A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right

so that it slides along the surface. Let R = 1.45 ft and let the angle at which the sphere separates from the cylinder be θs = 34°. The sphere was placed in motion at the very top of the cylinder. Determine the sphare;s initial speed.

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

             g: Gravitational Acceleration

             θ: Angle with the vertical

             N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

                         g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R    

                         vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

                         vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

                        vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

                          ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                          0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

                          ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 =  vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

                          vi^2 = 22.744

                           vi = 4.77 ft/s

Please help! The image produced by a concave mirror is ? .
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

is a reflection.

The image is real light rays actually focus at the image location). As the object moves towards the mirror the image location moves further away from the mirror and the image size grows (but the image is still inverted). When the object is that the focal point, the image is at infinity.

What demonstrates the flow of energy and materials through
Tcecarenko [31]
A. Food chain

A food web also shows the flow of energy and materials through an ecosystem but in a complex web, not a single chain. A biogeochemical cycle does not deal with the flow of energy/materials through an ecosystem at all.

Josh is designing a lab to separate a mixture of salt and water. He looks at all the ways to separate a mixture but decides that
dalvyx [7]

The best method to separates mixture of salt and water is evaporation. Take a small sample of mixture in a china dish. Heat it till all water evaporate. The residual remain is salt. Josh should use this method to separate salt from water.

In a nuclear reactor 1 g of mass is converted into energy. How much energy in Joules is produced?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

3 x 10^5  J

Explanation:

mass of substance, m = 1 g = 0.001 kg

Velocity of light, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

According to the Einstein mass energy equivalence, the energy associated with the mass is given by

E = m c^2

E = 0.001 x 3 x 10^8

E = 3 x 10^5  J

Plz answer this! I am stumped
Gwar [14]
MgCl2
Mg = magnesium
Cl = chlorine

Magnesium + chlorine = magnesium chloride.

This is because compounds are always written with the METAL FIRST and the NON METAL SECOND. the non metal ends in - ide when it reacts with a metal.

So ur answer would be magnesium chloride. :)
