A 55.6 kg ice skater is moving at 1.73 m/s when she grabs the loose end of a rope, the opposite end of which is tied to a pole.

She then moves in a circle of radius 0.608 m around the pole. Find the force exerted by the rope on her arms. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of kN.

Answer:

The force exerted by the rope on her arms is 273.7 N = 0.274 kN

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the ice skater = 55.6 kg

Velocity = 1.73 m/s

She then moves in a circle of radius 0.608 m around the pole.

Step 2:

Force exterted by the horizontal rope is the centripetal force acting on theice skater:

Fc = M*ac

⇒ with ac = v²/r

Fc = M * v²/r

Fc = 55.6 * 1.73²/0.608

Fc =273.69 N

The force exerted by the rope on her arms is 273.7 N = 0.274 kN

What's the difference between electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic spectrum?
White raven [17]
The difference between the two is, well for one

Spectrum: The entire range that the "<em>waves" </em>could be such, as visible light, x-ray's and so on.

Waves: These are different because they aren't telling you or showing the entire spectrum just which they length that they are.

<em>It may confuse you but it makes sense to me (Sorry)</em>

A rod of length L and mass M has a nonuniform mass distribution. The linear mass density (mass per length) is λ=cx2, where x is
grigory [225]

Answer:

Explanation:

λ=c x²

c = λ / x²

λ is mass / length

so its dimensional formula is ML⁻¹

x is length so its dimensional formula is L

c = λ / x²

= ML⁻¹ / L²

= ML⁻³

B )

We shall find out the mass of the rod with the help of given expression of mass per unit length and equate it with given mass that is M

The mass in the rod is symmetrically distributed on both side of middle point.

we consider a small strip of rod of length dx at x distance away from middle point

its mass dm = λdx = cx² dx

By integrating it from -L to +L we can calculate mass of whole rod , that is

M = ∫cx² dx

= [c x³ / 3] from -L/2 to +L/2

= c/3 [ L³/8 + L³/8]

M = c L³/12

c = 12 M L⁻³

C ) Moment of inertia of rod

∫dmx²

= ∫λdxx²

= ∫cx²dxx²

= ∫cx⁴dx

= c x⁵ / 5 from - L/2 to L/2

= c / 5 ( L⁵/ 32 +L⁵/ 32)

= (2c / 160)L⁵

= (c / 80) L⁵

= (12 M L⁻³/80)L⁵

= 3/20 ML²

When ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 400 nm falls on a certain metal surface, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted p
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

1.76 eV

Explanation:

Maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo electrons = energy of the photon- work function of the metal

K.E' = (hc/λ)-∅.................. Equation 1

Where K.E' = maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo electrons, h = Planck's constant, c = speed, λ = wave length, ∅ = work function of the metal.

make ∅ the subject of the equation

∅ = (hc/λ)-K.E'.................. Equation 2

Given: h = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ J.s, c = 3×10⁸ m/s, λ = 400 nm = 400×10⁻⁹ m, K.E' = 1.1 eV = 1.1(1.602×10⁻¹⁹) J = 1.7622×10⁻¹⁹ J

Substitute into equation 2

∅ = [6.63×10⁻³⁴(3×10⁸)/400×10⁻⁹ ]-1.7622×10⁻¹⁹

∅ = (4.973×10⁻¹⁹)-(1.7622×10⁻¹⁹)

∅ = 3.21×10⁻¹⁹ J.

The maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons when the wave length is 330 nm is

K.E' = [6.63×10⁻³⁴( 3×10⁸ )/330×10⁻⁹]-(3.21×10⁻¹⁹)

K.E' = (6.03×10⁻¹⁹)-(3.21×10⁻¹⁹)

K.E' = 2.82×10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E' = 2.82×10⁻¹⁹/1.602×10⁻¹⁹

K.E' = 1.76 eV
