Its similar to the moon orbiting the earth because lets say that the sing is moon and the ball is earth has the "moon" orbits around the "earth" the string ends up tying around the ball till its no more


i think i hope this example helps you somehow srry that i dont know more then that :/

Answer:

It is a similar case, given that both can be modeled as uniform circular motion. The inward force for the Earth-moon case is provided by gravity's force, and in the case of the ball-string it is provided by the tension on the string.

Explanation:

There are parellels between both cases:

in the Earth-moon movement, the mass of each astral body generates a pulling force (gravity) which, given the correct circumstances, makes each object revolve a common center of mass, almost in a circular trajectory. Of course, since we are not in such point in space but standing on Earth, we see as the moon is revolving around the earth. The inward force would be gravity in this case. There are other forces involved such as the pulling on the sun, but it is common to both bodies so it is not relevant in this picture.

The ball swirling around you is possible because it is attached to a rope or string, which constantly pulls the ball towards the center (you). The force involved here is called the 'tension' on the rope. The circular movement is a combination of tangential velocity and inward radial force. There are other forces which are more relevant here, such as the friction with the air and the acceleration of gravity of the Earth on the ball, which can actually alter the trajectory of the ball. The pulling must supply some pushing force to counter those forces.

For more information and insight on this problem I recommend videos on uniform circular motion and centripetal forces.

Answer:

t=0.42s

Explanation:

Here you have an inelastic collision. By the conservation of the momentum you have:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

m1: mass of the bullet

m2: wooden block mass

v1: velocity of the bullet

v2: velocity of the wooden block

v: velocity of bullet and wooden block after the collision.

By noticing that after the collision, both objects reach the same height from where the wooden block was dropped, you can assume that v is equal to the negative of v2. In other words:

m_1(-v_1)+m_2v_2=(m1+m2)(-v2)

Where you assumed that the negative direction is upward. By replacing and doing v2 the subject of the formula you get:

-(0.0129kg)(767m/s)+(1.17kg)v_2=(1.1829kg)(-v_2)\\\\v_2=4.20m/s

Now, with this information you can use the equation for the final speed of an accelerated motion and doing t the subject of the formula. IN other words:

v_2=v_o+gt\\\\t=\frac{v_2-v_o}{g}=\frac{4.2m/s-0m/s}{9.8m/s^2}=0.42s

hence, the time is t=0.42 s

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:Frequency = 3.525 Hertz

Explanation:In static equilibrium, kd =mg

Where k= effective spring constant of the spring.

mg= The weight of the car.

d= static deflection.

Therefore, w =SQRTg/d

w = SQRT 9.81/0.02

w= 22.15 rad/sec

Converting to Hertz unit for frequency

1 rad/s = 0.1591

22.15rad/s=?

22.15 × 0.1591= 3.525 hertz
