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 8.13 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 6.04 rev/s. (a) Which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) What is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2

(a) 6.04 rev/s

The speed of the ball is given by:

v=\omega r

where

\omega is the angular speed

r is the distance of the ball from the centre of the circle

In situation 1), we have

\omega=8.13 rev/s \cdot 2\pi = 51.0 rad/s

r = 0.600 m

So the speed of the ball is

v=(51.0 rad/s)(0.600 m)=30.6 m/s

In situation 2), we have

\omega=6.04 rev/s \cdot 2\pi = 37.9 rad/s

r = 0.900 m

So the speed of the ball is

v=(37.9 rad/s)(0.900 m)=34.1 m/s

So, the ball has greater speed when rotating at 6.04 rev/s.

(b) 1561 m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration of the ball is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v is the speed

r is the distance of the ball from the centre of the trajectory

For situation 1),

v = 30.6 m/s

r = 0.600 m

So the centripetal acceleration is

a=\frac{(30.6 m/s)^2}{0.600 m}=1561 m/s^2

(c) 1292 m/s^2

For situation 2 we have

v = 34.1 m/s

r = 0.900 m

So the centripetal acceleration is

a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{(34.1 m/s)^2}{0.900 m}=1292 m/s^2

Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.8 x 105 kg on springs that hav
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The force constant is  k =1.316 *10^{7} \  N/m

The energy stored in the spring is  E =  1.68 *10^{7} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the object is  M  = 4.8*10^{5} \ kg

    The period is T  = 1.2 \ s

The period of the spring oscillation is  mathematically represented as

         T  =2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{M}{k}}

where  k is the force constant

   So making k the subject

       k = \frac{4 \pi ^2 M }{T^2}

substituting values

       k = \frac{4 (3.142) ^2 (4.8 *10^{5}) }{(1.2)^2}

      k =1.316 *10^{7} \  N/m

The energy stored in the spring is mathematically represented  as

       E =  \frac{1}{2} k x^2

Where x is the spring displacement which is given as

        x =  1.6 \ m

substituting values

      E =  \frac{1}{2} (1.316 *10^{7}) (1.6)^2

       E =  1.68 *10^{7} \ J

Why might an electromagnet be used to pick up old cars in junk yards?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
I think the correct answer would be that because electromagnets are powerful and can be turned off and on anytime. Electromagnet is a magnet in which the magnetic field is made by the electric current that is induced to the system.
