A 45.2-kg person is on a barrel ride at an amusement park. She stands on a platform with her back to the barrel wall. The 3.74-m

eter diameter barrel spins rapidly in a circle, making a revolution every 1.65 seconds. Determine the net force (in N) acting on her. Use g = 9.8 m/s/s.

Answer:

  • <u><em>1,230N</em></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Name of the variables:</u>

   f:frequency\\\\ \omega:angular\text{ }speed\\\\ a_c:centripetal\text{ }acceleration\\\\ F_c:centripetal\text{ }force\\ \\ m:mass\\ \\ d:diameter\\ \\ r:radius\\ \\ g:gravitational\text{ }acceleration

<u>2. Formulae:</u>

         f=\dfrac{number\text{ }of\text{ }revolutions}{time}

          \omega=2\pi f

          a_c=\omega^2 r

           F_c=m\times a_c

<u>3. Solution (calculations)</u>

       f=\dfrac{1}{1.65s}=0.\overline{60}s^{-1}

       \omega=2\pi\times0.\overline{60}\approx 3.808rad/s

      a_c=(3.808rad/s)^2\times (3.74/2m)=27.12m/s^2

      F_c=45.2kg\times27.12m/s^2=1,225.67N\approx 1,230N

By calculating its wavelength (in nm), show that the second line in the Lyman series is UV radiation.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

 λ = 102.78  nm

This radiation is in the UV range,

Explanation:

Bohr's atomic model for the hydrogen atom states that the energy is

           E = - 13.606 / n²

where 13.606 eV   is the ground state energy and n is an integer

an atom transition is the jump of an electron from an initial state to a final state of lesser emergy

            ΔE = 13.606 (1 / n_{f}^{2} - 1 / n_{i}^{2})

the so-called Lyman series occurs when the final state nf = 1, so the second line occurs when ni = 3, let's calculate the energy of the emitted photon

            DE = 13.606 (1/1 - 1/3²)

            DE = 12.094 eV

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            DE = 12.094 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 ev) = 10.35 10⁻¹⁹ J

let's find the wavelength is this energy, let's use Planck's equation to find the frequency

            E = h f

             f = E / h

            f = 19.35 10⁻¹⁹ / 6.63 10⁻³⁴

            f = 2.9186 10¹⁵ Hz

now we can look up the wavelength

           c = λ f

           λ = c / f

           λ = 3 10⁸ / 2.9186 10¹⁵

           λ = 1.0278  10⁻⁷ m

let's reduce to nm

            λ = 102.78  nm

This radiation is in the UV range, which occurs for wavelengths less than 400 nm.

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface. One moves at 1 m/s and the other at 2 m/s. They co
mario62 [17]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s

Explanation:

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface.

Initial speed of body 1, m₁ = 1 m/s

Initial speed of body 2, m₂ = 2 m/s

They collide and stick.

We need to find the speed of the combined mass. Let V is the speed of the combined mass.

Using the conservation of momentum.

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=V(m_1+m_2)

We have, m₁ = m₂ = m

m\times 1+m\times 2=(m+m)V\\\\m+2m=2m\times V\\\\3m=2mV\\\\V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s

So, the speed of the combined mass is \dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s.

You build a grandfather clock, whose timing is based on a pendulum. You measure its period to be 2s on Earth. You then travel wi
Elenna [48]

Answer:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

Explanation:

The period of the simple pendulum is:

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Where:

l - Cord length, in m.

g - Gravity constant, in \frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Given that the same pendulum is test on each planet, the following relation is formed:

T_{1}^{2}\cdot g_{1} = T_{2}^{2}\cdot g_{2}

The ratio of the gravitational constant on planet CornTeen to the gravitational constant on planet Earth is:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{2\,s}{4\,s} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

The change in motion (acceleration) of an object depends on
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

BOTH the size of the force AND the mass of the object

Explanation:

Acceleration of an object is the rate of change of its velocity.

The relation between force, mass and acceleration is given by the formula as follows :

F = ma

m is mass

a is acceleration

It would mean that the change in motion or the acceleration of an object depends on both the size of the force and the mass of the object. Hence, the correct option is (c).
