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

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

8.75

Explanation:

First, find the force of friction.

Kinetic energy = work done by friction

½ mv² = Fd

½ (3.9 kg) (2.9 m/s)² = F (1.4 m)

F = 11.7 N

Next, find the distance at the new velocity.

Kinetic energy = work done by friction

½ mv² = Fd

½ (3.9 kg) (2.5 × 2.9 m/s)² = (11.7 N) d

d = 8.75 m

A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 360 cm2 is charged to a potential difference V and is then disconnected from the
Softa [21]

Answer:

Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Explanation:

We are given that a parallel- plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference V and then disconnected from the voltage source.

1 m =100 cm

Surface area =S=\frac{360}{10000}=0.036 m^2

\Delta d=0.8 cm=0.008 m

\Delta V=100 V

We have to find the charge Q on the positive plates of the capacitor.

V=Initial voltage between plates

d=Initial distance between plates

Initial Capacitance of capacitor

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{d}

Capacitance of capacitor after moving plates

C_1=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{(d+\Delta d)}

V=\frac{Q}{C}

Potential difference between plates after moving

V=\frac{Q}{C_1}

V+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{C_1}

\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}+100=\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0S}

\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0 S}-\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}=100

\frac{Q\Delta d}{\epsilon_0 S}=100

\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}

Q=\frac{100\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.036}{0.008}

Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Hence, the charge on positive plate of capacitor=Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of
spin [16.1K]

The  final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where :

U_i is the initial potential energy, at the top

K_i is the initial kinetic energy, at the top

U_f is the final potential energy, at the bottom

K_f is the final kinetic energy, at the bottom

By explicing the potential energy, we can rewrite the equation as:

mgh_i + K_i = mgh_f + K_f

where:

m = 0.5 kg is the mass of the apple

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 2 m is the initial height

h_f=1.50 m is the final height

The initial kinetic energy is zero, since the ball starts from rest:

K_i = 0

Therefore we can solve the equation for K_f, the final kinetic energy of the ball:

K_f = mg(h_i-h_f)=(0.5)(9.8)(2-1.50)=2.45 J

One difference between a solar flare and a CME is that a solar flare is composed of ___________, while a CME is composed of ____
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

magnetic energy (proton) and magnetic plasma.

Explanation:

  • The solar fare consists of bright light that occurs in various wavelengths and is observed at the surface.
  • They are not as strong as compared to the coronal mass ejection or CME. The solar fares consist of 10²² joules, while the plasma is ejected from the solar corona and can be clearly seen from a distance.
  • The Solar flares represent an atmospheric disturbance and plasms are the medium for the growth and development of solar flare and lead to solar activity.
