Answer: The diameter of the circular path is 2.96m

Explanation: centripetal acceleration = tangential speed^2 / radius of the circular path.

Centripetal acceleration = 2.7m/s^2

Tangential speed = 2.0m/s

Radius = 2.0^2 / 2.7 = 4/2.7

= 1.48m

Diameter = radius*2

= 1.48*2 = 2.96m.

A brick of mass 1.15 kg is attached to a thin (massless) cable and whirled around in a circle in a vertical plane. The circle ha

stira [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the brick, m = 1.15 kg

Radius of the circle, r = 1.44 m

The cable will break if the tension exceeds 43.0 N

Let v is the maximum sped can have at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break. At the bottom of the circle, the net force is equal to the centripetal force along with the weight of the brick. So,

$T=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg$

$\dfrac{T}{m}-g=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{T}{m}-g)r}$

$v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{43}{1.15}-9.8)\times 1.44}$

v = 6.30 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the brick at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break is 6.3 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

How large a band of frequencies does each television broadcasting channel get ?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Since the waves must carry a great deal of visual as well as audio information, each channel requires a larger range of frequencies than simple radio transmission. TV channels utilize frequencies in the range of 54 to 88 MHz and 174 to 222 MHz. (The entire FM radio band lies between channels 88 MHz and 174 MHz.)
