Answer:

The string is more likely to break when the circle is vertical

Explanation:

The string is more likely to break when the circle is vertical because tension in the string is the same throughout the circular motion and it is equal to mrw^2 when it is rotated in the horizontal plane while tension in the string is maximum and is given by mrw^2+mg when in the vertical plane.

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics
spayn [35]

Answer:

v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}

Explanation:

This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.

On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.

Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives

x - x_0 = v_{x_0} t + \frac{1}{2}a_x t^2\\63 \times 10^{-3} = v_0t + 0\\t = \frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}

For the y-direction gives

v_y = v_{y_0} + a_y t\\v_y = 0 -9.8t\\v_y = -9.8t

Combining both equation yields the y_component of the final velocity

v_y = -9.8(\frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}) = -\frac{0.61}{v_0}

Since we know the angle between the x- and y-components of the final velocity, which is 180° - 2.8° = 177.2°, we can calculate the initial velocity.

\tan(\theta) = \frac{v_y}{v_x}\\\tan(177.2^\circ) = -0.0489 = \frac{v_y}{v_0} = \frac{-0.61/v_0}{v_0} = -\frac{0.61}{v_0^2}\\v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}

Raphael refers to a wave by noting its wavelength. lucinda refers to a wave by noting its frequency. which student is correct an
blsea [12.9K]
They are both right because you can note both things, I mean Raphael and Lucinda, both has a right statement or explanation about the wave. Wave by nothing is both for its wavelength and for its frequency. So Raphael and Lucinda are both correct because you can note both wavelength and frequency.

A light spring obeys Hooke's law. The spring's unstretched length is 34.0 cm. One end of the spring is attached to the top of a
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hooke's law is represented by thee formula

F = ke where F is force in N and K is the spring constant.

Initial length of the spring = 34cm = 0.34 m

mass of 7.00kg hung

weight = mg = 7 × 9.8 = 68.6 N

Final length of the spring = 44.5 cm = 0.445 m

extension = final length - initial length = 0.445 m - 0.34 m = 0.105 m

a) F = Ke

K = F / e = 68.6 N /0.105 m = 653.33 N/m = 0.653 kN/m

b) F = 150 N

k = 653.33 N/m

F = ke

150 N / 653.33 N/m = e

e = 0.23 m

new length = 0.34 + 0.23= 0.57 m = 57 cm

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

10.1 m/s

Explanation:

By Newton's third law, the force on the squid and that due to the water expelled form an action reaction pair.

And by the law of conservation of momentum,

initial momentum of squid + expelled water = final momentum of squid + expelled water.

Now, the initial momentum of the system is zero.

So, 0 = final momentum of squid + expelled water

0 = MV + mv where M = mass of squid = 6.50kg, V = velocity of squid = 2.40m/s, m =mass of water in cavity = 1.55 kg and v = velocity of water expelled

So, MV + mv = 0

MV = -mv

v = -MV/m

= -6.50 kg × 2.40 m/s ÷ 1.55 kg

= -15.6 kgm/s ÷ 1.55 kg

= -10.1 m/s

So, speed must it expel this water to instantaneously achieve a speed of 2.40 m/s to escape the predator is 10.1 m/s
