A ball on the end of a string is whirled around in a horizontal circle of radius 0.300 m. The plane of the circle is 1.00 m abov

e the ground. The string breaks and the ball lands 1.60 m (horizontally) away from the point on the ground directly beneath the ball's location when the string breaks. Find the radial acceleration of the ball during its circular motion.

Answer:

radial acceleration is 41.8 m / s²

Explanation:

The acceleration for circular motion is

a = v² / r

They also give us the X and Y position where the body falls when the rope breaks, let's write the projectile launch equations

x = vox t

y = v₀ₓ t - ½ g t2

Since the circle is horizontally the v₀ₓ is zero (v₀ₓ = 0)

x = v₀ₓ t

t = x / v₀ₓ

y = - ½ g t²

Let's replace and calculate the initial velocity on the X axis

y = - ½ g (x / vox)²

v₀ₓ = √ (g x² / 2 y)

v₀ₓ = √ [- (-9.8) 1.6² / (2 1.00)]

v₀ₓ = 3.54 m / s

This is the horizontal velocity, but since it circle is in horizontal position it is also the velocity of the body at the point of rupture.

Now we can calculate the radial acceleration

a = v² / r

a = 3.54² / 0.300

a = 41.8 m / s²

Given three vectors A = 24i + 33j, B = 55i - 12j and C = 2i + 43j (a) Find the magnitude of each vector. (b) Write an expression

slega [8]

Answer:

(a) , . and .

(b) $\vec A - \vec C=22 \hat i -10 \hat j$ .

(c) $|\vec A - \vec B|=63.13$ and the direction $\theta =$ 124.56°.

Explanation:

Given that,

,

and

$\vec {C}=2 \hat i +43 \hat j$

(a) The magnitude of a vector is the square root of the sum of the square of all the components of the vector, i.e. for a ,.

So, the magnitude of the is

$|\vec A|=\sqrt {24^2+ 33^2}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec A|=\sqrt {1665}$

.

The magnitude of the is

$|\vec B|=\sqrt {55^2+ (-12)^2}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec B|=\sqrt {3169}$

.

And, the magnitude of the is

$|\vec C|=\sqrt {2^2+ 43^2}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec C|=\sqrt {1853}$

.

(b) The difference between the two vectors is the difference between the corresponding components of the vectors. So, the required expression of is

$\vec A - \vec C=(24 \hat i +33 \hat j) - (2 \hat i +43 \hat j)$

$\Rightarrow \vec A - \vec C=24 \hat i +33 \hat j - 2 \hat i -43 \hat j$

$\Rightarrow \vec A - \vec C=22 \hat i -10 \hat j$

(c) The expression of is

$\vec A - \vec N=(24 \hat i +33 \hat j) - (55 \hat i -12 \hat j)$

$\Rightarrow \vec A - \vec B=24 \hat i +33 \hat j - 55\hat i +12 \hat j$

$\Rightarrow \vec A - \vec B=-31 \hat i +45 \hat j\;\cdots (i)$

The magnitude of is

$|\vec A - \vec B|=\sqrt {(-31)^2+55^2}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec A - \vec B|=\sqrt {3986}$

$\Rightarrow |\vec A - \vec B|=63.13$

Now, if a vector $\vec V= -\alpha \hat i +\beta \hat j$ in 3rd quadrant having direction $\theta$ with respect to $\hat i$ direction, than

in the anti-clockwise direction.

Here, from equation (i), for the vector $\vec A - \vec C$ , $\alpha=31$ and $\beta=45$ .

$\Rightarrow \theta = \pi-\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac {45}{31}\right)$

180°-55.44° [as \pi radian= 180°]

124.56° in the anti-clockwise direction.

(d) Vector diagrams for $\vec A +\vec B$ and $\vec A - \vec B$ has been shown

in the figure(b) and figure(c) recpectively.

Vector $\vec A - \vec B$ is in 3rd quadrant as calculated in part (c).

While Vector $\vec A +\vec B=(24 \hat i +33 \hat j)+(55 \hat i -12 \hat j)$

$\Rightarrow \vec A +\vec B=79 \hat i +21 \hat j$ , which is in 1st quadrant as both the components are position has been shown in figure(b).

A student is standing 8 m from a roaring truck engine that is measured at 100 dB. The student moves 4 m closer to the engine. Wh

Evgen [1.6K]

The loudness or sound intensity of the roaring truck engine is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. it follows the law of squares that is
r1^2 / r2^2 = L2/L1
8^2 / 4^2 = L2 / 100 dB
L2 = 400 dB

The answer to this problem is 400 dB increased frim 100 dB.
