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. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How long does it take for the ball to rotate once around the axis?

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:

Speed changes at the rate of 24 m/s for each second over time.

Explanation:

We are told the object's acceleration is equal to 24 m/s²

Now we know that acceleration can also be defined as the rate of change of speed with time. Also speed has a unit known as m/s.

Thus, we can rephrase the acceleration in this question to mean;

Speed changes at the rate of 24 m/s for every second with time.

Based on the law of conservation of energy, how can we reasonably improve a machine’s ability to do work?
kifflom [539]
Based on the law of conservation of energy, we know that we can't create energy, machines can only convert one type of energy into another. So, if we want to improve a machines's ability then we need to reduce it's loss energy (part of energy which is useless). Out of all the options only Option C fits best with it.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
