A small ball is attached to one end of a spring that has an unstrained length of 0.175 m. The spring is held by the other end, a

nd the ball is whirled around in a horizontal circle at a speed of 3.86 m/s. The spring remains nearly parallel to the ground during the motion and is observed to stretch by 0.0140 m. By how much would the spring stretch if it were attached to the ceiling and the ball allowed to hang straight down, motionless?

Answer:

x(spring stretch)=1.74×10⁻³ meter

Explanation:

Given Data

l (length)=0.175 m

v (speed)= 3.86 m/s

x₁(stretch)=0.0140 m

x(spring stretch)=?

Solution

Centripetal force=Spring Constant

\frac{mv^{2} }{l}=kx_{1}\\  k=(1/x_{1} )\frac{mv^{2} }{l}\\ k=(1/0.014)(\frac{m(3.86)^{2} }{(0.175+0.014)} )\\k=m*5630.99

as

Spring force = gravitational force

kx=mg\\x=\frac{mg}{k}\\ x=\frac{m(9.8)}{m*5630.99}\\ x=\frac{9.8}{5630.99}\\ x=1.74*10^{-3} meter

A dumbbell-shaped object is composed by two equal masses, m, connected by a rod of negligible mass and length r. If I_1 is the m
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

I2>I1

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the parallel axis theorem. If the axis of rotation of a rigid body (with moment of inertia I1 at its center of mass) is changed, then, the new moment of inertia is gven by:

I_2=I_{1}+Md^2

where M is the mass of the object and d is the distance of the new axis to the axis of the center of mass.

It is clear that I2 is greater than I1 by the contribution of the term Md^2.

I2>I1

hope this helps!!

A). No. Condensation happens when you take heat out of a gas.

b). No.  I'm not sure what transpiration is.

<u>c). Yes.</u> Evaporation happens when you add heat to a liquid.

d). No.  Sublimation sometimes happens when you add heat to a solid.

Which of the following scenarios describes an object being acted on by a conservative force?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Option: A feather falls from one end of a tube to the other inside a vacuum.

Explanation:

To answer the question we need to first understand what is meant by Conservative Force.

In principle, Conservative forces are basically forces that are not affected by outside parameters (<em>such as friction, air resistance etc</em>). If the present force is strictly based on the initial and the final location of the object, with the inbetween path being irrelevant, the force will be conservative. A conservative force will be zero if we are looking at a closed path-system. We can also say that the system's energy loss will not be a function of the distance covered but is a function of displacement.

Looking at the available options, we can see that:

<u>Option A: A woman hikes up a mountain to a point 20 feet above ground.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also in  the path in between, i.e. hiking up the mountain there will be other forces that will affect the woman such as air resistance.

<u>Option B: A dishwasher was pulled up to a window by a rope, using a pulley system.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also in the inbetween path along with the forces present in a pulley system such as friction.

<u />

<u>Option C: A feather falls from one end of a tube to the other inside a vacuum.</u>

This is a Conservative force as here we are looking at a vacuum and its a closed system of no other forces present due to vacuum. However, we CAN'T say that ALL forces in a Vacuum Are Conservative because there are cases of dynamic steady state fields where the system is prone to other forces (i.e. open system).

<u />

<u>Option D: A puck glides across and slowly comes to a stop on an ice rink.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also the motion until it comes to a stop, which is possibly due to the friction between the ice rink and the puck.

: In heavy rushIn heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5
zhuklara [117]
Guessing you want the average speed. We can multiple each speed by the time we spent going that speed, and them all together and then divide by the total time we spent in traffic to get the average speed. We spent a total of 7.5 minutes in traffic, so average speed  = (12*1.5+0*3.5+15*2.5)/7.5 = 7.4 m/s
