<span>According to accepted atomic models, the reason that metals are good conductors is because they have free electrons in their outer shell that are free to roam, therefore allowing for higher levels of conductivity than nonmetallic materials.</span>

A child whirls a 3.00 kg ball on a string .50 m from the axis of rotation in a horizontal circle. The ball makes 1 revolution in

melamori03 [73]

Answers:

a) $0.5 m/s^{2}$

b) $1.5 N$

Explanation:

a) The centripetal acceleration $a_{c}$ of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:

$a_{c}=\omega^{2} r$

Where:

$\omega=1 \frac{rev}{s}$ is the angular velocity of the ball

$r=0.5 m$ is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string

Then:

$a_{c}=(1 \frac{rev}{s})^{2} 0.5 m$

$a_{c}=0.5 m/s^{2}$ This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball

b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force $F$ ) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension ( $T$ ) in the string:

$F=T=m. a_{c}$

Where $m=3 kg$ is the mass of the ball

Hence:

$T=(3 kg)(0.5 m/s^{2})$

$T=1.5 N$ This is the tension in the string

Problem 6: A bullet in a gun is accelerated from rest from the firing chamber to the end of the barrel at an average rate of 6.3

solong [7]

Answer:

v = 5.166 10² m / s

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the kinematics equations

v = v₀ + at

as the bullet starts from rest its initial velocity is zero

v = a t

let's calculate

v = 6.3 10⁵ 8.2 10⁻⁴

v = 5.166 10² m / s

The driver of a car going 86.0 km/h suddenly sees the lights of a barrier 44.0 m ahead. It takes the driver 0.75 s to apply the

Lynna [10]

Part a

Answer: NO

We need to calculate the distance traveled once the brakes are applied. Then we would compare the distance traveled and distance of the barrier.

Using the second equation of motion:

$s=ut+0.5at^2$

where s is the distance traveled, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

It is given that, u=86.0 km/h=23.9 m/s, t=0.75 s, $a=-10.0 m/s^2$

$\Rightarrow s=23.9 m/s \times 0.75s+0.5\times (-10.0 m/s^2)\times (0.75 s)^2=15.11 m$

Since there is sufficient distance between position where car would stop and the barrier, the car would not hit it.

Part b

Answer: 29.6 m/s

The maximum distance that car can travel is $s=44.0 m$

The acceleration is same, $a=-10.0 m/s^2$

The final velocity, v=0

Using the third equation of motion, we can find the maximum initial velocity for car to not hit the barrier:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$0-u^2=-2 \time 10.0m/s^2 \times 44.0 m\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{880 m^2/s^2}=29.6 m/s$

Hence, the maximum speed at which car can travel and not hit the barrier is 29.6 m/s.
