A string under a tension of 50.4 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.51 m at a speed of 21.1 m/s. The s

tring is pulled in and the speed of the rock increases. When the string is 1.22 m long and the speed of the rock is 51.6 m/s, the string breaks. What is the breaking strength (in newtons) of the string?

Answer:

619.8 N

Explanation:

The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the rock in circular motion, so we can write:

T=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

T is the tension

m is the mass of the rock

v is the speed

r is the radius of the circular path

At the beginning,

T = 50.4 N

v = 21.1 m/s

r = 2.51 m

So we can use the equation to find the mass of the rock:

m=\frac{Tr}{v^2}=\frac{(50.4)(2.51)}{21.1^2}=0.284 kg

Later, the radius of the string is decreased to

r' = 1.22 m

While the speed is increased to

v' = 51.6 m/s

Substituting these new data into the equation, we find the tension at which the string breaks:

T'=m\frac{v'^2}{r'}=(0.284)\frac{(51.6)^2}{1.22}=619.8 N

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2

Oscilloscopes have parallel metal plates inside them to deflect the electron beam. These plates are called the deflecting plates
Alina [70]

Answer:

The capacitance of the deflecting plates is C=1.59 pF.

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance of the capacitor in terms of area and distance is as follows;

C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}

Here, C is the capacitance, A is the area, d is the distance and \varepsilon _{0} is the absolute permittivity.

Convert the side of the square from cm to m.

s= 3.0 cm

s= 0.030 m

Calculate the area of the square.

A= s_^{2}

Put s= 0.030 m.

A=(0.030)_^{2}

A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2}

Convert distance from mm to m.

d= 5.0 mm

d=5\times10^{-3}m

Calculate the capacitance of the deflecting plates.

C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}

Put d=5\times10^{-3}m, A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2} and \varepsilon _{0}=8.85\times 10^{-12}Fm^{-1}.

C=\frac{(8.85\times 10^{-12})(9\times10^{-4})}{5\times10^{-3}}

C=1.59\times 10^{-12}F

C=1.59 pF

Therefore, the capacitance of the deflecting plates is C=1.59 pF.

What is the momentum of a ten ton truck which is sitting still?
ANTONII [103]

The momentum of the truck is given by:

p = mv

p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

There isn't too much work to do here; the truck is at rest, therefore its velocity is 0. This means the product of m and v is 0, giving the momentum as 0.
