A boy whirls a stone in a horizontal circle of radius 1.50m and at height 2.00m above level ground. The string breaks, and the s

tone flies off horizontally and strikes the ground after traveling a horizontal distance of 10.0m. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the stone during the circular motion?

Answer:

a_{cp}=162.2m/s^2

Explanation:

The time the stone takes to fall can be calculated considering only the vertical component with the formula:

y=y_0+v_{0y}t+\frac{a_yt^2}{2}

Taking the inital height as 0m and downward direction positive, since it departs from (vertical) rest we have:

y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

Which gives us a time:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2m)}{(9.8m/s^2)}}=0.64s

Horizontally, on that time the stone travelled a distance x=10m, which means its horizontal speed was:

v_x=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{10m}{0.64s}=15.6m/s

Since <u>this speed is the tangential velocity</u> while whirling, the centripetal acceleration of the stone was:

a_{cp}=\frac{v_x^2}{r}=\frac{(15.6m/s)^2}{(1.5m)}=162.2m/s^2

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant) of 39.5 n/m so that it wil
mrs_skeptik [129]
The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}   \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }
where 
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.

Re-arranging the formula, we get:
m= \frac{k}{4 \pi^2 f^2}
and since we know the constant of the spring:
k=39.5 N/m
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
m= \frac{39.5 Hz}{4 \pi^2 (1.00 Hz)^2} = 1.00 kg

A brick in the shape of a cube with sides 10 cm has a density of 2500 kg/m^3. What is its weight? a.) 250 N
Arisa [49]

Answer:

c.) 25 N

Explanation:

 We find the volume of the brick, knowing that the volume of a cube is given by the formula:

l=0,1 metros \\V=l^{3}\\V=(0,1\: \: m)^{3}=0,001\: \: m^{3}

being l the side of the cube, which in this case is 10 cm or 0,1 m. Now we find the mass of the object, knowing the density and the Volume of the cube:

m=V*d\\m=(0,001 \:\:m^{3})(2500 \: \: \frac{Kg}{m^{3}})=2,5 \:\: Kg

We find the weight by multiplying the mass of the object with the gravity constant.

W=m*g=(2.5 \:Kg)*(9,81 \:m/s^{2} )=24,5 N\approx25\: N

A 1400 kg car starts from rest on a horizontal road and gains a speed of 61 km/h in 19 s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at the
lana [24]
(a) Let's convert the final speed of the car in m/s:
v_f = 61 km/h = 16.9 m/s
The kinetic energy of the car at t=19 s is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2= \frac{1}{2}(1400 kg)(16.9 m/s)^2=2.00 \cdot 10^5 J

(b) The average power delivered by the engine of the car during the 19 s is equal to the work done by the engine divided by the time interval:
P= \frac{W}{\Delta t}
But the work done is equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the car, and since its initial kinetic energy is zero (because the car starts from rest), this translates into
P= \frac{K}{\Delta t}= \frac{2.00 \cdot 10^5 J}{19 s}=1.05 \cdot 10^4 W

(c) The instantaneous power is given by
P_i = Fv_f
where F is the force exerted by the engine, equal to F=ma.

So we need to find the acceleration first:
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}=  \frac{16.9 m/s}{19 s}=0.89 m/s^2
And the problem says this acceleration is constant during the motion, so now we can calculate the instantaneous power at t=19 s:
P_i = Fv=(ma)v=(1400 kg)(0.89 m/s^2)(16.9 m/s)=2.11 \cdot 10^4 W
