You tie a cord to a pail of water and swing the pail in a vertical circle of radius 0.710 mm . What minumum speed must the pail
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The minumum speed the pail must have at its highest point if no water is to spill from it

= 2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Working with the forces acting on the water in the pail at any point.

The weight of water is always directed downwards.

The normal force exerted on the water by the pail is always directed towards the centre of the circle of the circular motion.

And the centripetal force, which keeps the system in its circular motion, is the net force as a result of those two previously mentioned force.

At the highest point of the motion, the top of the vertical circle, the weight and the normal force on the water are both directed downwards.

Net force = W + (normal force)

But the speed of this motion can be lowered enough to a point where the normal force becomes zero at the moment the pail reaches the highest point of its motion. Any speed lower than this value would result in the water spilling out of the pail. The water would not be able to resist the force of gravity.

At this point of minimum velocity,

Normal force = 0

Net force = W

Net force = centripetal force = (mv²/r)

W = mg

(mv²/r) = mg

r = 0.710 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

v² = gr = 9.8 × 0.71 = 6.958

v = √(6.958) = 2.64 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?
saw5 [17]

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year (at speed = 2.998 × 108 m/s). (a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light
larisa [96]
<span>The answers are as follows:

(a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light-years?

11.0 light years ( 365 days / 1 year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 60 min / 1 h ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) ( 2.998x10^8 m/s ) = 1.04x10^17 m

(b) an astronomical unit (au) is the average distance from the sun to earth, 1.50 × 108 km. how many au are there in 11.0 light-years?

1.04x10^17 m ( 1 au / </span>1.50 × 10^8 km <span>) ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 693329.472 au

(c) what is the speed of light in au/h? au/h

</span>2.998 × 10^8 m/s ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) ( 3600 s / 1 h ) = 7.1952 au/h

Why does a hot air balloon fall when the air inside is not heated​
trapecia [35]
A hot air balloon rises in the first place because the air inside is hot, which rises. So, if the air inside is not heated, it fails to rise and falls. Warm air rises because the particles get excited and jiggle with the heat, and cause the air to take up more space. So, as the surrounding air is probably colder and denser, the less dense hot air rises up in the hot air balloon.
