Centripetal force needed to move mass 'm' in a circle with radius 'r' at speed 'v' is

F = m · v² / r

F = (85 kg) ·(15 m/s)² / (20 m)

F = (85kg · 225m²) / (20 m·s²)

F = (85 · 225 / 20) (kg·m² / m·s²)

F = 956.25 kg·m/s²

F = 956.25 Newtons

Answer:

$u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1}$ is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

the apple should be tossed after $\Delta t=0.0173\ s$

Explanation:

Given:

velocity of arrow in projectile, $v=30\ m.s^{-1}$

angle of projectile from the horizontal, $\theta=20^{\circ}$

distance of the point of tossing up of an apple, $d=30\ m$

<u>Now the horizontal component of velocity:</u>

$v_x=v\ cos\ \theta$

$v_x=30\times cos\ 20^{\circ}$

$v_x=28.191\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>The vertical component of the velocity:</u>

$v_y=v.sin\ \theta$

$v_y=30\times sin\ 20^{\circ}$

$v_y=10.261\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Time taken by the projectile to travel the distance of 30 m:</u>

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}$

$t=\frac{30}{28.191}$

$t=1.0642\ s$

<u>Vertical position of the projectile at this time:</u>

$h=v_y.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^2$

$h=10.261\times 1.0642-\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8\times 1.0642^2$

$h=5.3701\ m$

<u>Now this height should be the maximum height of the tossed apple where its velocity becomes zero.</u>

$v'^2=u'^2-2g.h$

$0^2=u'^2-2\times 9.8\times 5.3701$

$u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1}$ is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

<u>Time taken to reach this height:</u>

$v'=u'-g.t'$

$0=10.259-9.8\times t'$

$t'=1.0469\ s$

<u>We observe that </u> $t>t'$ <u> hence the time after the launch of the projectile after which the apple should be tossed is:</u>

$\Delta t=t-t'$

$\Delta t=1.0642-1.0469$

$\Delta t=0.0173\ s$

What effect would the temperature have on the time kept by a pendulum clock if the pendulum rod increase in length with an incre

Allushta [10]

As we know the time period of pendulum is given by the equation

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

so here

L = length of the pendulum

Now on increasing the temperature due to thermal expansion the length of the pendulum will increase and due to this the time period of the pendulum will also increase

Now due to increase in time period of the pendulum the clock will become slow and it will give incorrect time due to this increase in temperature

The drift speed in a copper wire is 7.89 ✕ 10−5 m/s for a typical electron current. Calculate the magnitude of the electric fiel

monitta

Answer:

$E$ = 0.0175 N/C

Explanation:

$v$ = drift speed in a copper wire = 7.89 x 10⁻⁵ m/s

μ = mobility of mobile electrons in copper wire = 4.5 x 10⁻³ (m/s)/(N/C)

$E$ = magnitude of electric field in the wire

Drift speed is given as

$v$ = μ $E$

Inserting the values

7.89 x 10⁻⁵ = (4.5 x 10⁻³) $E$

$E$ = 0.0175 N/C
