Answer:

Centripetal force is the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward towards the center of rotation.

Explanation:

Definition of centripetal force:

Centripetal force is the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward towards the center of rotation.

Example of centripetal force

A string on the end of which a stone is whirled about exerts a centripetal force on the stone.

The diagram is shown below

Where

The centripetal forces acting towards the centre C that is $\vec {AC}$

and the direction is from A to C.

And the stone is moving in a circular motion with center as C.

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 1.5 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th

Inessa05 [86]

initially coin is at rest and then it drop for total time t = 1.5 s

so here the speed of the coin at which it will hit the floor is to be find

$v_f = v_i + at$

here we know that

$v_i = 0$

a = 9.8 m/s^2

t = 1.5 s

now from above equation

$v_f = 0 + 1.5 (9.8)$

$v_f = 14.7 m/s$

so it will hit the floor with speed 14.7 m/s

Inductors in parallel. Two inductors L1 = 1.31 H and L2 = 2.24 H are connected in parallel and separated by a large distance so

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) 0.83H

b) 3.22/N Henry

Explanation:

Given two inductors L1 = 1.31 H and L2 = 2.24 H connected in parallel, their equivalent inductance derivative is similar to that of resistance in parallel.

Derivation:

If the voltage across an inductor

VL = IXL

I is the current

XL is the inductive reactance

XL = 2πfL

VL = I(2πfL)

L is the inductance.

From the formula, I = V/2πfL

Given two inductors in parallel, different current will flow through them.

I1 = V/2πfL1 (current in L1)

I2 = V/2πfL2 (current in L2)

Total current I = I1+I2

I = V/2πfL1 + V/2πfL2

I = V/2πf{1/L1+1/L2}

V/2πfL = V/2πf{1/L1+1/L2}

1/L = 1/L1+1/L2 (equivalent inductance in parallel)

Given L1 = 1.31 H and L2 = 2.24

1/L = 1/1.31 + 1/2.24

1/L = 0.763 + 0.446

1/L = 1.209

L = 1/1.209

L = 0.83H

The equivalent inductance is 0.83H

b) Given similar inductors L = 3.22H in parallel, the equivalent inductance will be:

1/L = 1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22

+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22

1/L = 10/3.22 (since that all have the same denominator)

L = 3.22/10

If N = 10, the generalization of 10 similar inductors in parallel will be:

L = 3.22/N Henry

Now I can actually edit my answer directly: I'm fairly sure I've got this wrong, and my mind has gone blank for how to do it, if someone could delete this that would be great and I'll think about it and see if I can figure it out!

When the spring, with the attached 275.0 g mass, is displaced from its new equilibrium position, it undergoes SHM. Calculate the

topjm [15]

Answer:

The period of oscillation is 1.33 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 275.0 g

Suppose value of spring constant is 6.2 N/m.

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

Where, m = mass

k = spring constant

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.2}{275.0\times10^{-3}}}$

$\omega=4.74\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the period of oscillation,

Using formula of time period

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{4.74}$

$T=1.33\ sec$

Hence, The period of oscillation is 1.33 sec.

HELP PLEASE 20 POINTS SHOW WORK, ALL EQUATIONS

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

s = 3 m

Explanation:

Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.

Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.

the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are

s = vt = 40(t + 2) cm

s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm

they pass when their distance is the same

½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)

10t² = 40t + 80

0 = 10t² - 40t - 80

0 = t² - 4t - 8

t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)

t = (4± 6.928) / 2 ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.

t = 5.464 s

s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm

300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.
