Ciara is swinging a 0.015 kg ball tied to a string around her head in a flat, horizontal circle. The radius of the circle is 0.5

0 m. It takes the ball 0.70 seconds to complete one full circle. Calculate the tension in the string and its direction that provides the centripetal force acting on the ball to keep it in the circular path.

Answer:

0.60 N, towards the centre of the circle

Explanation:

The tension in the string acts as centripetal force to keep the ball in uniform circular motion. So we can write:

T=m\omega^2 r (1)

where

T is the tension

m = 0.015 kg is the mass of the ball

\omega is the angular speed

r = 0.50 m is the radius of the circle

We know that the period of the ball is T = 0.70 s, so we can find the angular speed:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.70 s}=8.98 rad/s

And by substituting into (1), we find the tension in the string:

T=(0.015 kg)(8.98 rad/s)^2(0.50 m)=0.60 N

And in an uniform circular motion, the centripetal force always points towards the centre of the circle, so in this case the tension points towards the centre of the circle.

A stream of warm water is produced in a steady-flow mixing process by combining 1.0 kg/s of cool water at 25 °C with 0.8 kg/s of
Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      m_{1} = 0.8 kg/s = 800 g,      C_{1} = 4.18 J/g^{o}C

     m_{2} = 1 kg = 1000 g,   T_{1} = (75 - T),

     T_{2} = T - 25

Now, according to the law of conservation of energy,

         m_{1}C_{1}T_{1} = m_{2}C_{2}T_{2} + mL

     800 \times 4.18 \times (75 - T) = 1000 \times 4.18 \times (T - 25) + 30000

      250.8 - 3.34T = 4.18T - 104.5 + 30

          T = \frac{325.3}{7.52}

              = 43.23^{o}C

Thus, we can conclude that temperature of the warm water stream is 43.23^{o}C.

No friction present means: Ek = Ep

So Ek = mgh = 10 * 9.8 * 2 = 196 J

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is
IgorLugansk [536]
At rest because if the distance is not changing, then it is not moving any further, so it must not be moving! The time keeps going no matter what, so the distance, whether it is 0 m or 10,000 km, if the y is horizontal the distance does not change.
