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

It takes 500 J of work to compress a spring 10 cm. What is the force constant of the spring? (b) When a 3.0 kg block is pushed a
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Energy stored in spring = 1/2 k x² = .5 x k 0.1²

500 = 5 x 10⁻³ k ,

k = (500/5) x 10³ = 10⁵ N/m

b )

k = 4.5 x 10¹ = 45 N/m

Stored energy = 1/2 k x² = .5 x 45 x 8² x 10⁻⁴ =1440 x 10⁻⁴ J

This energy gets dissipated by friction .

work done by friction = μ mg d

d is the distance traveled under friction

so 1440 x 10⁻⁴ = μ x 3 x 9.8 x 2

μ = 245 x 10⁻⁴  or 0.00245 which appears to be very small. .

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance? If we
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to ohm's law, the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current is that current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage over resistance.

Mathematically,           I = \frac{V}{R}

From this relationship we can see that when we decrease the voltage, and do not change the resistance, the current will also decrease. As current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

Suppose Joe, who can type 40 words per minute, takes 2.5 hours to type his report. To speed things up, his friend Mark offers to
Vika [28.1K]

Explanation:

When Joe works alone, the total number  of words he typed can be given by:

Total words = (40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hour) x (2.5 hours)

Total words = 6000 words

Now, when Joe and Mark work together, let 'y' be the number of hours for which they both work simultaneously:

Total words = Words Typed by Joe + Words Typed by Mark

6000 = {(40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)} + {(20 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)}

6000 = 2400y + 1200y = 3600y

y = 1.67 hours = 1 hour and 40 minutes

Thus, working together simultaneously, Joe and Mark will take 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete the report.
