Because the molecules are vibrating. Also keep in mind that when a substance is a solid its molecules are tightly packed. When it is a liquid its molecules are less compact

A phonograph record 0.15 m in its radius rotates 18 times per 90 seconds what is the frequency?
ioda

Answer:

The frequency of the phonograph record is 0.2 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of an object moving in uniform circular motion is the number of completed cycles the object makes in a specified time period

The given parameters of the phonograph record are;

The radius of the record = 0.15 m

The number of times the phonograph record rotates, n = 18 times

The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times, t = 90 seconds

The frequency of the phonograph record, f = (The number of times the phonograph record rotates) ÷ (The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times)

∴ The frequency of the phonograph record, f = n/t = 18/(90 s) = 0.2 Hz

The frequency of the phonograph record = 0.2 Hz.

A tennis ball connected to a string is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.15
Oksanka [162]

1) 5.5 N

When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, the equation of the forces is the following:

T-mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

where

T is the tension in the string, which points upward

mg is the weight of the string, which points downward, with

m = 0.158 kg being the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 being the acceleration due to gravity

m \frac{v^2}{R} is the centripetal force, which points upward, with

v = 5.22 m/s being the speed of the ball

R = 1.1 m being the radius of the circular trajectory

Substituting numbers and re-arranging the formula, we find T:

T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{R}=(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)+(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=5.5 N

2) 3.9 N

When the ball is at the side of the circle, the only force acting along the centripetal direction is the tension in the string, therefore the equation of the forces becomes:

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And by substituting the numerical values, we find

T=(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=3.9 N

3) 2.3 N

When the ball is at the top of the circle, both the tension and the weight of the ball point downward, in the same direction of the centripetal force. Therefore, the equation of the force is

T+mg=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And substituting the numerical values and re-arranging it, we find

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(0.158 kg)\frac{5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}-(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2.3 N

4) 3.3 m/s

The minimum velocity for the ball to keep the circular motion occurs when the centripetal force is equal to the weight of the ball, and the tension in the string is zero; therefore:

T=0\\mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

and re-arranging the equation, we find

v=\sqrt{gR}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(1.1 m)}=3.3 m/s
