Answer:
619.8 N
Explanation:
The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the rock in circular motion, so we can write:
where
T is the tension
m is the mass of the rock
v is the speed
r is the radius of the circular path
At the beginning,
T = 50.4 N
v = 21.1 m/s
r = 2.51 m
So we can use the equation to find the mass of the rock:
Later, the radius of the string is decreased to
r' = 1.22 m
While the speed is increased to
v' = 51.6 m/s
Substituting these new data into the equation, we find the tension at which the string breaks:
Answer:
73.72
Explanation:
For this subtraction problem, the answer or solution is expressed to the least precise of the numbers we are trying to subtract.
The least precise number is the number with the lowest significant numbers:
105.4 - 31.681
105.4 has 4 significant numbers
31.681 has 5 significant numbers
So;
105.4
- 31.681
------------------
73.719
----------------
The solution is therefore 73.72
<span>22.5 newtons.
First, let's determine how much energy the stone had at the moment of impact. Kinetic energy is expressed as:
E = 0.5mv^2
where
E = Energy
m = mass
v = velocity
Substituting known values and solving gives:
E = 0.5 3.06 kg (7 m/s)^2
E = 1.53 kg 49 m^2/s^2
E = 74.97 kg*m^2/s^2
Now ignoring air resistance, how much energy should the rock have had?
We have a 3.06 kg moving over a distance of 10.0 m under a force of 9.8 m/s^2. So
3.06 kg * 10.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 299.88 kg*m^2/s^2
So without air friction, we would have had 299.88 Joules of energy, but due to air friction we only have 74.97 Joules. The loss of energy is
299.88 J - 74.97 J = 224.91 J
So we can claim that 224.91 Joules of work was performed over a distance of 10 meters. So let's do the division.
224.91 J / 10 m
= 224.91 kg*m^2/s^2 / 10 m
= 22.491 kg*m/s^2
= 22.491 N
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives an average force of 22.5 newtons.</span>
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another.
