A 0.300 kg potato is tied to a string with length 2.30 m , and the other end of the string is tied to a rigid support. The potat

o is held straight out horizontally from the point of support, with the string pulled taut, and is then released.
Part A) What is the speed of the potato at the lowest point of its motion? let g be = 9.80 m/s^2
Part B) What is the tension on the string at this point?

Answer:

The speed of the potato at the lowest point is 6.714 m/s

The tension in the string is 8.82 N

Explanation:

We will use law of conservation of energy to find out the velocity

When the potato is at 2.30 m height, it will have potential energy and when  the potato released it will go lowest point and it's potential energy will be convert into kinetic energy.

                       Potential energy = Kinetic energy

                                  m×g×h      = (1/2) m×v²

m stands  for mass

g stands for gravitational constant

h stands for height

v stands for velocity

                      m×g×h      = (1/2) m×v²

                      0.3×9.8×2.3 = (1/2) .3×v²

                       v² = 45.08

                       v  = 6.714 m/s

The speed of the potato at lowest point is 6.714 m/s

Part B

 The potato is in uniform circular motion so the acceleration is given by

                          a = v² / r

a stands for centripetal acceleration

According to Newton second law the acceleration  is  directly proportional to applied force and inversely proportional to the mass of object

     So                     ∑ F = m × a

Two forces act on potato 1. weight due to gravitation in downward direction 2. tension in upward direction So the above equation become

                     Tension force - Force due to weight = m×a

                     T-m×g     = m×a

           centripetal acceleration formula =v²/r    ,   r = l = length of the string

                        T  = m ×(v²/l) + m×g

  v = 6.714 m/s ,  l = 2.30 m ,   m = .3 kg Now put values in above equation

                         T = .3 × (6.714²/2.30) + .3 × 9.8

                        T  = .3 ( 45.08/2.30) + 2.94

                        T  = .3 (19.6) +2.94

                        T  = 5.88 + 2.94

                        T  = 8.82 N

          The tension in the string is 8.82 N

Any two application of gravity
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Well the definition of an application is the act of putting to a special use or purpose so lam assuming that you want specific uses that scientists make of gravity in their work.

Well our first application has helped us to send satellites around the solar system with what Nasa calls gravity assist. Using a particular planets gravity to slingshot a satellite to another destination. Look it up.

The next application much simpler but here on Earth. There are many hydro-electric power stations in use all over the world. Water is stored at a high level and released falling 100s of metres to a turbine where it generates electricity.

Hope that helps.

Two astronauts, each having a mass of 74.3 kg are connected by a 13.1 m rope of negligible mass. They are isolated in space, orb
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

  L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of a particle is given by

         L = r xp

         L = r m v sin θ

the bold are vectors, where the angle is between the position vector and the velocity, in this case it is 90º therefore the sine is 1

as we have two bodies

       L = 2 r m v

let's find the distance from the center of mass, let's place a reference frame on one of the masses

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{M} \sum  x_{i} m_{i}i

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{m+m} ( 0 + l m)

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{2m}  lm

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{2}

        x_{cm} = 13.1 / 2 = 6.05 m

let's calculate

          L = 2  6.05  74.3  5.65

          L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

Why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator
svp [43]
<h2>Question</h2>

why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator

<h2>✒ Answer</h2>

the cold air produced from it is denser than the warmer air in the bottom

<h3>Explaination</h3>

Freezer is normally provided at the top of the refrigerator, because density of the cold air is high compared to the hot air. In a refrigerator the air contacts with the cooling coil and gets cooling.Because of the high density the cold air gets down and the warm air/hot air moves upward and gets cooling from the cooling coil/evaporator coil. This process is repeated. If the Freezer is provided at the bottom place of the refrigerator, the cold air can't to move full area of the refrigerator. So the freezer is normally provided at the top at the refrigerator

The drawing shows 6 point charges arranged in a rectangle. The value of q is 2.83 uC and the distance d is 0.123 m. Find the tot
vova2212 [387]

the total electric potential at location P, which is at the center of the rectangle is 0V.

The charges placed at the corner of the rectangle are same in magnitude but different in charge. hence the total electric potential will be same in  magnitude but different in charge and will be cancelled. Similarly, all the total electric potential will be cancelled and resultant will be zero.

<h3>What is total electric potential?</h3>
  • The amount of labor required to convey a unit of electric charge from a reference point to a given place in an electric field is known as the electric potential (also known as the electric field potential, potential drop, or the electrostatic potential).
  • More specifically, it is the energy per unit charge for a test charge that is negligibly disruptive to the field under discussion. In order to prevent the test charge from gaining kinetic energy or radiating, the travel across the field is also meant to occur with very little acceleration.
  • The electric potential at the reference location is, by definition, zero units. Any point may be used as the reference point, but typically it is earth or a point at infinity.

A television of mass 12 kg sits on a table. The coefficient of static friction between the table and the television is 0.83. Wha
Zinaida [17]
The normal reaction between the television and the table is
N = 12 × 9.8 m/s² = 117.6 Newtons

But the static coefficient of friction is μ = 0.83

When the television is about to slide on the table, the applied force should overcome the force due to static friction;
Thus; the applied force should be at least 
F = μN
  = 0.83 × 117.6 N
  = 97.608 Newtons
Therefore; the minimum applied force will be 97.6 Newtons.
