A ball of mass m on a string of length L is attached to a pivot. The ball is released from rest while the string is parallel to

the floor. A bar is placed a distance d vertically below the pivot, such that when the string runs into the bar, it will wrap around the bar. Determine the minimum distance d the bar can be placed such that the ball successfully takes a circular path around the bar. Express your answer in terms of m, L, and physical constants.

Answer:

L/2

Explanation:

Neglect any air or other resistant, for the ball can wrap its string around the bar, it must rotate a full circle around the bar. This means the ball should be able to swing to the top position where it's directly above the bar. By the law of energy conservation, this happens when the ball is at the same level as where it's previously released vertically. It means the swinging radius around the bar must be at least half of the string length.

So the distance d between the bar and the pivot should be at least L/2

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In  closed organ pipe notes with odd harmonics are produced and in open organ pipe notes with all odd and even harmonics are produced. notes with frequencies 600, 800 and 1000 Hz are produced. These are 3 , 4 and 5 times 200 Hz. ie both odd and even times of 200 . So fundamental frequency appears to be 200 Hz. There is no note available between 800 and 1000. It also indicates that 200 Hz is the fundamental frequency and the pipe is open at both ends.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

A steady decline in driving ability

Explanation:

Alcohol consumption impairs the functioning of the central nervous system. The impairment can range from mood improvement to unconsciousness. As the blood alcohol level (BAL) rises the impairment gets severe. Driving is a complex task that requires the central nervous system to function properly.

Any impairment to the central nervous system leads to a decline in driving activity.

A brick is dropped with zero initial speed from the roof of a building and strikes the ground in 1.90 s. How tall is the buildin
irinina [24]

Answer:

17.69 m

Explanation:

The time it takes the brick to strike the ground is 1.90 seconds.

We can apply one of Newton's equation of linear motion to find the height of the building:

s = ut + 0.5gt^2

where s = distance (in this case height)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s

t = time = 1.90 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore:

s = (0 * 1.9) + (0.5 * 9.8 * 1.9 * 1.9)

s = 0 + 17.68

s = 17.69 m

The height of the building is 17.69 m.

A top of rotational inertia 4.0 kg m2 receives a torque of 2.4 nm from a physics professor. the angular acceleration of the body
Tanzania [10]

Angular acceleration is simply the ratio of the Torque over the rotation inertia, that is:

Angular acceleration = Torque / Rotational inertia

 

So substituting the values:

Angular acceleration = 2.4 N m / 4.0 kg m2

<span>Angular acceleration = 0.7 rad/s^2</span>
