illustrates a method for solving this problem. A "swing" ride at a carnival consists of chairs that are swung in a circle by 19.

6 m cables attached to a vertical rotating pole, as the drawing shows. Suppose the total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg. (a) Determine the tension in the cable attached to the chair. (b) Find the speed of the chair.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the cable is 19.6 m, l = 19.6 m

Let us assume that the angle with vertical rotating pole is 63 degrees.

The total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg.

(a) Let T is the tension in the cable attached to the chair. So,

T\cos\theta=mg\\\\T=\dfrac{mg}{\cos\theta}\\\\T=\dfrac{250\times 9.8}{\cos(63)}\\\\T=5396.58\ N

(b) The centripetal acceleration acts on it such that,

\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g\tan\theta\\\\v=\sqrt{Rg\tan\theta} \\\\v=\sqrt{l\sin\theta g\tan\theta}\\\\v=\sqrt{19.6\times \sin(63)9.8\times \tan(63)}\\\\v=18.32\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A net force of 125 N accelerates a 25.0 kg mass. What is the resulting acceleration?
Neko [114]

Answer: a=5 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be calculated by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force applied on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have F=125 N and m=25.0 kg, so we can rearrange the equation to calculate the acceleration:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{125 N}{25.0 kg}=5 m/s^2

The voltage across the diode indicates the energy given to charge carriers (electrons and holes, but more about that later in th
Elis [28]

Answer:

the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy in a diode is conserved so the energy supplied must be equal to the energy emitted in the form of photons.

The energy of a photon is given by the Planck expression

             E = h f

the speed of light, wavelength and frequency are related

             c = λ f

we substitute

             E = \frac{h \ c}{\lambda}

a red photon has a wavelength of lam = 700 nm = 700 10⁻⁹ m

we calculate the energy

              E = 6.626 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸/700 10⁻⁹

              E = 2.8397 10⁻¹⁹J

therefore the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J,
