Rony fills a bucket with water and whirls it in a vertical circle to demonstrate that the water will not spill from the bucket a

t the top of the loop. If the length of the rope from his hand to the centre of the bucket is 1.24 m, what is the minimum tension in the rope (at the top of the swing)? How slow can he swing the bucket? Explain your answer.

Answer:

0 N, 3.49 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for the bucket at the top of the swing.  There are two forces acting on the bucket: weight and tension, both downwards.

If we take the sum of the forces in the radial direction, where towards the center is positive:

∑F = ma

W + T = m v² / r

The higher the velocity that Rony swings the bucket, the more tension there will be.  The slowest he can swing it is when the tension is 0.

W = m v² / r

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 1.24 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.24 m)

v = 3.49 m/s

A displacement vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north. What are the components of this vector? Northward
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A)  29.4 m 17.0 m; B) 2 m

Explanation:

If a vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north (which means 30.0° over the horizontal), then its coordinates will be:

Horizontal: (34.0 m)cos(30.0°)=29.4 m

Vertical: (34.0 m)sin(30.0°)=17 m

If one person walks 8.0 meters in a straight line and then walks 5.0 meters in another straight line, then the minimum displacement would be to go back over his tracks, displacing himself 8m-5m=3m, while the maximum displacement would be going straight ahead, displacing himself 8m+5m=13m. Any answer outside this interval is impossible (2m).

Give an example of a compound machine. Explain how at least two simple machines are part of the complex machine. Thank you !!
kaheart [24]

A compound machine is a combination of at least two simple machines. Simple machines can be a lever, a wedge, a while + axle, an incline plane, a pulley, and a screw.

There are many examples of compound machines. One of them is a showel that combines a wedge (the scoop part of shovel) and a lever (the handle to transfer the force to lift).

A much more complex compound machine is a bicycle, comprising simple machines ranging from wheels and axles, to screws, and levers (think of the pedals).

Find the de broglie wavelength of an electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom.
HACTEHA [7]

de Broglie wavelength (λ) is given by the equation

λ = h/p

where h=Planck’s constant whose value is 6.62 x 10^(−34) joule-seconds and

p = momentum of the particle(here electron)

In terms of kinetic energy(E) momentum(p) can be written as,

p=(2mE)^1/2

where m=mass of the particle.

Hence λ becomes

1 λ = h(2mE)^-1/2

Given here, E = 13.6 eV = 13.6×1.6×10^-19 joule

m(mass of electron)= 9.1×10^-31 kg

Putting these values in equation (1) we get ,

λ =0.332×10^(-9) meter

=3.32×10^(-10) meter

=3.32 Å
