nm

Explanation:

Given;

angular velocity, ω = 12 rad/s

time of motion, t = 0.5 s

length of the baton, r = 0.8 m

mass of the baton, 0.5 kg

The torque needed to reach the angular velocity is given by;

τ = F x r

where;

F is the centripetal force of the baton

r is the length of the baton = radius of the circular motion of the baton

$F_c =ma_c= \frac{mv^2}{r} = m\omega^2 r$

Torque is given by;

$\tau = F_c *r\\\\\tau = m \omega^2 r *r\\\\\tau = m \omega^2 r^2 \\\\\tau = (0.5)(12)^2(0.8)^2\\\\\tau = 46.08 \ N m$

Therefore, the torque needed is 46.08 Nm
