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

A 1900kg airplane is flying at an altitude of 510 above the ground. What is the gravitational potential energy in Joules?
Natalija [7]

Answer: 9496200 joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, GPE is the energy possessed by the moving plane since it moves against gravity.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

Since Mass = 1900kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

h = 510 metres (units of height is metres)

Thus, GPE = 1900kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 510m

GPE = 9496200 joules

Thus, the gravitational potential energy of the airplane is 9496200 joules

what is the total distance traveled by a bike rider who rides for three hours at 40 km/hr and then two more hours at 50 km/hr?
marta [7]

Answer:

220 km

Explanation:

3 hours at 40 km/hr

40 km = 1 hour

40 km times 3 = 120 km

2 hours at 50 km/hr

50 km = 1 hour

50 times 2 = 100 km

Total distance

120 km + 100 km = 220 km

A series LRC circuit consists of a 12.0-mH inductor, a 15.0-µF capacitor, a resistor, and a 110-V (rms) ac voltage source. If th
finlep [7]

Answer:

61.85 ohm

Explanation:

L = 12 m H = 12 x 10^-3 H, C = 15 x 10^-6 F, Vrms = 110 V, R = 45 ohm

Let ω0 be the resonant frequency.

\omega _{0}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}

\omega _{0}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{12\times 10^{-3}\times 15\times 10^{-6}}}

ω0 = 2357 rad/s

ω = 2 x 2357 = 4714 rad/s

XL = ω L = 4714 x 12 x 10^-3 = 56.57 ohm

Xc = 1 / ω C = 1 / (4714 x 15 x 10^-6) = 14.14 ohm

Impedance, Z = \sqrt{R^{2}+\left ( XL - Xc \right )^{2}}

Z = \sqrt{45^{2}+\left ( 56.57-14.14 )^{2}} = 61.85 ohm

Thus, the impedance at double the resonant frequency is 61.85 ohm.

Introduction: The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of that substan
ki77a [65]

Answer:

A) 8,368 J

B) ) 0.893 J/gºC

Explanation:

A)

  • The heat gained by the water can be obtained solving the following equation:

       q_{g} = c_{w} * m *  \Delta T (1)

  • where cw = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/gºC
  • m= mass of water = 1,000 g
  • ΔT = 2ºC
  • Replacing these values in (1) we get:

       q_{g} = c_{w} * m *  \Delta T = 4.184 J/gºC*1,000 g* 2ºC = 8,368 J (2)

B)

  • Assuming that the heat energy gained by the water is equal to the one lost by the aluminum, we can use the same equation, taking into account that the energy is lost by the aluminum, so the sign is negative:  -8,368 J.
  • Replacing by the mass of aluminum (125 g), and the change in temperature (-74.95ºC), in (1), we can solve for the specific heat of aluminum, as follows:

       q_{l} = c_{Al} * m_{Al} *  \Delta T  (3)

⇒    -8,368 J = c_{Al}* 125 g * (-74.95ºC) (4)

       c_{Al} = \frac{-8,368J}{125g*(-74.95ºC} = 0.893 J/gºC (5)

  • which is pretty close to the Aluminum's accepted specific heat value of 0.900 J/gºC.

A crane does 62,500 joules of work to lift a boulder a distance of 25.0 meters. How much did the boulder weight
alukav5142 [94]
Work = (force) x (distance)

62,500 joules = (boulder's weight) x (25 meters)

Divide each side by (25 meters) :

Boulder's weight = (62,500 joules) / (25 meters) = <u>2,500 newtons</u>

That's about 562 pounds.
