A sling-thrower puts a stone (0.250 kg) in the sling's pouch (0.010 kg) and then begins to make the stone and pouch move in a ve

rtical circle of radius 0.725 m. The cord between the pouch and the person's hand has negligible mass and will break when the tension in the cord is 39.5 N or more. Suppose the sling-thrower could gradually increase the speed of the stone. (a) Will the breaking occur at the lowest point of the circle or at the highest point? (b) At what speed of the stone will that breaking occur?

Answer:

Lowest.

v=10.5m/s

Explanation:

The breaking will occur at the lowest point of the circle because in that position the weight acts against the tension, to the tension must be higher for one to get the same centripetal force as when it is at the highest point.

The equations of centripetal force is:

F_{cp}=ma_{cp}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

Where we also used the equatio for centripetal acceleration.

We calculate then the speed when the centripetal force is 39.5N, which is when the breaking will occur:

v=\sqrt{\frac{F_{cp}r}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(39.5N)(0.725)}{(0.25Kg+0.01Kg)}}=10.5m/s

A runner of mass 51.8 kg starts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration of 1.31 m/s^2 until she reaches a velocit
Stells [14]

Answer:32.24 s

Explanation:

Given

mass of runner (m)=51.8 kg

Constant acceleration(a)=1.31 m/s^2

Final velocity (v)=5.47 m/s

Time taken taken to reach 5.47 m/s

v=u+at

5.47=0+1.31\times t

t=\frac{5.47}{1.31}=4.17 s

Distance traveled during this time is

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

s=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.31\times 4.17^2=11.42 m

So remaining distance left to travel with constant velocity=153.57 m

thus time =\frac{distance}{speed}

t_2=\frac{153.57}{5.47}=28.07 s

Total time=28.07+4.17=32.24 s

What is the direction and speed of an object?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity by definition means speed and direction of an object. This means it has a value and a positive or minus sign indicating direction. Speed is the absolute value of velocity because there is no direction correlated with speed. If you add a direction, it is then called velocity

A boat takes 3.0 hours to travel 50 km down a river, then 5.4 hours to return. Determine the speed of the water in the river.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3.7 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call v the proper speed of the boat and v' the speed of the water in the river.

When the boat travels in the direction of the current, the speed of the boat is:

v + v'

And it covers 50 km in 3 h, so we can write

v+v' = \frac{50 km}{3 h}=16.7 km/h (1)

When the boat travels in the opposite direction, the speed of the boat is

v - v'

And it covers 50 km in 5.4 h, so

v-v'=\frac{50 km}{5.4 h}=9.3 km/h (2)

So we have a system of two equations: by solving them simultaneously, we find the value of v and v':

v+v'=16.7 \\v-v'=9.3

Subtracting the second equation from the first one we get:

(v+v')-(v-v')=16.7-9.3\\2v'=7.4\\v'=3.7

So, the speed of the water is 3.7 km/h.

A trapeze artist swings in simple harmonic motion with a period of 3.8 s.
pogonyaev
As we know that time period of simple pendulum is given as

T = 2π √L/g

here we know that

T = 3.8 s

now from above equation we know that

T² = 4π² (L/g)

now on rearranging the above equation we will have

L = gT² / 4π²

now plug in all data into it

L = (9.8) (3.8)² / (4) (3.14)²

so the length of the cable must be 3.6 m

A spring with constant k = 78 N/m is at the base of a frictionless, 30.0°-inclined plane. A 0.50-kg block is pressed against the
olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

   Spring constant (k) = 78 N/m,     \theta = 30^{o}

 Mass of block (m) = 0.50 kg

According to the formula of energy conservation,

                mgh sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

       h = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{kx^{2}}{mg Sin \theta}

          = \frac{78 \times 0.04}{2 \times 0.5 \times 9.8 \times 0.5}

          = 0.64 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance traveled by the block is 0.64 m.
