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.

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)
Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and \Delta T is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.

Calculate the total resistance for a 650ohm , a 350 ohm , and a 1000 ohm resistor connected in series
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

2000 ohms

Explanation:

Resisters in series just add.

Rt = R1 + R2 + R3

R1 = 650 ohm

R2 = 350 ohm

R3 = 1000 ohm

Rt = 650 + 350 + 1000

Rt = 2000 ohms.

A projectile is fired at a velocity of 50 m/s straight into the air. What is the velocity of the projectile when the objects dis
Arisa [49]

Answer:

the final velocity of the object is 53.04 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the projectile, u = 50 m/s

displacement of the object, d = 16 m

let the final velocity of the object = v

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the final velocity of the projectile.

v² = u² + 2gd

v² = 50² + (2 x 9.8 x 16)

v² = 2813.6

v = √2813.6

v = 53.04 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the object is 53.04 m/s.
