A string under a tension of 36 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 3.6 m at a speed of 16.12 m/s. The str

ing is pulled in, and the speed of the rock increases. When the string is 0.468 m long and the speed of the rock is 75.1 m/s, the string breaks.

Answer:

6010.457N

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = a= V²/R

At a radius of 3.6m and velocity of 16.12m/s,

Acceleration is

a = 16.12²/ 3.6 = 72.182 m/s²

Force = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)

36 = m * 72.182

m = 36/72.182

At breaking point

Radius = 0.468 m and Velocity = 75.1 m/s

a = V²/R = 75.1²/0.468

a = 12051.3 m/s

F = Mass(m) * Acceleration (a)

F = m * 12051.3

m = F/ 12051.3

Settings the ratio of mass equal

m = m

=> 36/72.182 = F/12051.3

F = 12051.3 * 36/72.182

F = 6010.457N

A 16-cm-long straight line connects the center of a turntable to its edge. The turntable rotates counter-clockwise at 45 rpm. A
Bond [772]

Answer:

\mathbf{V_x = 3.25 \ cm/s}

\mathbf{V_y = 1.29\ cm/s}

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the table r = 16 cm  = 0.16 m

The angular velocity = 45 rpm

= 45 \times \dfrac{1}{60}(2 \pi)

= 4.71 rad/s

However, the relative velocity of the bug with turntable is:

v = 3.5 cm/s = 0.035 m/s

Thus, the time taken to reach the bug to the end is:

t = \dfrac{r}{v}

t = \dfrac{0.16}{0.035}

t = 4.571s

So the angle made by the radius r  with the horizontal during the time the bug gets to the end is:

\theta = \omega t

\theta = 4.712 \times 4.571

\theta = 21.54^0

Now, the velocity components of the bug with respect to the table is:

V_x = Vcos \theta

V_x = 0.035 \times cos (21.54^0)

V_x = 0.0325 \ m/s

\text {V_x = 3.25 \ cm/s}\mathbf{V_x = 3.25 \ cm/s}

Also, for the vertical component of the velocity V_y

V_y = V sin \theta

V_y = 0.035 \times sin (21.54^0)

V_y = 0.0129\ m/s

\mathbf{V_y = 1.29\ cm/s}

b) The distance of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 427 light years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it woul
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Betelgeuse would be \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} times brighter than Sirius

c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} } the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect

Explanation:

The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:

B = \displaystyle{\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}} (1)

where B is the brightness, L is the star luminosity and d, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:

b) B_{Betelgeuse} = \displaystyle{\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2}} and B_{Sirius} = \displaystyle{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}} where L_{Sun} is the Sun luminosity (3.9 x 10^{26} W) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. ly is light years.

Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}{26L_{Sun}} \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} }

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 1.581 \cdot 10^{-5}\ ly. Then

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sun}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (1.581\cdot 10^{-5}\ ly)^2}{1\ L_{Sun}} \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.

Insulators will:
nalin [4]

Answer:

Inhibit the flow of electrons  

Explanation:

An electric current usually consists of electrons moving through a wire.

An insulator prevents the flow of an electric current, so it inhibits the flow of electrons.

Anika [276]
No, gravity acts equally on all objects.  The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size.  A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly.  In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.
