A small ball is attached to one end of a rigid rod with negligible mass. The ball and the rod revolve in a horizontal circle wit

h the other end of the rod at the center. The path of the ball has a constant linear speed. The force exerted by the rod is 0.5 N. The centripetal acceleration is 0.5 m/s2 . What is the mass of the ball, in kg?

Answer:

mass of the ball will be 1 kg

Explanation:

We have given force F = 0.5 N

This force must be equal to the centripetal force for the ball to revolve in the circle

So F=F_C=0.5N

Centripetal acceleration is given as a_c=0.5m/sec^2

We have to calculate the mass of the ball

We know that force is given by

F_C=ma_c

So 0.5=m\times 0.5

m = 1 kg

So mass of the ball will be 1 kg

Velocity is define as how fast an object is moving, and in what direction, it is a vector quantity, meaning velocity has both magnitude and direction. Anything goes to the left is negative, and anything goes to the right is positive.

a. Direction from east to west, given distance 11.5 meters, and time of 7.10 s

V = displacement/time  V = -11.5/7.10 S  V = -1.62 m/s  (going left)

b. Joaquin reaches his original position. Displacement is now zero.

    Velocity of the lawnmower is equal to "zero" but if we calculate for the average speed of the lawn, you just have to add the distance covered and the time it take to go back at the original position or point of origin

A high diver of mass 51.7 kg steps off a board 10.0 m above the water and falls vertical to the water, starting from rest. If he
zmey [24]

Answer:

851.33 N

Explanation:

Using newton;s equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gh ......... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height

Given: u = 0 m/s(from rest), h = 10 m g = 9.8 m/s².

Substitute into equation 1

v² = 0² + 2(9.8)(10)

v² = 196

v = √196

v = 14 m/s.

Note: As the Diver touches the water,  u = 14 m/s and v = 0 m/s( stopped)

Using,

d = (v+u)t/2 .............. equation 2

Where d = distance moved by the diver in water before its motion stopped, t = time taken before it comes to rest

Given: v = 0 m/s, u = 14 m/s t = 2.10 s

Substitute into equation 2

d = (0+14)2.1/2

d = 14.7 m.

Finally

work done by the water to stop the diver = potential energy of the diver

F×d = mgh'................Equation 3

Where F = force of the diver in water, d = distance of the diver in the water, m = mass of the diver, g = acceleration due to gravity, h' = height of the diver from the point of fall to the point where he comes to rest

making F the subject of the equation,

F = mgh/d ............ Equation 4

Given: m = 51.7 kg, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s², d = 14.7 m.

Substitute into equation 4

F = 51.7(10+14.7)(9.8)/14.7

F = 851.33 N

Hence the upward force the water exert on her = 851.33 N

Which statement is false?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Once you reach adulthood, you will not experience peer pressure.

Explanation:

We tend to believe that self-control comes from within, but many of our attitudes depend as much on friends and family as on ourselves. That's because at any stage of our life (even the adult stage) our friends and our family have the power to influence us, sometimes that influence is good and sometimes bad, it's up to us to reason about them.

The people around us have the power to make us fat, consume more alcohol, worry less about the environment and expose ourselves to the sun without proper protection, among many other things.

It is not simply about peer pressure, where you deliberately act in a certain way to suit the group. It is, in fact, largely an unconscious attitude. Without your awareness, your brain is constantly picking up cues from people around you to dictate your behavior. And the consequences can be serious.
