A ball is attached to the end of a massless string. A circus clown twirls the string with a pulling force of 12 N, and the ball

travels in a horizontal circle of radius 87 cm. The ball completes one revolution every 1.4 seconds. What is the mass of the ball?

Answer: 0.68 kg

Explanation:

The ball in this example moves by uniform circular motion. In a uniform circular motion, an object of mass m moves in a circular orbit of radius r, with constant tangential speed v. This type of motion is produced by a force F (called centripetal force) that "pushes" the object towards the centre of the circular path. The magnitude of this force is given by

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

The formula can also be rewritten as

F=m\omega^2 r

where \omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T} the angular frequency, and T is the period of revolution.

In this problem, we have the following data:

- centripetal force: F = 12 N

- radius: r = 87 cm = 0.87 m

- period of revolution: T = 1.4 s

Using the last formula, we can find the angular frequency:

\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{1.4 s}=4.49 rad/s

And now we can substitute \omega inside the formula of the centripetal force, and by re-arranging it we can find the mass of the ball:

m=\frac{F}{\omega^2 r}=\frac{12 N}{(4.49 rad/s)^2 (0.87 m)}=0.68 kg

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS :) What does it mean when white light is diffracted and at a particular location the color seen is bl
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

This is because white light consists of 7 colours with different angles o deviation or retraction.

Explanation:

When a narrow beam of light is refracted by a prism the light spreads into a band of colours (called the spectrum of light )

But in this case if a blue colour is observed it is due to the angle of refraction ,for instance red is refracted the least and hence is seen

If a 100-N net force acts on a 50-kg car, what will the acceleration of the car be?
Tema [17]
Newton's 2nd law of motion: 

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (mass):     

                             Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

                                               =  (100 N) / (50 kg)

                                               =  2 m/s²

What is the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke?
balu736 [363]
I believe the answer is D, Heat exhaustion involves a lack of sweating, while heat stroke involves extreme sweating. Also just to add the on if heat exhaustion is left untreated then it could turn into a heat stroke.
