when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks

asambeis [7]

Answer:

4 N to the right

Explanation:

For the object in this problem, we have 2 forces acting on it:

- A force of 2 N, to the right

- A force of 2 N, to the right

The two forces are in line: this means that the two vectors can be simply added by calculating their algebraic sum.

If we take right as positive direction, the two forces can be written as

F1 = +2 N

F2 = +2 N

So, the net force will be

F=F_1+F_2=+2+2=+4 N

And the positive sign means the direction is to the right.

A 10.0-g bullet moving at 300 m/s is fired into a 1.00-kg block at rest. the bullet emerges (the bullet does not get embedded in
sesenic [268]
Momentum before the hit:
p = mv = 0.01 * 300 + 1 * 0 

Momentum after the hit:
p = 0.01 * 150 + 1 * v

Momentum is conserved:
0.01 * 300 = 0.01 * 150 + v 
3 = 1.5 + v
v = 1.5

The velocity of the block after the collision is 1.5 m/s.

Once juno reaches jupiter, what is the minimum amount of time it takes for the transmitted signals to travel from the spacecraft
Komok [63]

In very very very round figures . . .

-- Jupiter is about 5.2 times as far from the sun as the earth is.

-- So when Jupiter and the EARTH are aligned in both orbits, Jupiter is about

(4.2) x (150 million kilometers) = 630 million kilometers

Time = (distance) / (speed)

The speed of light and radio is 300,000 km/second

Time = (630 million / 300 thousand)

<em>Time = 2,100 seconds</em>

That's 35 minutes.
