Ans) A) Centripetal force will be doubled.

See centripetal force F = mv^2/r

That means centripetal force is directly proportional to the mass of the particle

So, if we double the mass, centripetal force will be increased by twofolds.

So, option A) is correct.

Now, looking at the other options,

B) says centripetal force is unaltered which is incorrect as centripetal force has been altered and increased twofold.

Option C) and D) reduces centripetal force which are also not possible here.

So, only Option A) is correct

The characteristics of standing waves allows to find the result for the speed of the wave is:

The speed wave is: v = 10 m / s

The wave is a way of transmitting energy without mass displacement, , in the attachment we can see a diagram of the standing wave.

Each cycle corresponds to half a wavelength, they indicate that the frequency is 2.50 Hz and there are three cycles, so the wavelength is:

L = $n \frac{\lambda}{2}$

λ = 2L/n

λ = 2 6 /3

λ = 4 m

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency

v = λ f

v = 4 2.5

v = 10 m / s

In conclusion, using the characteristics of standing waves we can find the result for the speed of the wave is:

The wave speed is: v = 10 m / s

Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer

tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m

how much water is needed to produce 1kwh of electricity at a power plant that is 30% efficient if the temperature increase 10 C

Dimas [21]

The amount of water needed is 287 kg

Explanation:

The amount of energy that we need to produce with the power plant is

$E=1 kWh = (1000W)(1h)=(1000W)(3600s)=3.6\cdot 10^6 J$

We also know that the power plant is only 30% efficient, so the energy produced in input must be:

$E_{in}=\frac{E}{0.30}=\frac{3.6\cdot 10^6}{0.3}=1.2\cdot 10^7 J$

The amount of water that is needed to produce this energy can be found using the equation

$E_{in}=mC\Delta T$

where:

m is the amount of water

$C=4186 J/kg^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water

$\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

And solving for m, we find:

$m=\frac{E_{in}}{C\Delta T}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^7}{(4186)(10)}=287 kg$
