T=2pi square root 1/g solve for g.<br> Explanation would be really helpful.

Natalija [7]

I added individual steps for clarity. Note that g must be positive if the solution is to be real.

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}=2\pi g^{-\frac{1}{2}}\\g^{-\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{T}{2\pi}\\(g^{-\frac{1}{2}})^{-2} = (\frac{T}{2\pi})^{-2}\\g = \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\,\,\,, g>0}$

Let me know if you have any questions.

What is the car's speed at the bottom of the dip?The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier thantheir true weight a

Rashid [163]

Answer:

v = 14 m/s

Explanation:

given,

radius of dip = 40 m

The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier than their true weight.

Apparent weight

$A = W + \dfrac{W}{2}$

$A =\dfrac{3W}{2}$

$A =\dfrac{3mg}{2}$

When the car is at the bottom, the weight will be acting downwards and the centripetal force will also be acting downward where as Normal force which is apparent weight will be acting in upward direction.

now,

$N = m g + \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$\dfrac{3mg}{2} = m g + \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$\dfrac{mg}{2} = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{rg}{2}}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{40\times 9.8}{2}}$

v = 14 m/s

A binary star system consists of two equal mass stars that revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass. The period of

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$

Explanation:

Given data:

PERIOD OF MOTION IS T = 25.5 days

orbital speeds = 220 km/s

we know that

acceleration due to centripetal force is $a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{V^2}{r}$

Gravitational force $F= \frac{Gm m}{d^2}$

we know that

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}$

solving for

$R = \frac{vT}{2\pi}$

$F = \frac{Gm^2}{4(\frac{vT}{2\pi})^2}$

$F = G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2}$

$a = \frac{v^2}{\frac{vT}{2\pi}}$

$a = \frac{2\pi v}{T}$

we know that

f =ma

$G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2} = a = \frac{2\pi m v}{T}$

solving for m

$m = \frac{2Tv^3}{\pi G}$

$m = \frac{2\times 25.5 \times 86400 \times 220000^3\ m/s}{\pi \times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

$\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2$

The formula for the induced emf is

$E = \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\phi = \texttt {magnetic flux}$

$E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta t}$

$=B\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}$

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

$\texttt {substitute}\ \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta A$

$E=B\frac{(\Delta \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega$

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

$\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5$

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

$E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V$
