Josh has a toy car of mass 3 kg tied to a string of length 2 m. He ties the string to a pole and has the toy car drive in a circ

le around the pole at a speed of 3 m/s.
a. What is the centripetal acceleration of the car?

b. If the tension in the string exceeds 50 N, the string will break. How fast can he make the car go without breaking the string?

Part a)

Centripetal acceleration is defined as

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

now here we know that

v = 3m/s

R = 2 m

m = 3 kg

now from above formula we have

a_c = \frac{3^2}{2}

a_c = 4.5 m/s^2

Part b)

Maximum possible tension in the string is given as

T = 50 N

now by force equation we have

F = ma

50 = 3 a

a = \frac{50}{3} m/s^2

now again by above formula

\frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{50}{3}

v = \sqrt{\frac{50 \times 2}{3}}

v = 5.77 m/s

a) a=v^2/R=4.5 m/s/s

b) F=ma=mv^2/R, so

v=\sqrt{FR/m}=5.77 m/s

Middle adulthood marks the time period in which some adults face the fabled midlife crisis. What exactly is that? Do you think y
MariettaO [177]

<span>The middle life crisis occurs for men at age of 39 and for women at age of 44. At this age, people start realizing that they are getting older and experience some physical changes which seem distressful for them.</span>

<span> It affects the sense of accomplishment and progress in career. Due to a midlife crisis, people start engaging in activities to cope with the reality such as wearing clothes that are fashionable, dating someone etc. Yes, I think I will also go through one because it happens with everyone in this age.  It can be avoided by accepting the fact that these changes are reality and everyone have to face it one day.</span>

The Special Olympics raises money through "plane pull" events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 k
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

28716.4740661 N

1.2131147541 m/s

51.2474965841%

Explanation:

m = Mass of plane = 74000 kg

s = Displacement = 3.7 m

f = Frictional force = 14000 N

t = Time taken = 6.1 s

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 3.7=0\times 6.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.7\times 2}{6.1^2}\\\Rightarrow a=0.198871271164\ m/s^2

Force is given by

F=ma+f\\\Rightarrow F=74000\times 0.198871271164+14000\\\Rightarrow F=28716.4740661\ N

The force with which the team pulls the plane is 28716.4740661 N

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.198871271164\times 6.1\\\Rightarrow v=1.2131147541\ m/s

The speed of the plane is 1.2131147541 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74000\times 1.2131147541^2\\\Rightarrow K=54450.9540448\ J

Work done is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=28716.4740661\times 3.7\\\Rightarrow W=106250.954045\ J

The fraction is given by

\dfrac{54450.9540448}{106250.954045}=0.512474965841

The teams 51.2474965841% of the work goes to kinetic energy of the plane.

The energy of a photon was found to be 3.38 x 10-19 J. Planck's constant is 6.63 x 10-34 J. S. Which color of light corresponds
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of a photon is, E=3.38\times 10^{-19}\ J

We need to tell the color of this light. We know that, the energy of a photon is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where

c is the speed of light

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.38 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\\lambda=5.88\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=588\ nm

The wavelength of yellow light is approx 580 nm. Hence, we can say that this photon corresponds to yellow light.

If a an object is traveling at a rate of 5 meters per second squared with a force of 10 Newtons, what is the mass of the object?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

2 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 5 m/s^2

Force = 10 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 10 / 5

mass = 2 kg

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Speed of a wave is denoted by:

v=fλ

where f is the frequency which is unchanged 15Hz and λ is the new wavelength which is 28m

v=fλ

v=15(28)\\v=420m/s
