A string under a tension of 68 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 3.7 m at a speed of 16.53 m/s. The str
alekssr [168]

Answer:

F = 5253.7 N

Explanation:

As we know that tension force in the string will be equal to the centripetal force on the string

so we will have

T = \frac{mv^2}{L}

now we have

68 = \frac{m(16.53^2)}{3.7}

now we have

68 = 73.8 m

m = 0.92 kg

now when string length is 0.896 m and its speed is 71.5 m/s then we will have

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

F = \frac{0.92(71.5^2)}{0.896}

F = 5253.7 N

A child is sitting on the outer edge of a merry-go-round that is 1.5 m in diameter. If the merry-go-round makes 3.2 rev/min, wha
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

the velocity of the kid is 5.6 m/s

Explanation:

r is the radius and w is the frequency.

so we should know that the diameter is 18m and the diameter is equal to two times the radius, so r = 18m/2 = 9m

we should also know that the circumference of a circle is equal to c = 2pi*r, so each revolution has this length. if the kid does 5.9 revolutions in one minute then the kid spins at v = 5.9*2pi*9m/min

so we want to write this in meters per second and this means that we need to divide it by 60!

v = (5.9*2pi*9/60)m/s = 5.56 m/s

so your answer will be  5.6 m/s glad i could help!

A snowboarder is sliding back and forth on a half pipe at one point she leaves the top of the half pipe and slides to the other
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

he kinetic energy increases on the descent, being maximum at the lowest point of the trajectory.

Explanation:

In these semicircular sections the skaters slide from one side to the other, in the downward path their kinetic energy increases and their potential energy decreases; When it leaves the ramp and is in the air, the kinetic energy decreases rapidly, up to the point of maximum height where the kinetic energy is zero.

Consequently, the kinetic energy increases on the descent, being maximum at the lowest point of the trajectory.
