Complete Question:

A 0.50-kg ball that is tied to the end of a 1.5-m light cord is revolved in a horizontal plane, with the cord making a 30° angle with the vertical.

(a) Determine the ball’s speed. (b) If, instead, the ball is revolved so that its

speed is 3.7 m/s, what angle does the cord make with the vertical?

(Check attached image for the diagram.)

Answer:

(a) The ball’s speed, v = 2.06 m/s

(b) The angle the cord makes with the vertical is 50.40⁰

Explanation:

If the ball is revolved in a horizontal plane, it will form a circular trajectory,

the radius of the circle, R = Lsinθ

where;

L is length of the string

The force acting on the ball is given as;

F = mgtanθ

This above is also equal to centripetal force;

$mgTan \theta = \frac{mv^2}{R} \\\\Recall, R = Lsin \theta\\\\mgTan \theta = \frac{mv^2}{Lsin \theta}\\\\v^2 = glTan \theta sin \theta\\\\v = \sqrt{glTan \theta sin \theta} \\\\v = \sqrt{(9.8)(1.5)(Tan30)(sin30)} \\\\v = 2.06 \ m/s$

(b) when the speed is 3.7 m/s

$v = \sqrt{glTan \theta sin \theta} \ \ \ ;square \ both \ sides\\\\v^2 = glTan \theta sin \theta\\\\v^2 = gl(\frac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}) sin \theta\\\\v^2 = \frac{gl*sin^2 \theta}{cos \theta} \\\\v^2 = \frac{gl*(1- cos^2 \theta)}{cos \theta}\\\\gl*(1- cos^2 \theta) = v^2cos \theta\\\\(9.8*1.5)(1- cos^2 \theta) = (3.7^2)cos \theta\\\\14.7 - 14.7cos^2 \theta = 13.69cos \theta\\\\14.7cos^2 \theta + 13.69cos \theta - 14.7 = 0 \ \ \ ; this \ is \ quadratic \ equation\\\\$

$Cos\theta = \frac{13.69\sqrt{13.69^2 -(-4*14.7*14.7)} }{14.7} \\\\Cos \theta = 0.6374\\\\\theta = Cos^{-1}(0.6374)\\\\\theta = 50.40 ^o$

Therefore, the angle the cord makes with the vertical is 50.40⁰

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The force of repulsion between two people is $13.851\times 10^{6}$ newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

Explanation:

a) From Second Newton's Law, we form this equation of equilibrium:

$\Sigma F = F_{E}-W = 0$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$F_{E}$ - Electrostatic force exerted on human, measured in Newton.

$W$ - Weight of the human, measured in Newton.

If we consider that human can be represented as a particle and make use of definitions of electric field and weight, the previous equation is expanded and electric charge is cleared afterwards:

$q\cdot E-m\cdot g = 0$

$q = \frac{m\cdot g}{E}$ (Eq. 2)

$E$ - Electric field, measured in Newtons per Coloumb.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

As electric field of the Earth is directed in toward the center of the planet, that is, in the same direction of gravity, electric field must be a negative value. If we know that $m = 60\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $E = -150\,\frac{N}{C}$ , the charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is:

$q = \frac{(60\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{-150\,\frac{N}{C} }$

$q = -3.923\,C$

The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The electric force of repulsion between two people with the same charge calculated in part (a) is determined by Coulomb's Law, whose definition we proceed to use:

$F = \kappa \cdot \frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}}$ (Eq. 3)

Where:

$\kappa$ - Electrostatic constant, measured in Newton-square meter per square Coulomb.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

$r$ - Distance between two people, measured in meters.

If we know that $\kappa = 9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , $q = -3.923\,C$ and $r = 100\,m$ , then the force of repulsion between two people is:

$F = \left(9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{(-3.923\,C)^{2}}{(100\,m)^{2}} \right]$

$F = 13.851\times 10^{6}\,N$

The force of repulsion between two people is $13.851\times 10^{6}$ newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

How do i exist (serious question, i'm in the dark abyss of nothing please help)

Reptile [31]

The only evidence you have that you exist as a self-aware being is your conscious experience of thinking about your existence. Beyond that you're on your own. You cannot access anyone else's conscious thoughts, so you will never know if they are self-aware.
