A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second, and the t

ension in the string is directed horizontally. The boy then speeds up the stone, keeping the radius of the circle constant, so that the string makes two complete revolutions every second. What happens to the tension in the sting?The tension reduces to one-fourth of its original value.The tension is unchanged.The tension reduces to half of its original value.The tension increases to four times its original value.The tension increases to twice its original value.

Answer:

The tension increases to four times its original value.

Explanation:

v = Velocity

r = Radius

m = Mass of stone

The centripetal force is

F_c=m\dfrac{v^2}{r}

The tension will balance the centripetal force

T=m\dfrac{v^2}{r}

\\\Rightarrow T\propto v^2

\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{T_1}{T_2}=\dfrac{v_1}{2^2v_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{T_1}{T_2}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow T_2=4T_1

The new tension will be 4 times the old tension

Brut [27]

Answer: 529.9 Hz

Explanation:

Here we need to use the Doppler equation, so we have:

f' = f*(v + v0)/(v - vs)

Here, f is the frequency = 500Hz

v is the velocity of the wave, = 334m/s

v0 is the velocity of the observer = 20m/s

vs is the velocity of the source = 0m/s

Then we have:

f' = 500Hz*(334m/s + 20m/s)/(334m/s) = 529.9 Hz

Identify and define the four major forms of matter, explain how melting, freezing, boiling,
mina [271]

There are four forms of matter: Solid, Liquid, gas and Plasma and matter undergoes various state changes termed as melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation, sublimation and deposition.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solids

A matter that have a definite shape because of its closely packed molecular structure; are known as Solids. It can be identified as they have a definite shape and cannot flow or float without external forces are applied.

Liquids

These have a an internal molecular structure with comparatively more spaces with one another. Liquids have a property to flow and change shape according to the container it is taken.

Gases

The internal molecular structure of gases has the widest range of space among one another and thus they have a floating property because of least density.

Plasma

A complete ionized gas which has equal amount of positively and negatively charged ions. The best example of plasma is a plasma-ball.

<u>Phase transformation among the four forms of matter</u>

<u>Melting</u>

A matter changing from a solid phase to liquid phase is known as melting. Ex: Ice into water

<u>Freezing</u>

A matter changing from liquid to solid is known as freezing.

<u>Boiling</u>

When the liquid is heated to its boiling point, this gets transformed into the state of gas where liquid's pressure equals to the external pressure.

<u>Evaporation</u>

Once the liquid reached the temperature range above the boiling point ad starts converting into vapours or gaseous state.

<u>Condensation</u>

When the gases changes from the gaseous phase to liquid phase, this is called condensation.

<u>Sublimation</u>

The change of solid into gas is called as sublimation.

<u>Deposition</u>

Deposition refers the thermodynamic process where phase transition takes place as the gas solidifies without passing through the liquid phase. An example: the process of converting water vapour from frozen air directly into ice without initially becoming a liquid.

If the rectangular barge is 3.0 m by 20.0 m and sits 0.70 m deep in the harbor, how deep will it sit in the river?
leva [86]

The harbour contains salt water while the river contains fresh water. So assuming that the densities of fresh water and salt water are:

density (salt water) = 1029 kg / m^3

density (fresh water) = 1000 kg / m^3

The amount of water (in mass) displaced by the barge should be equal in two waters.

mass displaced (salt water) = mass displaced (fresh water)

Since mass is also the product of density and volume, therefore:

<span>[density * volume]_salt water = [density * volume]_fresh water                 ---> 1</span>

 

First we calculate the amount of volume displaced in the harbour (salt water):

V = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * 0.70 m

V = 42 m^3 of salt water

Plugging in the values into equation 1:

1029 kg / m^3 * 42 m^3 = 1000 kg/m^3 * Volume fresh water

Volume fresh water displaced = 43.218 m^3

 

Therefore the depth of the barge in the river is:

43.218 m^3 = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * h

<span>h = 0.72 m        (ANSWER)</span>
