Ciara is swinging a 0.015 kg ball tied to a string around her head in a flat, horizontal circle. The radius of the circle is 0.7

0 m. It takes the ball 0.60 seconds to complete one full circle. Calculate the tension in the string and its direction that provides the centripetal force acting on the ball to keep it in the circular path.
A) 0.0077 N, toward the center of the circle
B) 1.2 N, toward the center of the circle
C) 0.0077 N, along the line tangent to the circle
D) 1.2 N, along the line tangent to the circle

Answer:

1.2 N, toward the center of the circle

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 0.015 kg

The radius of the circle, r = 0.7 m

Time taken by the ball to complete complete circle, t = 0.6 s

We need to find the tension in the string and its direction that provides the centripetal force acting on the ball to keep it in the circular path. Here, tension in the string balances the centripetal force so that the ball moves in circular path. So,

T=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Since, v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.7}{0.6}=7.33\ m/s

So, T=\dfrac{0.015\times (7.33)^2}{0.7}

T = 1.15 N

or

T = 1.2 N

The direction of centripetal force is toward the center of circle. So, the correct option is (b).

Answer:

B) 1.2 N, toward the center of the circle

Explanation:

The circumference of the circle is:

C = 2πr

C = 2π (0.70 m)

C = 4.40 m

So the velocity of the ball is:

v = C/t

v = 4.40 m / 0.60 s

v = 7.33 m/s

Sum of the forces in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

T = m v² / r

T = (0.015 kg) (7.33 m/s)² / (0.70 m)

T = 1.2 N

The tension force is 1.2 N towards the center of the circle.

3. n=1.31. So using Snell's Law of Refraction, n1sinθ=n2sinθ. Your second theta should be 15 degrees instead. The angle is ALWAYS from the vertical. Since n of air is just 1, n2=(sin45)/(sin15)=1.31.

4. This is a bit interesting, the way YOU set this up. Because I am a physicist, the dashed line for refracting angles should be perpendicular to the object's surface. Whether that is how you are told by your instructor, or your own doing, I digress. Anyway, Snell's Law again, n1sinθ=n2sinθ. N of air is 1 at an angle of 90 degrees. So 1=sin90 for both shapes. Your angle for the triangular prism is 55 degrees, so n=1/sin(55). For the funky looking shape, your angle should actually be 90-35. ANGLE IS TO THE DASHED LINE, NOT THE SURFACE. So this n is 1/sin(55) again.

A 5000 kg train is traveling at a velocity of 100 m/s and hits another train. The two trains stick together and the new velocity
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum is used to solve

Unfortunately we have a missing piece of information such as the initial velocity of the unknown mass train.

If we ASSUME that the second train is at rest

5000(100) + m(0) = 5000(50) + m(50)

which means m = 5000 kg

However, I'll show you the importance of knowing that initial velocity by finding it assuming the other answers are valid

if m = 15000 kg

5000(100) + 15000(v₀) = (5000 + 15000)(50)

v₀ = 33 ⅓ m/s

if m = 10000 kg

5000(100) + 10000(v₀) = (5000 + 10000)(50)

v₀ = 25 m/s

if m = 8000 kg

5000(100) + 8000(v₀) = (5000 + 8000)(50)

v₀ = 18.75 m/s

So you can see why I had to assume an initial velocity. Any of the masses could work if the initial velocity is chosen correctly.
