An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the

rate of 8.05 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. When he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.53 rev/s.
A) Which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball?
B) What is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.16 rev/s?
C) What is the centripetal acceleration at 6.35 rev/s?

Answer:

a) 2nd case rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball

b) 1534.98 m/s^2

c) 1515.04 m/s^2

Explanation:

(a) v = ωR

when R = 0.60, ω = 8.05×2π

v = 0.60×8.05×2π = 30.34 m/s

Now in 2nd case

when R = 0.90, ω = 6.53×2π

v = 0.90×6.53×2π = 36.92 m/s

6.35 rev/s gives greater speed for the ball.

(b) a = ω^2 R = (8.05×2π)^2 )(0.60) = 1534.98 m/s^2

(c) a = ω^2 R = (6.53×2π)^2 )(0.90) = 1515.05 m/s^2

Calculate the average linear momentum of a particle described by the following wavefunctions: (a) eikx, (b) cos kx, (c) e−ax2 ,

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) p=0, b) p=0, c) p= ∞

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics the moment operator is given by

p = - i h’ d φ / dx

h’= h / 2π

We apply this equation to the given wave functions

a) φ = $e^{ikx}$

.d φ dx = i k $e^{ikx}$

We replace

p = h’ k $e^{ikx}$

i i = -1

The exponential is a sine and cosine function, so its measured value is zero, so the average moment is zero

p = 0

b) φ = cos kx

p = h’ k sen kx

The average sine function is zero,

p = 0

c) φ = $e^{-ax^{2} }$

d φ / dx = -a 2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

.p = i a g ’2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

The average moment is

p = (p₂ + p₁) / 2

p = i a h ’(-∞ + ∞)

p = ∞

It took a crew 9 h 36 min to row 8 km upstream and back again. If the rate of flow of the stream was 2 km/h, what was the rowing

babunello [35]

Answer:

3 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call the rowing speed in still water x, in km/h.

Rowing speed in upstream is: x - 2 km/h

Rowing speed in downstream is: x + 2 km/h

It took a crew 9 h 36 min ( = 9 3/5 = 48/5) to row 8 km upstream and back again. Therefore:

8/(x - 2) + 8/(x + 2) = 48/5 (notice that: time = distance/speed)

Multiplying by x² - 2², which is equivalent to (x-2)*(x+2)

8*(x+2) + 8*(x-2) = (48/5)*(x² - 4)

Dividing by 8

(x+2) + (x-2) = (6/5)*(x² - 4)

2*x = (6/5)*x² - 24/5

0 = (6/5)*x² - 2*x - 24/5

Using quadratic formula

$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(6/5)(-24/5)}}{2(6/5)}$

$x = \frac{2 \pm 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_1 = \frac{2 + 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_1 = 3$

$x_2 = \frac{2 - 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_2 = -1\; 1/3$

A negative result has no sense, therefore the rowing speed in still water was 3 km/h

The ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is an artifact is 1:3. Given that half-life of carbon-14 is 5730years, how old is the arti

dusya [7]

Answer:

9155 years old

Explanation:

We use the following expression for the decay of a substance:

$N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}$

So we first estimate the value of k knowing that the half-life of the C14 is 5730 years:

$N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}\\N_0/2=N_0\,\,e^{-k*5730}\\1/2 = e^{-k*5730}\\ln(1/2)=-k*5730\\k= 0.00012$

so, now we can estimate the age of the artifact by solving for"t" in the equation:

$1/3=e^{-0.00012*t}\\ln(1/3)= -0.00012*t\\t=9155. 102$

which we can round to 9155 years old.

Calculate the approximate volume of a uranium nucleus, 23592u. (you can ignore the mass defect in this calculation and simply ta

tester [92]

Radius of nuclei is given by formula

$R = R_oA^{1/3}$

now we can say volume of the nuclei is given as

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R_o^3* A$

now the density is given as

density = mass / volume

mass of nuclei = mass of neutron + mass of protons

$m = z*m_p + (A- z)*m_n$

$m_p = m_n = 1.008u$

$m = A*1.008u$

Now density is given as

$\rho = \frac{A*1.008u}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R_0^3* A}$

here we know that

$R_0$ = 1.2 fm

$\rho = \frac{1.008u}{\frac{4}{3}\pi*(1.2*10^{-15})^3}$

$\rho = 2.31 * 10^{17} kg/m^3$

So from above we can say that density of all nuclei is almost same.

no

Explanation:

I do not think that I would because even though its a conductor in the insulator I think it would insulate it before it will work (not sure if that makes sense)
