Answer:

The total energy in a closed system (a system that isolated from its surroundings) is always constant.

Explanation:

The law of conservation energy states that:

The total energy in a closed system (a system that isolated from its surroundings) is always constant.

What this law means is that energy can never be created or destroyed but can only be converted from one form to another form or example the conversion of energy from potential energy to kinetic energy which is seen by a falling object from a height.

A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

$T\ cos\theta-mg=0$

$T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}$

Sum of forces in x direction,

$T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$ .............(1)

Also, $r=l\ sin\theta$

Equation (1) becomes :

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}$

$v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}$ ...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}$

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}$

On solving above equation :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

22. A ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 12 m tall with a speed of 3.1 m/s.

zysi [14]

Answer:

a) t = 1.6 s

b) d = 4.9 m

c) v = 16 m/s

d) θ = 79°

Explanation:

time of fall

t = √(2h/g) = √(2(12)/9.8) = 1.5649... s

d = vt = 3.1(1.56) = 4.8512...

vertical velocity vy = at = 9.8(1.56) = 15.336... m/s

v = √(15.336² + 3.1²) = 15.6464... m/s

θ = arctan(15.336/3.1) = 78.5724...°
