A ball attached to a string is whirled around in a horizontal circle having a radius R. If the radius of the circle is changed t

o 4R and the same centripetal force is applied by the string, the new speed of the ball is which of the following?

Answer:

twice the original speed

Explanation:

the centripetal force is the force of an object moving in a circle of turning and it is given by the expression

F=\frac{mv^{2} }{r}

where f = force of the object

          m = mass

         v = velocity

         r = radius of the circle

first we need to know what the orignal speed will be then we can tell what will happen if the radius of the circle is changed to 4R.

from the expression for the centripetal force, we need to make the velocity subject of the formula

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\cross multiplying\\Fr =mv^{2} \\dividing both sides by m\\\frac{Fr}{m}=v^{2}   \\taking the square root of both sides\\v=\sqrt{\frac{Fr}{m} }

now, if the radius is changed to 4R

in the expression for v above i will need to just insert 4R in place of r

v=\sqrt{\frac{4rF}{m} } \\

the square root of 4 is 2,

therefore

v=2\sqrt{\frac{rF}{m} }

we can see that this is just twice of what the original speed was.

A box is being pulled to the right over a rough surface. t > fk , so the box is speeding up. Suddenly the rope breaks. What h
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a. keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.

Explanation:

Since the tension in the rope, t is greater than the kinetic friction fk, the box is moving forward because there is a net force on it. That is, t - fk = f = ma.

Since there is a net force, there is an acceleration and thus an increasing velocity.

When the rope breaks, the tension, t = 0. So, t - fk = 0 - fk = -fk = ma'.

Now, the net force acting on the box is friction in the opposite direction. This force tends to slow the box down from its initial velocity at acceleration, 'a' until its velocity is zero, where it stops. Since the frictional force is constant, the acceleration, a' on the box is thus constant and the box undergoes uniform deceleration until its velocity is zero.

<u>So, the box keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.</u>

So, the answer is a.

2. An optical fibre is 1200km long and it takes light 0.006s to travel from one end to the other. Calculate the speed of light i
natita [175]
The average speed <em>appears to be</em> (distance) / (time) =

(length of the cable) / (time from when a pulse goes in until it comes out the other end) .

That's  1,200,000 meters/ 0.006 second  =  2 x 10^8 = <em>2 hundred million m/sec</em>

That figure is about 66.7% of the speed of light in vacuum.

The reason I went through all of this detail was to point out that this is
NOT necessarily the speed of light in this glass, for two reasons.

1).  The path of light through an optical fiber is not straight down the middle.  In the original fibers of 20 or 30 years ago, the light bounced back and forth off the inside walls of the fiber, and zig-zagged its way along the length.  In current modern fibers, it still zig-zags, but it's a more gentle, up-and-down curved path.  In either case, the distance covered by the light inside the fiber is more than the straight length of the cable, and the time it takes it to come out the other end is more than its actual speed inside the glass would have meant if it could have traveled straight through the pipe.

2).  This problem talks about an optical fiber that's 1,200km long.  There is loss in optical fiber, and you're NOT going to get light all the way through a single piece of it that's something like 745 miles long.  It takes electronic repeaters, "boosters", and regenerators every few miles to keep it going, and these devices add "latency" or time delay in the process of going through them.  That delay in the electronics shows up as apparent delay through the fiber-optic cable, and it makes the speed through the glass appear to be slower than it actually is.

How many neutrons does element x have if it’s atomic number is 40 and it’s mass number is 82?
Black_prince [1.1K]
The atomic number gives you the number of protons element x has. Since the mass of protons and neutrons are almost similar(around 1 amu), the mass number can be thought of as the sum of protons and neutrons. so if element x whose atomic number is 40 has a mass number of 82, then we know that 42 of those must be neutrons.

Find the radius of the path described by a proton moving at 15 km/s in a plane perpendicular to a 400-g magnetic field.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The radius described the proton moving is

r=3.91mm

Explanation:

The magnetic field that moving the proton with the velocity

v=15 km/s

To find the radius combinate the magnetic field with the mass of the proton and the charge of the proton

r = mv=eB

r = mv/eB

r=\frac{(1.67*10^{-27})*(15\frac{km}{s})}{(1.6*10^{-19})(4*10^-2kg)}

r = 3.9mm
