An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas

ter and at a certain speed the apples is torn from the stalk.Why?

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

How many board feet of lumber are needed assuming 200 lin. Ft. of 2""x 6"" lumber a. 12 b. 16.67 c. 120 d. 200
Svetach [21]

Answer:

B) 16.67

Explanation:

If the dimension of one lumber is 2" × 6", the total area of one lumber will be 12inch²

If the total board feet of lumber there is 200in, therefore the total board of lumber that will be needed is 200/12 which gives 16.67 lumbers

A car and a truck collide in an intersection and the merged wreck continues along. During the collision. both kinetic energy and
Vilka [71]

Answer:

C. Momentum is conserved but not kinetic energy.

Explanation:

This case represents an entirely inelastic collision, that is, a collision between the car and the truck that reduces total kinetic energy of the entire system, whereas linear momentum is conserved. Hence, correct answer is C.

Calculate (a) the torque, (b) the energy, and (c) the average power required to accelerate Earth in 4.0 days from rest to its pr
natima [27]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Torque = <em>2.05 x 10²⁸ Nm</em>

Energy = <em>3.54 x 10³³ J</em>

Average power = <em>1.02 x 10²⁸ W</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) Torque (τ) is the rotational effect of a given force.  

It is given by

τ = I x α          -------------(i)

Where;

I = rotational inertia of the object

α = angular acceleration of the object.

In this case, the object is the Earth. Therefore,

I = 9.71 x 10³⁷ kg m²

α = ω / t

Where;

ω = angular velocity of earth = 2π rad / day

<em>Since </em>

<em>1 day = 24 hours and 1 hour = 3600seconds</em>

<em>1 day = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400seconds</em>

<em>=> ω = 2π rad / 86400seconds</em>

<em>=> ω = 7.29 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s</em>

<em />

t = 4 days = 4 x 24 x 3600 seconds = 345600 seconds

=> α = ω / t

=> α = 7.29 × 10⁻⁵ / 345600

=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻⁵) / (3.456 x 10⁵)

=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻⁵⁻⁵) / (3.456)

=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻¹⁰) / (3.456)

=> α = 2.11 × 10⁻¹⁰ rad/s²

Now substitute the values of I and α into equation (i)

τ = 9.71 x 10³⁷ x 2.11 × 10⁻¹⁰

τ = 9.71 x 10²⁷ x 2.11

τ = 20.5 x 10²⁷ Nm

τ = 2.05 x 10²⁸ Nm

(ii) The energy (rotational energy) E is given by;

E = \frac{1}{2} x I x ω

E = \frac{1}{2} x 9.71 x 10³⁷ x 7.29 × 10⁻⁵

E = 35.4 x 10³² J

E = 3.54 x 10³³ J

(iii) The average power P, is given by;

P = E / t

P = 3.54 x 10³³ / 345600

P = 1.02 x 10²⁸ W

Most comets have short periods and orbit close to the ecliptic plane. (T/F)
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most comets are located outside the solar system, in part of the cloud that originated from dust and gas that has remained virtually untouchable for billions of years. The orbit of these comets can reach the order of a light year. Thus, they are called long-period comets.

What is the relationship between the electric force and each one of the charges?
Bess [88]

Explanation: Electrostatic force is directly related to the charge of each object. So if the charge of one object is doubled, then the force will become two times greater.
