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

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

OPTION A, Kelvin Thermometer is Incorrect

Explanation:

Now, if you consider best two out of three results, then celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers read the same value, meaning both are right.

1) K = °C + 273

K = 100°C + 273

k = 373°C

Kelvin Thermometer is Incorrect

2) C = \frac{F - 32}{1.8}

when we have 212°F

C = \frac{212 - 32}{1.8} \\\\= 100^\circ C

which is correct

A plane traveled west for 4.0 hours and covered a distance of 4,400 kilometers. What was its velocity? 18,000 km/hr
olga55 [171]

Velocity is the same as the formula for speed, the only difference is velocity has direction. Velocity is distance over time. Given is 4,400 kilometers travelled west in 4 hours. Applying the given equation, we wil have 4,400/4 = 1,100 km/hr west

natita [175]

Answer:

Final temperature, T2 = 314.9 Kelvin

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Mass = 0.9kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 10°C to Kelvin = 10 + 273 = 283K

Quantity of heat = 120,000 J

Specific heat capacity = 4182 j/kgK

To find the final temperature;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Making dt the subject of formula, we have;

dt = \frac {Q}{mc}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

dt = \frac {120000}{0.9*4182}

dt = \frac {120000}{3763.8}

dt = 31.9K

Now, the final temperature T2 is;

But, dt = T2 - T1

T2 = dt + T1

T2 = 31.9 + 283

T2 = 314.9 Kelvin
