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

A car starts from rest and after 20 seconds it's velocity becomes 108km find the acceleration of the car
andre [41]

Answer:

1.5 km/s²

Explanation:

Given that:

a car starts from rest; it means the initial velocity (u) = 0 km/hr = 0 m/s

after time (t) = 20 seconds

the final velocity = 108 km/hr = 30 m/s

The acceleration (a) of the car can be determined by using the formula:

a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

a = \dfrac{30\  m/s -0 \ m/s}{20 \ s}

a = \dfrac{30 \  m/s}{20 \ s}

a = 1.5 km/s²

What are the two ost important processes in the oxygen in and out of the atmospher
BaLLatris [955]
Decomposing - When plants and animals die, they decompose. This process uses up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Rusting - This is also called oxidation. When things rust they use up oxygen.

In a car moving at constant acceleration, you travel 230 m between the instants at which the speedometer reads 40 km/h and 70 km
Goryan [66]
The relationship between the distance covered, initial and final speeds, and time can be expressed through the equation,

First equation,

                    2ad = Vf² - Vi²

Substituting the known values,
                   2(a)(0.230 km) = (70 km/h)² - (40 km/h)²
The value of a from the equation is 7173.92 km/h².

Second equation,
                   d = (Vi)(t) + 0.5at²

Substituting the known values,
                    0.230 km = (40 km/h)(t) + (0.5)(7173.92 km/h²)(t²)

The value of t from the equation is 4.1818 x 10^-3 hours which is also equal to 0.2509 minutes or 15 seconds.

A ball is thrown straight up with enough speed so that it is in the air for several seconds. Assume the positive direction is up
Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) v= 0 m/s b) v= 6.86 m/s

Explanation:

a) When the ball reaches to its highest point, under the influence of gravity, before starting to fall down, it momentarily comes to an stop (this is needed prior to change direction in any movement), so, applying the definition of acceleration, and replacing the acceleration a by g, we have:

vf = v₀ - g*t (1)

The minus sign means that the acceleration due to gravity is always downward, so if we assume that the positive direction is upwards it must be negative.

At the highest point, vf= 0.

b) Prior to solve this point, we need to know which is the time when the ball reaches to its highest point.

As we know vf=0, we can solve (1) for t, as follows:

th = v₀/g

Now, for a time that is 0.7 s before this time, applying the acceleration definition and solving for v again, we have:

v = v₀ -(g *(th-0.7 s)), but th= v₀/g, so we get:

v= v₀ -g((v₀/g)-0.7 s) = v₀ - v₀ + g*0.7 s

⇒ v=g*0.7 s = 9.8 m/s²*0.7 s

⇒ v = 6.86 m/s
