(D) 2
1 answer:
The question is missing the diagram. Also, the choices must have pictorial representation. So, I have attached the missing diagram and the pictorial representation of the vectors.
Answer:
The correct representation is attached below. Force and acceleration will be towards the center of rotation while the velocity will be along the tangent to the circular motion. <u>Option (D).</u>
Explanation:
From the figure, we can conclude the following points:
1. The cylinder is under a uniform circular motion as the circular table is moving at constant speed.
2. For a circular motion, velocity acts along the tangent to the circular path.
3. For a circular motion, centripetal force acts on the body that causes it move around a circular path.
4 The direction of the centripetal force is radially inward towards the center of rotation.
5. The centripetal force causes a centripetal acceleration acting on the body.
6. From Newton's second law, the net acceleration of a body is in the same direction as that of the net force acting on it. So, centripetal acceleration also acts in the radially inward direction.
Therefore, from the above conclusions, it is clear that velocity will act in the horizontal direction at the given instance of time and force and acceleration will act vertically down for the given instance.
This is shown in the picture below. The option (D).

Answer:
<em>The range is 35.35 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Projectile Motion</u>
It's the type of motion that experiences an object projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.
Being vo the initial speed of the object, θ the initial launch angle, and the acceleration of gravity, then the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object (also called Range) is:
The projectile was launched at an angle of θ=30° with an initial speed vo=20 m/s. Calculating the range:
The range is 35.35 m
Answer:
The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Poles = 2
Distance = 16 m
Mass = 3 kg
Sags distance = 3 m
We need to calculate the angle made with vertical by mass
Using formula of angle
We need to calculate the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline
Using formula of tension
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.
