Suppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (ev

en at the top of the circle!). If your arm is 0.65 m long (from shoulder to fist) and the distance from the handle to the surface of the water is 19.0 cm, what minimum speed is required?

Answer:

V = 2.87 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.

Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:

Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r

where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.

For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m

and solving the above equation we get:

9.81 = V^2 / 0.84

V^2 = 8.2404

V = 2.87 m/s

Car A (1750 kg) is travelling due south and car B (1450 kg) is travelling due east. They reach the same intersection at the same
Contact [7]

Consider the east-west direction along x-axis and north-south direction along y-axis. In unit vector notation, velocities can be given as

\underset{V_{A}}{\rightarrow} = velocity of car A before collision = 0 i - V_{A} j

\underset{V_{B}}{\rightarrow} = velocity of car B before collision = V_{B} i + 0 j

\underset{V_{AB}}{\rightarrow} = velocity of combination after collision = (35.8 Cos31.6) i - (35.8 Sin31.6) j = 30.5 i - 18.8 j

M_{A} = mass of car A = 1750 kg

M_{B} = mass of car B = 1450 kg

Using conservation of momentum

M_{A}  \underset{V_{A}}{\rightarrow} + M_{B}  \underset{V_{B}}{\rightarrow} = (M_{A} + M_{B}) ( \underset{V_{AB}}{\rightarrow} )

(1750) (0 i - V_{A} j) + (1450) (V_{B} i + 0 j) = (1750 + 1450) (30.5 i - 18.8 j)

(1450) V_{B} i - (1750) V_{A} j = 97600 i - 60160 j

Comparing the coefficient of "i" and "j" both side

(1450) V_{B} = 97600    and - (1750) V_{A} = - 60160

V_{B} = 67.3 km/h        and  V_{A} = 34.4 km/

A student lefts a bouncy ball to 1.2m, then releases the ball. The ball bounces back up to 0.86m. Construct an explanation as to
Airida [17]

Answer:

the decrease in energy is due to a transformational in internal energy of the body in the rebound.

Explanation:

For this exercise we can calculate the initial and final mechanical energy

        Em₀ = U = m g y₁

        Em_{f} = U = m g y₂

we look for the variation of the energy

       ΔEm = Em_{f} - Em₀

       ΔEm = m g (y_{f} -y₀)

       ΔEm = m g (0.86 -1.2)

       ΔEm = -3.332 m

We can see that there is a decrease in mechanical energy, this is transformed into internal energy of the ball during the impact with the ground, this energy can be formed by several factors such as a part of the friction with the surface, an increase in body temperature or a deformation of the body; there may be a contribution from several of these factors.

In conclusion the decrease in energy is due to a transformational in internal energy of the body in the rebound.

The potential energy of a 25 kg bicycle resting at the top of a 3 m high hill is _______ J
frozen [14]
The potential energy:
E p = m · g · h
m = 25 kg,  g = 9.81 m/s²,  h = 3 m
E p = 25 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 3 m = 735.75 J

What is the focal length of the eye-lens system when viewing an object at infinity? Assume that the lens-retina distance is 2.0
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Focal length of the eye-lens is 2.0 cm

Explanation:

Given:

An eye-lens system which will follow converging lens (convex lens) sign conventions and knowing that lens-retina distance is the image distance.

Object distance, u = -\infty

Image distance, v = 2.0 cm

We have to find the focal length.

Lets say that the focal length is f .

Lens Formula:

⇒ \frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{-u} +\frac{1}{v}

Sign-convention:

We will follow the Cartesian coordinate,placing the lens at the origin of the plane, optical center is at (0,0) now as the object will be towards negative x-axis so it is negative others are on the right side of the origin so they are positive.

Using the lens formula:

⇒ \frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{-u} +\frac{1}{v}

⇒ \frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{-\infty} +\frac{1}{2.0}      

⇒ \frac{1}{f} =0+\frac{1}{2.0}         <em>...as </em> \frac{1}{\infty}=0 a<em>nd there is no </em>-0<em> so it is zero only.</em>

⇒ f=2.0 cm

So the focal length is 2.0 cm with two significant figures.
