A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.0-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one s

ide and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.6 m/s as it passes through the lowest point.
What is the tension in the rope at that point?

Answer:

The tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the ball, W = 150 N

length of the rope, r = 4 m

velocity of the ball, v = 5.6 m/s

When the ball passes through the lowest point, the tension on the rope is the sum of weight of the ball and centripetal force.

T = W + F

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

where;

m is the mass of the ball

m = W/g

m = 150 / 9.8 = 15.306 kg

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

F = (15.306 x 5.6²)/4

F = 120 N

T = W + F

T = 150 + 120

T = 270 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N

A 220-V electric heater has two heating coils that can be switched such that either coil can be used independently or the two ca
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The resistances of both coils are 131.7 Ω and 29.64 Ω.

Explanation:

Since, there are two coils, they can be used independently or in series or parallel. The power is given as:

Power = P = VI

but, from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

I = V/R

therefore,

P = V²/R

R = V²/P

Hence, the resistance (R) and (P) are inversely proportional. Therefore, the maximum value of resistance will give minimum power, that is, 300 W. And the maximum resistance will be in series arrangement, as in series the total resistance gets higher than, any individual resistance.

Therefore,

Rmax = V²/Pmin = R1 + R2

R1 + R2 = (220 V)²/300 W

R1 + R2 = 161.333 Ω    ______ en (1)

Similarly, the minimum resistance will give maximum power. And the minimum resistance will occur in parallel combination. Because equivalent resistance of parallel combination is less than any individual resistance.

Therefore,

(R1 R2)/(R1 + R2) = (220 V)²/2000 W

using eqn (1), we get:

(R1 R2) / 161.333 Ω = 24.2 Ω

R1 R2 = 3904.266 Ω²

R1 = 3904.266 Ω²/R2  _____ eqn (2)

Using this value of R1 in eqn (1), we get:

3904.266/R2 +R2 = 161.333

(R2)² - 161.333 R2 +3904.266 = 0

Solving this quadratic eqn we get two values of R2 as:

R2 = 131.7 Ω     OR     R2 = 29.64 Ω

when ,we substitute these values in eqn (1) to find R1, we get get the same two values as R2, alternatively. This means that the two coils have these resistance, and the order does not matter.

<u>Therefore, the resistance of both coils are found to be 131.7 Ω and 29.64 Ω</u>

The phasor technique makes it pretty easy to combine several sinusoidal functions into a single sinusoidal expression without us
devlian [24]

Answer:

The phasor technique can't be applied directly in the following cases:

a) 45 sin(2500t – 50°) + 20 cos(1500t +20°)

b) 100 cos(500t +40°) + 50 sin(500t – 120°) – 120 cos(500t + 60°)

c)  -100 sin(10,000t +90°) + 40 sin(10, 100t – 80°) + 80 cos(10,000t)

d)  75 cos(8t+40°) + 75 sin(8t+10°) – 75 cos(8t + 160°)

Explanation:

For a) and c), it is not possible to use the phasor technique, due this technique is only possible when the sinusoidal signals to be combined are all of the same frequency.

This is due to the vector representing a signal is showed as a fixed vector in the graph( which magnitude is equal to the amplitude of the sinusoid and his angle is the phase angle with respect to cos (ωt)), which is rotating at an angular speed equal to the angular frequency of the sinusoidal signal that represents, like a radius that shows a point rotating in a circular uniform movement.

This rotating vector represents a sinusoidal signal, in the form of a cosine (as the real part of the complex function e^{j(wt+\alpha)}), so it is not possible to combine with functions expressed as a sine, even though both  have  the same frequency.

If we look at the graphs of cos (ωt) and sin (ωt) we can say that the sin lags the cos in 90º, so we can say the following:

sin (ωt) = cos (ωt-90º)

This means that in order to be able to represent a sine function  as a cosine, we need to rotate it 90º in the plane clockwise.

This is the reason why before doing this transformation, it is not possible to use the phasor technique for b) and d).

Artyom0805 [142]

Explanation:

a converging nozzle has an exit area of 0.001 m2. Air enters the nozzle with negligible velocity at a pressure of 1 MPa and a temperature of 360 K. For isentropic flow of an ideal gas with k = 1.4 and the gas constant R = Ru/MW = 287 J/kg-K, determine the mass flow rate in kg/s and the exit Mach number for back pressures
