A ball with a mass of 3.1 kg is moving in a uniform circular motion upon a horizontal surface. The ball is attached at the cente

inessss [21]

Answer:

3.46 seconds

Explanation:

Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.

The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -

$F=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where, $m$ is the mass of the ball, $v$ is the speed and $r$ is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.

This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

$20.4 = \frac{3.1\times v^2}{2}$

and, $v^2 = 13.16$

Thus, $v = 3.63$ m/s.

Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle

Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = $\frac{\text {Path length} }{\text {Speed}}$ = $\frac{12.56}{3.63}$ = 3.46 seconds.

Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.

The moon has a diameter of 3.48 x 106 m and is a distance of 3.85 x 108 m from the earth. The sun has a diameter of 1.39 x 109 m

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.00903 rad

0.00926 rad

6.268\times 10^{-6}

Explanation:

s = Diameter of the object

r = Distance between the Earth and the object

Angle subtended is given by

$\theta=\frac{s}{r}$

For the Moon

$\theta_m=\dfrac{3.48\times 10^6}{3.85\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \theta_m=0.00903\ rad$

The angle subtended by the Moon is 0.00903 rad

For the Sun

$\theta_s=\dfrac{1.39\times 10^9}{1.5\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow \theta_s=0.00926\ rad$

The angle subtended by the Sun is 0.00926 rad

Area ratio is given by

$\frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{\pi r_m^2}{\pi r_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{d_m^2}{d_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{(3.48\times 10^{6})^2}{(1.39\times 10^9)^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=6.268\times 10^{-6}$

The area ratio is $6.268\times 10^{-6}$
