An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 8.26 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

nd of 1.14 m massless chains. When the system rotates, the chains make an angle of 16.2 degrees with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.1. What is the speed of each seat? I fixed my answer and got 3.57 m/s.2. If a child of mass 26.2 kg sits in a seat, what is the tension in the chain (for the same angle)?

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the necessary and effective distances that act as components of the centripetal and gravity Forces. Later using the same relationships we will find the speed of the body. The second part of the problem will use the equations previously found to find the tension.

PART A) We will begin by finding the two net distances.

r = \frac{8.26}{2} = 4.13m

And the distance 'd' is

d = lsin\theta

d = 1.14 sin 16.2\°

d = 0.318m

Through the free-body diagram the tension components are given by

Tcos\theta = mg

Tsin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}

Here we can watch that,

R = r+d

Dividing both expression we have that,

tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{Rg}

Replacing the values,

tan(16.2) = \frac{v^2}{(4.13+0.318)(9.8)}

v = 4.83371m/s

PART B) Using the vertical component we can find the tension,

Tcos\theta = mg

T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}

T = \frac{(10+26.2)(9.8)}{cos(16.2)}

T = 369.42N

A piano wire with mass 2.60g and length 84.0 cm is stretched with a tension of 25.0 N. A wave with frequency 120.0 Hz and amplit
likoan [24]

Answer:

Power will be 0.2023 watt

And when amplitude is halved then power will be 0.0505 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass of the Piano wire m = 2.60 gram = 0.0026 kg

Length of wire l = 84 cm = 0.84 m

So mass density \mu =\frac{m}{l}=\frac{0.0026}{0.84}=0.0031kg/m

Tension in the wire T = 25 N

Frequency f = 120 Hz

So angular frequency \omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 120=753.6rad/sec

And amplitude A = 1.6 mm = 0.0016 m

We have to find the generated power

Power is given by P=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\mu T}\omega ^2A^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \sqrt{0.0031\times 25}\times 753.6^2\times 0.0016^2=0.2023watt

From the relation we can see that power P\ \propto\ A^2

So if amplitude is halved then power will be \frac{1}{4} times

So power will be equal to \frac{0.2023}{2}=0.0505watt

Conduction occurs more easily between solids and liquids. This is because the particles in gases are A) further apart and move f
valkas [14]
The answer is A. Further apart and move faster. 

Conduction in general is the transfer of energy from molecule to molecule through DIRECT CONTACT. In solids and liquids, the molecules are closer to each other; more so in solids than liquids. This enables them to pass energy more quickly. Gas molecules on the other hand are further apart and move faster because they have space to move more freely. Energy does not easily pass on to the next molecule because of the distance between the molecules.

sesenic [268]

Answer: 9.98 *10^-19 J

Explanation: In order to explain this probelm we have to consider the balance enegy for photoelectric effect.

h*f-W=Ek where h is the Planck constant and W the work function and Ek the kinetic energy. f is the frequency of light.

W=h*f-Ek=6.62*10^-34*2.4*10^15-5.9*10^-19=9.98*10^-19J

Which of the following is an accurate statement?
Igoryamba
The correct option is D.
A step up voltage transformer is a type of transformer which increases voltage from primary to secondary turns. The transformer has more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns. A step up transformer is designed to increase voltage because high voltage increases efficiency.<span />
