A puck of mass 0.5100.510kg is attached to the end of a cord 0.8270.827m long. The puck moves in a horizontal circle without fri

ction. If the cord can withstand a maximum tension of 126126N, what is the highest frequency at which the puck can go around the circle without the cord breaking?

Answer: 2.75 1/sec

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the puck, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r (1)

Our unknown, is the frequency at which the puck can go around the circle, which is the inverse of the period Tp.

By definition, a period is the time needed by the puck to complete one entire circle.

By definition also , angular velocity is the rate of change of the angle advanced, so we can express this way:

ω = ∆θ / ∆t  

The angle advanced during one period, is exactly (by angle definition) 2 π radians.

So, we can always write the angular velocity, ω, as follows:

ω = 2π / Tp = 2πf

Now, there is a relationship between linear and angular velocity, that can be found applying simply the definition of velocity and of an angle too, as follows:

v = ∆s / ∆t = r ∆θ/∆t = ω r

Replacing in (1), we have:

T = mω2 r2 / r = m ω2r (2)

We have just found that ω= 2πf, so, replacing in (2) :

T = m (2π)2 f2 r  

Solving for f:

f = 1/2π√(T/mr) = 1/2π 17.28 1/sec = 2.75 1/sec

Frame S' passes frame S in the usual way. Two events are simultaneous in S'.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

c)They can also be simultaneous in S if their separation is zero.

Explanation:

By relativity theory, we can say two events when seen from two different reference frames can only be simultaneous when they are at the same space location and occur simultaneously in at least one reference frame, therefore when Frame S′ usually passes Frame S. Two occurrences in S′ are simultaneous, therefore these occurrences can be simultaneous in S when their separation is 0 (that is they are at the same location)

And therefore option c. If their separation is zero, they can also be simultaneous in S.

Which of the following objects have gravitational potential energy?
Brut [27]

Answer:

The apple

Explanation:

The apple has gravitational potential energy because it is just sitting there but nothing is pushing it up, it is not sitting on something. This means that it has a lot of gravitational potential energy as nothing is pushing it up.

An object traveling at a constant speed but with a changing direction is accelerating.
prohojiy [21]

Strange as it may seem, that's true. (choice 'a'.)

"Acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up".  It means ANY change in
the speed or direction of motion.  So a car with the brakes applied
and slowing down, and a point on the rim of a bicycle wheel that's
turning at a constant rate, are both accelerating.

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b) True.    the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

     fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

     fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

     (G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

      fr - w = 0

      fr = mg

      (G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

     G v = mg

     v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight
