What is the force on a 15.5 kg ball that is falling freely due to the pull of gravity

Physics
1 answer:
velikii [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

151.9 N

Explanation:

Force = mass x acceleration

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 (you should memorize this number).

F = ma

F = (15.5)(9.8)

F = 151.9

Thick rubber gloves prevent electric shock because​
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Rubber is an insulator.

Explanation:

Rubber is an insulator. Electricity will always travel "the path of least resistance." Rubber has a very high resistance, so electricity will go somewhere else to find ground.

One end of a thin rod is attached to a pivot, about which it can rotate without friction. Air resistance is absent. The rod has
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

6.86 m/s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by doing the total energy balance, i.e:

initial (KE + PE)  = final (KE + PE). { KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy}

Since the rod comes to a halt at the topmost position, the KE final is 0. Therefore, all the KE initial is changed to PE, i.e, ΔKE = ΔPE.

Now, at the initial position (the rod hanging vertically down), the bottom-most end is given a velocity of v0. The initial angular velocity(ω) of the rod is given by ω = v/r , where v is the velocity of a particle on the rod and r is the distance of this particle from the axis.

Now, taking v = v0 and r = length of the rod(L), we get ω = v0/ 0.8 rad/s

The rotational KE of the rod is given by KE = 0.5Iω², where I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis of rotation and this is given by I = 1/3mL², where L is the length of the rod. Therefore, KE = 1/2ω²1/3mL² = 1/6ω²mL². Also, ω = v0/L, hence KE = 1/6m(v0)²

This KE is equal to the change in PE of the rod. Since the rod is uniform, the center of mass of the rod is at its center and is therefore at a distane of L/2 from the axis of rotation in the downward direction and at the final position, it is at a distance of L/2 in the upward direction. Hence ΔPE = mgL/2 + mgL/2 = mgL. (g = 9.8 m/s²)

Now, 1/6m(v0)² = mgL ⇒ v0 = \sqrt{6gL}

Hence, v0 = 6.86 m/s

You have an incident ray from a medium with a n1=1, through a medium with a n2 =3.325. If the incident angle is equal to 0.478 r
sesenic [268]

Answer:

0.139 rad

Explanation:

We use Snell's law n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2, where if n_1 is the <em>refractive index</em> of the medium containing the <em>incident ray</em>, \theta_1 would be the <em>incident angle</em>, and if n_2 is the <em>refractive index</em> of the medium containing the <em>refracted ray</em>, \theta_2 would be the <em>refraction angle</em>, which we want, so we do:

sin\theta_2=\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1

And finally:

\theta_2=arcsin(\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1)

We then insert our values:

\theta_2=arcsin(\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1)=Arcsin(\frac{1}{3.325}sin(0.478rad))=arcsin(0.13834714686&#10;)=0.139 rad

20. A semiconductor is a
Stells [14]

Answer:

D. crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions

Explanation:

Semiconductors are crystalline solids that has the ability to conduct electrical currents but on certain conditions e.g heat. The conduction of semiconductors is less than that of conductors (metals) but more than insulators (nonmetals), hence, they are said to be intermediates of conductors and insulators in terms of electrical conductivity.

Examples of semiconductors are silicon, boron, carbon, germanium, arsenic etc.
