A small lead ball, attached to a 1.10-m rope, is being whirled in a circle that lies in the vertical plane. The ball is whirled
hjlf

Answer:

1.84 m

Explanation:

For the small lead ball to be balanced at the tip of the vertical circle just before it is released, the reaction force , N equal the weight of the lead ball W + the centripetal force, F. This normal reaction ,N also equals the tension T in the string.

So, T = mg + mrω² = ma where m = mass of small lead ball, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², r = length of rope = 1.10 m and ω = angular speed of lead ball = 3 rev/s = 3 × 2π rad/s = 6π rad/s = 18.85 rad/s and a = acceleration of normal force. So,

a = g + rω²

= 9.8 m/s² + 1.10 m × (18.85 rad/s)²

= 9.8 m/s² + 390.85 m/s²

= 400.65 m/s²

Now, using v² = u² + 2a(h₂ - h₁)  where u = initial velocity of ball = rω = 1.10 m × 18.85 rad/s = 20.74 m/s, v = final velocity of ball at maximum height = 0 m/s (since the ball is stationary at maximum height), a = acceleration of small lead ball = -400.65 m/s² (negative since it is in the downward direction of the tension), h₁ = initial position of lead ball above the ground = 1.3 m and h₂ = final position of lead ball above the ground = unknown.

v² = u² + 2a(h₂ - h₁)

So, v² - u² = 2a(h₂ - h₁)

h₂ - h₁ =  (v² - u²)/2a

h₂ =  h₁ + (v² - u²)/2a

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h₂ =  1.3 m + ((0 m/s)² - (20.74 m/s)²)/2(-400.65 m/s²)

h₂ =  1.3 m + [-430.15 (m/s)²]/-801.3 m/s²

h₂ =  1.3 m + 0.54 m

h₂ =  1.84 m

if the speed of sound is 34,500 cm/s and a note has a frequency of 256 hz, what is the wavelength in meters
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Wavelength of sound in meters = 1.348 m

Explanation:

Given

speed of sound = 34500 cms^{-1} = 345 ms^{-1} (since 1 cm = 0.01m)

frequency of sound = 256 Hz = 256s^{-1}

Wavelength of sound in meters = ?

We know that all waves have same relationship among speed s, frequency f and wavelength λ, which is given by the equation

            v = fλ

Wavelength λ = v/f

                       = 345 ms^{-1} / 256s^{-1}

                       =1.348 m

Hence wavelength of sound in meters = 1.348 m

20. How does a paraxylene crystallizer operate?
vovikov84 [41]

In the CrystPX Technology process, suspension crystallization of paraxylene (PX) in the xylene isomer mixture is used to produce paraxylene crystals.  At the back end of the process, high paraxylene recovery is obtained by operating the crystallizers at colder temperatures.
