Answer:

v = 3.81 m/s

Explanation:

First, we will find out the radius (r)

sinΘ = r / L

or

r = LsinΘ

on substituting the values, we get

r = 1.2 × sin18°

or

r = 0.370 m

Now,

The tension (T) can be calculated as

ΣF(y) = 0

or

Tcos18° - mg  = 0

or

T = mg / cos18.8°

on substituting the values, we have

T = (2kg x 9.8m/s²) / cos18°

or

T = 20.60 N

Now, applying the equilibrium condition in horizontal direction. we have

\Sigma F_x = ma_c = Tsin\theta = 0

also, the centripetal acceleration a_c=\frac{v}{r}

on substituting the values, we get

m(v² / r) = Tsin18°

v = (rTsin18° / m)

v = [(1.2m)(20.60 × sin18°) / 2kg]

v = 3.81 m/s

What kinds of information does the ALMA radio telescope provide?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

ALMA is a trans-formative radio telescope that can study cosmic light that straddles the boundary between radio and infrared. Most objects in the Universe emit this kind of energy, so the ability to detect it has been a driver for astronomers for decades.

An iron nail is made up of particles. What is true about the particles?Why does ice float on water?
Archy [21]

Answer: i know that ice is denser than water because of the reason why ice is expanding:air. ice has tiny air packets inside that make it bigger than the original state(the state which a substance is at at room temperature.

The element symbol for iron is Fe, which comes from the Latin word for iron, "ferrum."

Iron is one of the most plentiful elements. It comprises about 5.6 percent of the Earth's crust and almost all of its core

Iron is a transition metal.

Animals and plants require iron. Plants use iron in chlorophyll, the pigment used in photosynthesis. Humans use iron in hemoglobin molecules in blood to allow for the transport of oxygen to tissues throughout the body.
