Answer:

Let's investigate the case where the cable breaks.

Conservation of angular momentum can be used to find the speed.

\vec{L}_1 = \vec{L}_2\\\vec{L}_1 = m\vec{v_0} \\\vec{L}_2 = I\vec{\omega}\\

The projectile embeds itself to the ball, so they can be treated as a combined object. <u>The moment of inertia of the combined object is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of both objects. </u>

I = I_{projectile} + I_{ball}\\I = mr^2 + mr^2\\I = 2mr^2

where r is the length of the cable.

<u>After the collision, the ball and the projectile makes a circular motion because of the cable.</u> So, the force (tension) in circular motion is

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

The relation between linear velocity and the angular velocity is

v = \omega r

So,

F = \frac{m(\omega r)^2}{r} = m\omega^2 r = 300\\mv_0r  =I\omega\\\\\omega = mv_0r/I\\300 = m(\frac{mv_0r}{I})^2r = m(\frac{mv_0r}{2mr^2})^2r = m(\frac{v_0}{2r})^2r = \frac{mv_0^2r}{4r^2} = \frac{mv_0^2}{4r}\\300 = \frac{0.8v_0^2}{4r}\\1500 = v_0^2/r\\v_0 = \sqrt{1500r}

As can be seen, the maximum velocity for the projectile without breaking the cable is \sqrt{1500r}, where r is the length of the cable.

When the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from n = 6 to n = 1, light with a wavelength of ________ nm is emitted?
Oduvanchick [21]
First we find the energy level with the following formula, where a is the energy level, n1 is the final energy level, n2 is the starting energy level and r is Rydberg's constant in Joules
a = r \times ( \frac{1}{n1}  -  \frac{1}{n2} )
We insert the values

a = 2.18 \times  {10}^{ - 18}  \times ( \frac{1}{ {1}^{2} } -  \frac{1}{ {6}^{2} }  )
= 2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18}
The wavelength is found with this formula, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light
wavelength =  \frac{h \times c}{a}
Finally we insert the values
\frac{6.626 \times  {10}^{ - 34}  \times 3 \times  {10}^{8} }{2.12 \times  {10}^{ - 18} }  = 9.376 \times  {10}^{ - 8}
Which is the same as 93.8 nm

The temperature of water in a beaker is 45°C. What does this measurement represent
andrezito [222]
Based on my information, this would actually be representing "the average kinetic energy of water particles". So, as you take notice that where this temperature is being located, and also, how this would be 45°C, this would make more sense for this to be representing as <span>the average kinetic energy of water particles.</span>

Find the resistance of wire of<br>0.65m Radius 0.25<br>and<br>resistivity 3x10-6 OHM<br>​
densk [106]

Complete Question:

Find the resistance of a wire of length 0.65 m, radius 0.25 mm and resistivity 3 * 10^{-6} ohm-metre.

Answer:

Resistance = 9.95 Ohms

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Length = 0.65 m

Radius = 0.25 mm to meters = 0.00025 m

Resistivity = 3 * 10^{-6} ohm-metre.

To find the resistance of the wire;

Mathematically, resistance is given by the formula;

Resistance = P \frac {L}{A}

Where;

  • P is the resistivity of the material.
  • L is the length of the material.
  • A is the cross-sectional area of the material.

First of all, we would find the cross-sectional area of the wire.

Area of circle = πr²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area  = 3.142 * (0.00025)²

Area = 3.142 * 6.25 * 10^{-8}

Area = 1.96 * 10^{-7} m²

Now, to find the resistance of the wire;

Resistance = 3 * 10^{-6} * \frac {0.65}{1.96 * 10^{-7}}

Resistance = 3 * 10^{-6} * 3316326.531

<em>Resistance = 9.95 Ohms </em>
