A 0.25-kg ball attached to a string is rotating in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m. If the ball revolves twice every second,

what is the tension in the string?

Answer:

19.74 N

Explanation:

mass of ball (m) = 0.25 kg

radius (r) = 0.5 m

time (t) = 2 revolutions per seconds = 1/2 = 0.5 second per revolution

find the tension in the string

tension (T) = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

where velocity (v) = $\frac{2πr}{t}$

tension now becomes (T) = $\frac{m}{r} x (\frac{2πr}{t})^{2}$

tension (T) = $\frac{4π^{2}rm }{t^{2} }$

now substituting the values of mass (m), time (t) and radius (r) into the equation above we have

tension (T) = $\frac{4π^{2}x0.5x0.25}{0.5^{2} }$

tension (T) = $2π^{2}$ = $2x3.142^{2}$ = 19.74 N

Which liquid will evaporate the fastest water salt water pepsi and gatorade?

MArishka [77]

The liquid that will evaporate the quickest would be water.
<em>~The rest are mixtures, and have more ingrediants in them, therefore the answer should be water. (in which it has no other ingrediants in it but water itself)</em>

A capacitor with initial charge q0 is discharged through a resistor. a) In terms of the time constant τ, how long is required fo

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{8}{9} \, q_0$ .

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Note that $\ln 9 = 2\,\ln 3$ , and that $\ln 8 = 3\, \ln 2$ .

Explanation:

In an RC circuit, a capacitor is connected directly to a resistor. Let the time constant of this circuit is $\tau$ , and the initial charge of the capacitor be $q_0$ . Then at time $t$ , the charge stored in the capacitor would be:

$\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ .

<h3>a)</h3>

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{8}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{8}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{8}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{8}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 8 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 8 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ .

<h3>b)</h3>

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{7}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{7}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 7 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 7 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ .

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above t

Cloud [144]

Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

$W = U_f - U_i$

we know that

$U_f = -\frac{GMm}{6r}$

$U_i = -\frac{GMm}{r}$

now from above formula

$W = -\frac{GMm}{6r} + \frac{GMm}{r}$

$W = \frac{5GMm}{6r}$

so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude
