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 proton, which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, can be modeled as a sphere with a diameter of 2.4 fm and a mass of 1.67 10-27
Step2247 [10]
For the answer to the question above asking to d<span>etermine the density of the proton. 
</span>Density is mass over volume. 

The volume of a sphere is 4πr³/3. r is half the diameter. 

So the density would be 2.3×10¹⁷ kg/m³. 
I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!

A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2
MArishka [77]
From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
                = 2×9.81×0.43
                = 8.4366
            u = √8.4366
               =2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
 Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
              = 2.905/9.81
              = 0.296 seconds

Explain the difference between the 7 parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
inn [45]

Answer:

The difference between the two is, well for one

Spectrum: The entire range that the "waves" could be such, as visible light, x-ray's and so on.

Waves: These are different because they aren't telling you or showing the entire spectrum just which they length that they are.

It may confuse you but it makes sense to me (Sorry)

Where is the distance on a position time graph
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The distance represents the difference of the first position and last position of the body.

Explanation:

For example, if y axis represents the position axis, and the first position is 3, second 9 we can see that the distance is a (positive) projection of one position into another. 9-3=6

Hope this helps.
