A ball on the end of a string is whirled around in a horizontal circle of radius 0.478 m. The plane of the circle is 1.02 m abov

e the ground. The string breaks and the ball lands 2.5 m away from the point on the ground directly beneath the ball’s location when the string breaks. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the centripetal acceleration of the ball during its circular motion. Answer in units of m/s 2 .

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find first the velocity of ball at the time when string breaks. Let it be v . During its fall on the ground , 1.02 m below, we use the formula

h = 1/2 gt² where t is time of fall .

1.02 = 1/2 x 9.8 x t²

t²= .2081

t = .456

During this time it travels horizontally at distance of 2.5 m with uniform velocity of v

v x .456 = 2.5

v  = 5.48 m /s

centripetal acceleration

= v² / r where r is radius of the circular path

= 5.48² / .478

= 62.82 m /s²

kobusy [5.1K]
<span>b) The force with a distance of 150 km is 889 N c) The force with a distance of 50 km is 8000 N This question looks like a mixture of a question and a critique of a previous answer. I'll attempt to address the original question. Since the radius of the spherical objects isn't mentioned anywhere, I will assume that the distance from the center of each spherical object is what's being given. The gravitational force between two masses is given as F = (G M1 M2)/r^2 where F = Force G = gravitational constant M1 = Mass 1 M2 = Mass 2 r = distance between center of masses for the two masses. So with a r value of 100 km, we have a force of 2000 Newtons. If we change the distance to 150 km, that increases the distance by a factor of 1.5 and since the force varies with the inverse square, we get the original force divided by 2.25. And 2000 / 2.25 = 888.88888.... when rounded to 3 digits gives us 889. Looking at what looks like an answer of 890 in the question is explainable as someone rounding incorrectly to 2 significant digits. If the distance is changed to 50 km from the original 100 km, then you have half the distance (50/100 = 0.5) and the squaring will give you a new divisor of 0.25, and 2000 / 0.25 = 8000. So the force increases to 8000 Newtons.</span>

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 0.2 mm and the distance to the screen is 100 cm. What is the phas
Anni [7]

Answer:

The phase difference is  \Delta \phi  = 180^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The distance between the slits is d = 0.2 \ mm = \frac{0.2}{1000}  = 0.2 *10^{-3} \ m

     The distance to the screen is D = 100 cm = \frac{100}{100} = 1 \ m

      The wavelength is  \lambda = 400nm

 The distance of the wave from the  central maximum is L =  5mm = 5*10^{-3} m

   

Generally the path difference of this  waves is mathematically represented as

              y = d sin \theta

Here \theta is the angle between the the line connecting the mid-point of the slits with  the screen and the line  connecting the mid-point of the slits to the central maximum

  This implies that

              tan \theta  = \frac{L}{D}

     =>     \theta = tan ^{-1} \frac{L}{D}

             \theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{5*10^{-3}}{1}]

           \theta =0.2865

Substituting values into the formula for path difference

       y = 0.2 *10^{-3} sin(0.2864)  

       y = 9.997*10^{-7} \ m  

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

          \Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda }  * y

Substituting values        

         \Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{400 *10^{-9} }  \ * 9.997*10^{-7}

         \Delta \phi =5 \pi

Converting to degree

         \Delta \phi =5 \pi radians = 5 (180^o)  =  180^o  

the solution is subtracted by 360° in order to get the actual angle

The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 25 kcal/kg and its melting point is -114 o C. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liqu
UNO [17]

Answer:

=170kcal

Explanation:

We first calculate the amount of energy required to melt the alcohol using the formula: MLf, where Lf is the latent heat of fussion

We then calculate amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid alcohol to -14° C using MC∅.  We then add the two.

Thus ΔH=MLf+MC∅

ΔH=2kg×25kcal/kg+ 2kg×(0.6kcal/kg.K×(-14-⁻114)

=50kcal+120kcal

=170kcal
