. A bead of mass m under the influence of gravity slides along a frictionless and massless wire whose height is given by a funct

ion y(x). Assume that at position (x, y) = (0, 0) the tangent of the wire is horizontal and the bead passes this point with a given speed v0. What should y(x) be so that the horizontal speed remains v0 at all times (that is what is the shape of the wire)? One simple solution is y = 0, find the other solution. (Hint: It should

Answer:

y = constant

Explanation:

Bodies moving on the surface of Earth are subject to gravity, and they have a potential and kinetic energy. If there is no friction, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy remains constant.

Since potential energy depends on height, changes in altitude affect potential energy. Going higher increases this energy, this is accompanied by a reduction of kinetic energy and speed (since kinetic energy is related to speed). If the body goes down potential energy is reduced, but kinetic energy and speed increase.

For speed to remain constant the kinetic energy must remain constant. For the kinetic energy to remanin constant, the potential energy must remain constant, and for the potential energy to remain constant the height must remain constant.

Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

If you can throw a stone straight up to height h, what’s the maximum horizontal distance you could throw it over level ground?
Mariana [72]
To answer this question, first we take note that the maximum height that can be reached by an object thrown straight up at a certain speed is calculated through the equation,
                            Hmax = v²sin²θ/2g
where v is the velocity, θ is the angle (in this case, 90°) and g is the gravitational constant. Since all are known except for v, we can then solve for v whichi s the initial velocity of the projectile. 

Once we have the value of v, we multiply this by the total time traveled by the projectile to solve for the value of the range (that is the total horizontal distance).

If a transformer has a primary with 100 V and fifty coils, and a secondary that yields 20 V, how many coils are on the secondary
melomori [17]
Ideally, if all the magnetic of one winding cuts the other winding, and there isn't any loss in the transformer core or the resistance of the wire, then the voltage across each winding is proportional to the number of turns in its coil.

If you apply 100 V to a winding of 50 turns, then a winding that yields 20 volts
must be wound with

(20/100) of 50 turns = 10 turns

Protons in an atomic nucleus are typically 10−15 m apart. what is the electric force (in n) of repulsion between nuclear protons
dybincka [34]
<span>The electric force is given by: 
 F = [ k*(q1)*(q2) ] / d^2 
 F = Electric force 
 k = Coulomb's constant 
 q1 = Charge of one proton 
 q2 = Charge of second proton 
 d = Distance between centers of mass 
 Values: 
 F = unknown 
 k = 8.98E 9 N-m^2/C^2 
 q1 = 1.6E-19 
 q2 = 1.6E-19 
 d = 1.0E-15 m 
 Insert values into F = [ k*(q1)*(q2) ] / d^2 
 F = [ (8.98E 9 N-m^2/C^2) * (1.6E-19) * (1.6E-19) ] / (1.0E-15 m)^2 
 F = </span>229.888 N
 answer
 the electric force of repulsion between nuclear protons is 229.888 N
