8 N. (a) Find the child's speed at the lowest point. m/s (b) Find the force exerted by the seat on the child at the lowest point. (Ignore the mass of the seat.) N (upward)

Answer:

V = 4.826m/s, 716N

Explanation:

At the lowest swinging point, the net force acting on the child is equal to the centripetal force and it could be represented as

F = mv^2/r

2T-mg =mv^2/r

r(2T-mg) = mv^2

Divide both sides by m

r(2T-mg)/m = mv^2/m

r(2T/m-g) = v^2

V= √ r(2T/m-g)

Where v is the velocity

r is the length of the chain

m is the mass of the child in kg

T is the tension in Newton

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given that g = 9.8m/s^2

T = 358N

m = 41.0kg

r = 3.04m

Substituting the values into the formula

V = √ 3.04( 2*358/41 -9.89

V = √ 3.04 ( 716/41 - 9.8 )

V = √3.04 ( 17.463-9.8 )

V = √3.04( 7.6634)

V = √23.2967

V = 4.826m/s

For the second part which is the tension in the two chains

N - m*g = m*(v^2 / r)

N - (41)*(9.81) = (41)*(4.826^2 / 3.04)

N - 402.21 = 41×7.66

N - 402.21 = 314.112

N = 402.21 + 314.112

N = 716.332 newton

Approximately = 716N

Or alternatively, since there are two chains holding the swing, of which each chain is acted upon by a 358N tension. Hence = 2T

2*358 = 716N

(a) Write an equation describing a sinusoidal transverse wave traveling on a cord in the positive of a y axis with an angular wa

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Missing data: the wave number

$k=60 cm^{-1}$

(a) $z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)$

For a transverse wave travelling in the positive y-direction and with vibration along the z-direction, the equation of the wave is

$z = A sin (ky-\omega t)$

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

k is the wave number

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

t is the time

In this situation:

A = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m is the amplitude

$k = 60 cm^{-1} = 6000 m^{-1}$ is the wave number

$T = 0.20 s$ is the period, so the angular frequency is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.20}=31.4 rad/s$

So, the wave equation (in meters) is

$z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)$

(b) 0.094 m/s

For a transverse wave, the transverse speed is equal to the derivative of the displacement of the wave, so in this case:

$v_t = z' = -A \omega cos (ky-\omega t)$

So the maximum transverse wave occurs when the cosine term is equal to 1, therefore the maximum transverse speed must be

$v_{t}_{max} =\omega A$

where

$\omega = 31.4 rad/s\\A = 0.003 m$

Substituting,

$v_{t}_{max}=(31.4)(0.003)=0.094 m/s$

(c) 5.24 mm/s

The wave speed is given by

$v=f \lambda$

where

f is the frequency of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

The frequency can be found from the angular frequency:

$f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{31.4}{2\pi}=5 Hz$

While the wavelength can be found from the wave number:

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{6000}=1.05\cdot 10^{-3} m$

Therefore, the wave speed is

$v=(5)(1.05\cdot 10^{-3} )=5.24 \cdot 10^{-3} m/s = 5.24 mm/s$

A new planet has been discovered and given the name Planet X . The mass of Planet X is estimated to be one-half that of Earth, a

harina [27]

Answer:

vₐ = v_c $( \ 1 + \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{\Delta M}{M} - \frac{\Delta R}{R}) \ )$

Explanation:

To calculate the escape velocity let's use the conservation of energy

starting point. On the surface of the planet

Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v_c² - G Mm / R

final point. At a very distant point

Em_f = U = - G Mm / R₂

energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_f

½ m v_c² - G Mm / R = - G Mm / R₂

v_c² = 2 G M (1 /R - 1 /R₂)

if we consider the speed so that it reaches an infinite position R₂ = ∞

v_c = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

now indicates that the mass and radius of the planet changes slightly

M ’= M + ΔM = M ( $1+ \frac{\Delta M}{M}$ )

R ’= R + ΔR = R ( $1 + \frac{\Delta R}{R}$ )

we substitute

vₐ = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} } \ \frac{\sqrt{1+ \frac{\Delta M}{M} } }{ \sqrt{1+ \frac{ \Delta R}{R} } }$

let's use a serial expansion

√(1 ±x) = 1 ± ½ x +…

we substitute

vₐ = v_ c ( $(1 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta M}{M} ) \ ( 1 - \frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta R}{R} )$ )

we make the product and keep the terms linear

vₐ = v_c $( \ 1 + \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{\Delta M}{M} - \frac{\Delta R}{R}) \ )$

The weight of a body of certain mass becomes zero in space.why?write with reasons

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Weight is what you get when a certain amount of gravity is acting on that mass, and something, like the surface of a planet, is resisting that action. In space, when falling freely, there's nothing resisting the pull of gravity so weight disappears. Mass however stays.
