A Ping-Pong ball with mass 2.5 g is attached by a thread to the bottom of a beaker. When the beaker is filled with water so that

the ball is totally submerged, the tension in the thread is 0.029 N . 2.5 g Determine the diameter of the ball. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 .

Answer:

0.022m or 2.2cm

Expxlanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Mass (m) = 2.5g = 2.5/1000 = 2.5x10^-3Kg

Tension (T) = 0.029 N

Density (ρ) = 1000 kg/m3

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s2

Diameter (d) =?

Step 2:

Finding an expression to calculate the diameter of the ball. This is illustrated below:

Tension = weight displaced - weight of the ball

Weight displaced = Mass of water x acceleration due to gravity

Mass of water = Density x volume

Mass of water = ρxV

Weight displaced = ρxVxg = ρVg

Weight of the ball = Mass of the ball x acceleration due to gravity

Weight of the ball = mg

Therefore,

Tension = weight displaced - weight of the ball

T = ρVg - mg

Make V the subject of the formula

T = ρVg - mg

T + mg = ρVg

Divide both side by ρg

V = ( T + mg) /ρg. (1)

Recall that the ball is spherical in shape and the Volume of a sphere is given by

V = 4/3πr^3

Radius (r) = diameter (d) /2

V = 4/3π(d/2)^3

V = 4/3πd^3/8

V = πd^3 /6

Substituting the value of V into equation 1, we have

V = ( T + mg) /ρg

πd^3 /6 = ( T + mg) /ρg.

Making d the subject of the formula, we have:

πd^3 /6 = (T + mg) /ρg.

d^3 = 6(T + mg) /πρg.

Taking the cube root of both sides

d = [6(T + mg) /πρg]^1/3

Step 3:

Determination of the diameter of the ball. This is illustrated below:

T = 0.029 N

m = 2.5x10^-3Kg

g = 9.81 m/s2

ρ = 1000 kg/m3

d =?

d = [6(T + mg) /πρg]^1/3

d = [6(0.029 + 2.5x10^-3x9.81)/ πx1000x9.81]^1/3

d = 0.022m

Therefore, the diameter of the ball is 0.022m or 2.2cm

Kepler proposed the modern model of the solar system. <br> True or False

givi [52]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician and astrologer. He proposed a model of the solar system which remains in use, with some modifications. Moreover, he developed the laws of planetary motion which explain how the planets move around the sun. This work was not only significant on its own, but it also provided the foundations for Newton's theory of universal gravitation.

Answer:

1. 218.55 N

2. $30.96^{o}$

3. $2.1 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Part 1;

Net force $F=mg sin \theta$ where m is mass, g is gravitational force and $\theta$ is the angle of inclination

$F= 46*9.8*sin 29^{o}= 218.55N$

Frictional force, $F_{r}$ is given by

$F_{r} = \mu_{s}mg cos \theta$ where $\mu_{s}$ is the coefficient of static friction

$F_{r} = 0.6*46*9.8 cos 29$

$F_{r}=236.57N$

Since $F_{r}>F$ , therefore, the block doesn’t slip and the frictional force acting is mgh=218.55N

Part 2.

Using the relationship that

Frictional force $F_{s} = \mu_{s} mg cos \theta$

$mg sin \theta =\mu_{s} mg cos \theta$

$\mu_{s}= \frac {sin \theta}{cos \theta}$

$\mu_{s}= tan \theta$

The maximum angle of inclination $\theta = tan^{-1} \mu_{s}$

$\theta = tan^{-1} (0.6)$

$\theta= 30.96^{o}$

Part 3:

Net force on the object is given by

$ma = mg sin 38 - \mu_{k} mg cos 38$ where $\mu_{k}$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

$a = g ( sin 38 - \mu_{k} cos 38 )$

= 9.8 ( sin 38 - (0.51) cos 38 )

= $2.1m/s^{2}$

A cart of mass 6.0 kg moves with a speed of 3.0 m/s towards a second stationary cart with a mass of 3.0 kg. The carts move on a

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:1.5

Explanation:

Given

mass of first cart $m_1=6 kg$

initial Velocity $u_1=3 m/s$

mass of second cart $m_2=3 kg$

$u_2=0 m/s$

In the absence of External Force we can conserve momentum

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

$v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$v=\frac{6\times 3+3\times 0}{6+3}$

$v=2 m/s$

Final kinetic Energy of two masses

$K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2$

$K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (3+6)\cdot (2)^2$

$K.E._2=18 J$

Initial Kinetic Energy

$K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2$

$K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}6\times 3^2+0$

$K.E._1=27 J$

$ratio =\frac{K.E._1}{K.E._2}=\frac{27}{18}=1.5$
