Answer:

minimum speed v=\sqrt({Fr}/m)}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for centripetal force;

Centripetal force is the force that is required to keep an object moving in circular part

     F=mv^{2} /r

where;

F=centripetal force

m=mass of object

r=radius of curvature

v= minimum speed

To find minimum speed make v the subject of formula;

   v=\sqrt({Fr}/m)}

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is:

A student with a mass of m rides a roller coaster with a loop with a radius of curvature of r. What is the minimum speed the rollercoaster can maintain and still make it all the way around the loop? g= 9.8m/s

r=5.5 m= 55kg

Answer: 7.3m/s

Explanation:

Centripetal force is the force acting on a body causing circular motion towards the center which allows to keep the body on track or right path. Any combination of forces in nature can cause centripetal acceleration in various systems.

Where:

V is the tangential velocity

W is the angular velocity

M is the Mass in kg

g is the gravitational force

r is the circular radius

Apply Newton's second law of motion.

The minimum speed is also known as the critical speed is the point where the tension, frictional or normal force is zero and the only thing keeping the object in circular motion is the force of gravity.

This is explained as follows:

N + mg = mw^2r

mg = mv^2/r

Therefore,the minimum speed is:

v^2 = gr

v = square root(gr)

= sqrt(9.8N/kg)(5.5m)

=(9.8N/kg)(5.5m) ^1/2

v = 7.3m/s

A transformer has a primary voltage of 115 V and a secondary voltage of 24 V. If the number of turns in the primary is 345, how
Nata [24]

Answer:

C. 72

Explanation:

Transformer: A transformer is an electromagnetic device that uses the property of mutual inductance to change the voltage of alternating supply.

In a ideal transformer,

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np ............................................. Equation 1

Where Vp = primary voltage, Vs = secondary voltage, Ns = Secondary turn, Np = primary turn.

Making Ns the subject of the equation,

Ns =(Vs/Vp)Np .......................................... Equation 2

Given: Vs = 24 V, Vp = 115 V, Np = 345.

Substitute into equation 2

Ns = (24/115)345

Ns = 72 turns.

Thus the number of turns in the secondary = 72 turns.

The right option is C. 72

A particular solid is electrically charged after it is rubbed, but it is not known whether its charge is positive or negative. H
pshichka [43]

Answer:

You can determine which charge has the solid by rubbing plastic and fur, and bringing near the plastic and the solid to determine if they are repeled or attracted. If they are repeled, the solid is charged negatively and if they are attracted, the solid is charged positively.

Explanation:

In order to determine the charge of the solid (negative or positive) using a piece of plastic and fur, you have to rubb the plastic with the fur (this is charging by friction)

Negative charges are transferred from the fur to the piece of plastic, therefore the plastic is charged negatively.

Then, you have to bring near the solid and the plastic. If them are repeled, it means that the solid is charged negatively (Because similar charges are repeled)

If them are attracted, it means that the solid is charged positively (Because opposite charges are attracted)

If you precisely measure the position of a particle, you
pochemuha
<h2>Answer: destroy all information about its speed or momentum</h2>

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle postulates that the fact that <u>each particle has a wave associated with it</u>, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine its <u>position</u> and <u>speed</u> at the same time.  

In other words:  

<h2>It is impossible to measure <u>simultaneously </u>(according to quantum physics), and with absolute precision, the value of the position and the momentum (linear momentum) of a particle.  </h2>

So, the greater certainty is seeked in determining the position of a particle, the less is known its linear momentum and, therefore, its mass and velocity.  

It should be noted that this uncertainty does not derive from the measurement instruments, but from the measurement itself. Because, even with the most precise devices, the uncertainty in the measurement continues to exist.  

Thus, in general, the greater the precision in the measurement of one of these magnitudes, the greater the uncertainty in the measure of the other complementary variable.
