A building is being knocked down with a wrecking ball, which is a big metal sphere that swings on a 15-m-long cable. You are (un

wisely!) standing directly beneath the point from which the wrecking ball is hung when you notice that the ball has just been released and is swinging directly toward you.

Answer:

1.9 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Length of cable=l=15 m

We have to find the time you have to move out of the way.

We know that

Time period,T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Where g=9.8m/s^2

By using the formula

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{15}{9.8}}

T=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{15}{9.8}}=7.77 s

Time you have to move out

t=\frac{T}{4}=\frac{7.77}{4}=1.9 s

Hence,time you have to move out of the way=7.77 s

An object of mass 100 kg is accelerated uniformly from a velocity of 5 ms–1
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Initial velocity of the object, u = 5 m/s

Final velocity of the object, v = 8 m/s

Mass of the object, m = 100 kg

Time take by the object to accelerate, t = 6 s

Initial momentum = mu = 100 — 5 = 500 kg m sˆ’1

Final momentum = mv = 100 — 8 = 800 kg m sˆ’1

Force exerted on the object, F = mv – mu / t

= m (v-u) / t

= 800 – 500

= 300 / 6

= 50 N

Initial momentum of the object is 500 kg m sˆ’1.

Final momentum of the object is 800 kg m sˆ’1.

Force exerted on the object is 50 N.

What is the net force acting on a falling object when it reaches terminal velocity? a force equal to gravity 9.8 m/s2 two times
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The net force is zero

Explanation:

When an object is falling, there are two forces acting on it:

- The force of gravity, which is equal to the weight of the object, which pushes the object downwards

- The air resistance, which acts against the motion of the object, so it pulls upward

While the magnitude of the force of gravity is constant, the magnitude of the air resistance increases as the velocity of the falling object increases: at some point of the motion, the air resistance becomes equal in magnitude to the force of gravity. At this point, the net force on the object becomes zero, and according to Newton's second law, the acceleration of the object becomes also zero:

F=ma

But zero acceleration means that the velocity of the object is now constant: this is known as terminal velocity.

Distinguish between directly proportional and inversely proportional with an example of each
RideAnS [48]

Consider two variables said to be "inversely proportional" to each other. If all other variables are held constant, the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases, while their product (the constant of proportionality k) is always the same.

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel-plate capacitor. If the distance across the plate is 2.0 m
ddd [48]

Answer:

Velocity of electron will be 1.325\times 10^6m/sec

Explanation:

We have given distance across the plate d = 2 mm =2\times 10^{-3}m

Potential difference V = 6 volt

We know that potential difference at any distance is given by

V = Ed , here V is potential difference, E is electric field and d  is distance

So E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{6}{2\times 10^{-3}}=3000N/C

Charge on electron e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

We know that expression of velocity is given by v=\sqrt{\frac{2qEd}{m_e}}, here q is charge on electron, E is electric field and d is distance

So v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3000\times 3000}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}=1.325\times 10^6m/sec
