Wow ! This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.
The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is
(speed-squared) / (radius of the circle) .
Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.
We know the radius of the track. We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out. That's what we
need to do first.
Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).
Distance = 10 laps of the track. Well how far is that ? ? ?
1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) = 2.4π meters
10 laps = 24π meters.
Time = 1 minute 20 seconds = 80 seconds
The trains speed is (distance) / (time)
= (24π meters) / (80 seconds)
= 0.3 π meters/second .
NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.
<span> (speed)² / (radius)
= (0.3π m/s)² / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π m²/s²) / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π / 1.2) m/s²
= 0.236 m/s² . (rounded)
If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...
Well, Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .
We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force. </span>
Density is given by:
D = M/V
D = density, M = mass, V = volume
Given values:
M = 3.7g, V = 4.6cm³
Plug in and solve for D:
D = 3.7/4.6
D = 0.80g/cm³
Answer:
Properties of semiconductors are determined by the energy gap between valence and conduction bands. To understand, what is semiconductor, we have to define these terms. In solid-state physics, the energy gap or the band gap is an energy range between valence band and conduction band where electron states are forbidden.
Answer:
Explanation:
Give that,
Spring constant (k)=40N/m
Force applied =75N
Since the force is applied to the right, we don't know if it is compressing or stretching the spring
So let assume it compress
Using hooke's law
F=-ke
e=-F/k
Then, e=-75/40
e=-1.875m
The deformation is 1.875m.
Let assume it stretch
Using hooke's law
-F=-ke
e=F/k
Then, e=75/40
e=1.875m
The elongation is 1.875m
Answer:
M = 222 fringes
Explanation:
given
λ = 559 n m = 559 × 10⁻⁹ m
radius = 0.026 mm = 0.026 ×10⁻³ m
length of the glass plate = 22.1 ×10⁻² m
using relation
= 221.79
= 221 (approx.)
hence no of bright fringe
M = m + 1
= 221 +1
M = 222 fringes
