You are at risk of serious injury if you sit less than 10 inches away from the steering wheel, because of the speed and force the airbag deploys at. This is also part of the reason why driving instructors now instruct you to hold the steering wheel from the lower parts, rather than the top, which can cause your thumbs to break if the air bag deploys.</span>

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.

Answer:

required distance is 233.35 m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Sound intensity I = 1.62 × 10⁻⁶ W/m²

distance r = 165 m

at what distance from the explosion is the sound intensity half this value?

we know that;

Sound intensity I is proportional to 1/(distance)²

i.e

I ∝ 1/r²

Now, let r² be the distance where sound intensity is half, i.e I₂ = I₁/2

Hence,

I₂/I₁ = r₁²/r₂²

1/2 = (165)²/ r₂²

r₂² = 2 × (165)²

r₂² = 2 × 27225

r₂² = 54450

r₂ = √54450

r₂ = 233.35 m

Therefore, required distance is 233.35 m

At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats faci
ozzi

Answer:

r=2.4m

Explanation:

We have to use the centripetal force  equation

Fc=\frac{mv^{2} }{r}

we  need the radious so we have to isolate "r" and we get

r=\frac{mv^{2} }{Fc}

replacing m=65 kg, v= 4.1 m/s and Fc=455N we get

r=\frac{65*4.1^{2} }{455}

r=2.4m

The radius of the amusement park chamber is 2.4m

a container of water is knocked off a 10.0 meter high ledge with a horizontal velocity of 1.00 meters/second. calculate the time
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.43 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by

S=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical speed

t is the time

a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

since u=0, it can be rewritten as

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10.0 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.43 s

The transfer of thermal energy is a major aspect of which branch of physics?
scZoUnD [109]
Mechanics is dealing with forces that are effecting some body, electrostatics is about electrical fields of not moving bodies, and quantum mechanics is dealing with quantum states of atoms. 

Thermodynamics as the word say, is dealing with thermal energy that is moving (transferring from one body to another or even better from one medium to another).

Answer is C <span />
