EX 6-1 A ball is twirled on a 0.870 - m-long string with a constant speed of 3.36 m / s . Calculate the acceleration of the ball

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$a=12.97\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a string, l = 0.87 m

Speed of the ball, v = 3.36 m/s

We need to find the acceleration of the ball. The acceleration acting on the ball is centripetal acceleration. It is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(3.36)^2}{0.87}\\\\=12.97\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the ball is $12.97\ m/s^2$ .

A rectangular sharp-crested weir is contracted on both sides, and the opening is 1.2 m wide. At what height (Hw) should it be pl

Alex

Answer:

H_w = 2.129 m

Explanation:

given,

Width of the weir, B = 1.2 m

Depth of the upstream weir, y = 2.5 m

Discharge, Q = 0.5 m³/s

Weir coefficient, C_w = 1.84 m

Now, calculating the water head over the weir

$Q = C_w BH^{3/2}$

$H = (\dfrac{Q}{C_wB})^{2/3}$

$H = (\dfrac{0.5}{1.84\times 1.2})^{2/3}$

$H = 0.371\ m$

now, level of weir on the channel

H_w = y - H

H_w = 2.5 - 0.371

H_w = 2.129 m

Height at which weir should place is equal to 2.129 m.

5. An electrical power plant generates electricity with a current of 50 A and a potential difference of 20 000 V. In order to mi

lakkis [162]

Answer: Current = 2 A

Explanation:

Given that an electrical power plant generates electricity with a

current I = 50 A

Potential difference V = 20 000 V

The resistance R will be achieved by Ohms law formula which state that

V = IR

But the power generated will be the product of potential difference and the current

Power P = IV

P = 50 × 20000

P = 1, 000000 W

When the transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted

Power is always constant.

Using the formula for power again with

V = 500000

1000000 = 500000× I

Make I the subject of formula

Current I = 1000000/500000

Current I = 2 A
