A) 2.33 m

B) 0.720 m

C) 1.78 m

Answer:

d) 1.44m

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

\sum F=m.a\\

analyzing the horizontal components of the force:

\sum F_x=mg*sin(\theta)-\µ*m.g*cos(\theta)\\\sum F_x=m*9.8*(sin(16^o)-0.420*cos(16^o))\\\sum F_x=-1.25m

applying the second law

-1.25m=m.a\\a=-1.25m/s^2

given the acceleration we can calculate the distances traveled before stopping:

(v_f)^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta x\\0=(1.90m/s)^2-2(1.25)*\Delta x\\\Delta x=1.44m

A tennis ball connected to a string is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.15
Oksanka [162]

1) 5.5 N

When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, the equation of the forces is the following:

T-mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

where

T is the tension in the string, which points upward

mg is the weight of the string, which points downward, with

m = 0.158 kg being the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 being the acceleration due to gravity

m \frac{v^2}{R} is the centripetal force, which points upward, with

v = 5.22 m/s being the speed of the ball

R = 1.1 m being the radius of the circular trajectory

Substituting numbers and re-arranging the formula, we find T:

T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{R}=(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)+(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=5.5 N

2) 3.9 N

When the ball is at the side of the circle, the only force acting along the centripetal direction is the tension in the string, therefore the equation of the forces becomes:

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And by substituting the numerical values, we find

T=(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=3.9 N

3) 2.3 N

When the ball is at the top of the circle, both the tension and the weight of the ball point downward, in the same direction of the centripetal force. Therefore, the equation of the force is

T+mg=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And substituting the numerical values and re-arranging it, we find

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(0.158 kg)\frac{5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}-(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2.3 N

4) 3.3 m/s

The minimum velocity for the ball to keep the circular motion occurs when the centripetal force is equal to the weight of the ball, and the tension in the string is zero; therefore:

T=0\\mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

and re-arranging the equation, we find

v=\sqrt{gR}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(1.1 m)}=3.3 m/s

Suppose an automobile has 2000-joules of kinetic energy. when it moves at twice the speed, what will be its kinetic energy? what
NeX [460]

Answer:

K.Eₓ = 4 K.E

K.Eₓ = 9 K.E

Explanation:

Th formula for the kinetic energy of a body is given as follows:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\   ---------------equation (1)

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy of Automobile

m = mass of automobile

v = speed of automobile

For twice speed:

vₓ = 2v

then,

K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{x}^2\\K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2\\K.E_{x} = 4\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\

using equation (1):

<u>K.Eₓ = 4 K.E</u>

For thrice speed:

vₓ = 3v

then,

K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{x}^2\\K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}m(3v)^2\\K.E_{x} = 9\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\

using equation (1):

<u>K.Eₓ = 9 K.E</u>
