Answer:

Revolution of moon around the earth

Explanation:

The revolution of moon around the earth.

The gravitational force acting on the moon is balanced by the centripetal force acting on the moon.

Gravitational force of earth on moon is given by

$F = G \frac{M m}{r^{2}}$

where, M be the mass of earth, m be the mass of moon and r be the distance between moon and earth.

The centripetal force acting on moon is

$F = \frac{m v^{2}}{r}$

These two forces balance each other and then the moon revolves around the earth in fixed orbit.

A car travels at a steady 40.0 m/s around a horizontal curve of radius 200 m. What is the minimumcoefficient of static friction

zhenek [66]

Answer:

c. 0.816

Explanation:

Let the mass of car be 'm' and coefficient of static friction be 'μ'.

Given:

Speed of the car (v) = 40.0 m/s

Radius of the curve (R) = 200 m

As the car is making a circular turn, the force acting on it is centripetal force which is given as:

Centripetal force is, $F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

The frictional force is given as:

Friction = Normal force × Coefficient of static friction

$f=\mu N$

As there is no vertical motion, therefore, $N=mg$ . So,

$f=\mu mg$

Now, the centripetal force is provided by the frictional force. Therefore,

Frictional force = Centripetal force

$f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu=\frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

$\mu = \frac{(40\ m/s)^2}{200\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\\mu=\frac{1600\ m^2/s^2}{1960\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.816$

Therefore, option (c) is correct.

A 0.10 newton spring toy with a spring constant of 160 newtons per meter is compressed 0.05 meter before it is launched. When re

forsale [732]

Answer:

(1) V = 0.2 J (2) 0.05J

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

K = 160 N/m

x = 0.05 m

Now,

(1) we solve for the initial potential energy stored

Thus,

V = 1/2 kx² = 0.5 * 160 * (0.05)²

Therefore V = 0.2 J

(2)Now, we solve for how much of the internal energy is produced as the toy springs up to its maximum height.

By using the energy conversion, we have the following

ΔV = mgh

=(0.1/9.8) * 9.8 * 1.5 = 0.15J

The internal energy = 0.2 -0.15

=0.05J

In any given wave, when the frequency of the wave doubles (f = 2f), which of the following other changes would also take place?

Zanzabum

Answer:

The correct answer is -

B. The velocity would double (v = 2v).

C. The wavelength would be half (λ = λ/2).

Explanation:

A wave has a speed or velocity that is related to the wavelength of the wave and the frequency of the wave and this relationship can be represented by the following equation-

Wave velocity V = Wavelength (λ) * Frequency (f)

Frequency (f) = Velocity (V) / Wavelength(λ).

The frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional and frequency and velocity are directly proportional to each other.

So, if f = 2f then,

putting value in the formula,

2f = 2v/λ, which means, f = 2v and f = λ/2

when the frequency is doubled, the wavelength will be halved and velocity will be doubled.
