We can use the equation vf (the final velocity) =vi (the initial velocity) +at (aceleration times time)

We know the final velocity 100m/s, the initial velocity 0, and the acceleration (gravity) 9.8m/s^2. So, 100=0+9.8t. t=100/9.8

Positive charge Q is placed on a conducting spherical shell with inner radius R1 and outer radius R2. The electric field at a po
gregori [183]

Answer:

E = 0    r <R₁

Explanation:

If we use Gauss's law

      Ф = ∫ E. dA = q_{int} / ε₀

in this case the charge is distributed throughout the spherical shell and as we are asked for the field for a radius smaller than the radius of the spherical shell, therefore, THERE ARE NO CHARGES INSIDE this surface.

Consequently by Gauss's law the electric field is ZERO

           E = 0    r <R₁

You pull straight up on the string of a yo-yo with a force 0.35 N, and while your hand is moving up a distance 0.16 m, the yo-yo
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

a) 0.138J

b) 3.58m/S

c) (1.52J)(I)

Explanation:

a) to find the increase in the translational kinetic energy you can use the relation

\Delta E_k=W=W_g-W_p

where Wp is the work done by the person and Wg is the work done by the gravitational force

By replacing Wp=Fh1 and Wg=mgh2, being h1 the distance of the motion of the hand and h2 the distance of the yo-yo, m is the mass of the yo-yo, then you obtain:

Wp=(0.35N)(0.16m)=0.056J\\\\Wg=(0.062kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(0.32m)=0.19J\\\\\Delta E_k=W=0.19J-0.056J=0.138J

the change in the translational kinetic energy is 0.138J

b) the new speed of the yo-yo is obtained by using the previous result and the formula for the kinetic energy of an object:

\Delta E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2

where vf is the final speed, vo is the initial speed. By doing vf the subject of the formula and replacing you get:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2}{m}}\sqrt{\Delta E_k+(1/2)mv_o^2}\\\\v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2}{0.062kg}}\sqrt{0.138J+1/2(0.062kg)(2.9m/s)^2}=3.58\frac{m}{s}

the new speed is 3.58m/s

c) in this case what you can compute is the quotient between the initial rotational energy and the final rotational energy

\frac{E_{fr}}{E_{fr}}=\frac{1/2I\omega_f^2}{1/2I\omega_o^2}=\frac{\omega_f^2}{\omega_o^2}\\\\\omega_f=\frac{v_f}{r}\\\\\omega_o=\frac{v_o}{r}\\\\\frac{E_{fr}}{E_{fr}}=\frac{v_f^2}{v_o^2}=\frac{(3.58m/s)}{(2.9m/s)^2}=1.52J

hence, the change in Er is about 1.52J times the initial rotational energy
