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

In one sentence describe how the electricity in an action potential is generated
vova2212 [387]

Due to influx of potassium ions, electricity is generated in axon of a neuron.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Axon membrane is the semi permeable membrane that is full of potassium and sodium channels. There’s also Sodium Potassium ATPase pumps. When there’s an impulse coming through the synapse, the potassium channels open. This leads to influx of sodium from outside the membrane to inside it. Then the membrane becomes positive.

Then the electricity is generated and its conducted from one part to another. After the impulse is conducted, the sodium potassium pumps come in action which transports 3 sodium inside and 2 potassium outside in consumption to an ATP.

Can someone help on this I'm really stuck
castortr0y [4]
Here, "Wavelength is same for both waves" it is the distance between two crests or two consecutive troughs, so, it is constant for both of them, you can easily figure it out.

In short, Your Answer would be "Wavelength"

Hope this helps!
