Anna Litical is practicing a centripetal force demonstration at home. She fills a bucket with water, ties it to a strong rope, a

nd spins it in a circle. Anna spins the bucket when it is half-full of water and when it is quarter-full of water. In which case is more force required to spin the bucket in a circle? Explain using an equation as a "guide to thinking.

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose when bucket is half full it has a mass of 2 m rotating in a circle of  radius r

When Bucket is quarter full then it has a mass of m rotating in a circle of radius r.

When an object moves in a circular path then it experiences an inward force which is given by

F_1=\frac{2mv^2}{r}

where v=velocity of bucket

Force in case 2 is given by

F_2=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Thus F_1=2F_2

therefore force required in half bucket is more than force required in quarter bucket full.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Explanation:

To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

K.E\geq P.E

or

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 \geq  G\dfrac{Mm}{R}

where m is the mass of the asteroid, R= 24,000,000\:m is its distance form earth's center, M = 5.9*10^{24}kg is the mass of the earth, and G = 6.7*10^{-11}m^3/kg\: s^2 is the gravitational constant.

Solving for v we get:

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R} }

putting in numerical values gives

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2(6.7*10^{-11})(5.9*10^{24})}{(24,000,000)} }

\boxed{v\geq 5739.5m/s}

in kilometers this is

v\geq5.7395m/s.

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Why do magnetic bodies lose their magnetic force?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Well a s the temperature increases, at a certain point called the Curie temperature, a magnet will lose its strength completely. So once the metal cools, its ability to attract magnets returns, though its permanent magnetism becomes weak. In general heat is the factor that has the most effect on permanent magnets.Explanation:

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days). Determine the average angular velocity (in
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Given that

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days)

a)

When earth spins on its axis

We know that earth take 1 day to complete one revolution around its own axis.

T= 1 day = 24 hr = 24 x 3600 s

T=86400 s

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/86400

ω=7.27 x 10⁻5 rad/s

b)

When earth revolve around earth

T =365 1/4 days = 365.25 days

T= 365.24 x 86400 s

T=31557600

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/31557600

ω=1.99 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s
