Answer:

A) v = 7 m/s

B) T = 8.526N

Explanation:

A) From work energy theorem, we know that;

K1 + U1 + W_other = K2 + U2

Where;

K1 and K2 are initial and final kinetic energy respectively while U1 and U2 are initial and final potential energy respectively.

Now, since the tension in the rope is always perpendicular to the direction of motion, W_other will be zero.

Also, since the potato started from rest, initial kinetic energy will be zero.

Also, since the potato ends at the zero potential level, final potential energy is zero.

Thus, we now have;

U1 = K2

We know that

Potential Energy = mgh

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

Thus, mgh = (1/2)mv²

m will cancel out and we have;

gh = (1/2)v²

Making v the subject;

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √2 x 9.8 x 2.5

v = √49

v = 7 m/s

B) Since the potato is in uniform circular motion at any point in it's part, it's acceleration is given by;

Angular acceleration; α = v²/R

Now taking the sum of forces at this point, and along the radial direction, if we apply Newton's second law of motion, we'll obtain;

Σ_f = T - W = F_rad

Where;

T is tension in spring,

W is weight = mg

F_rad is normal radial force = mα

Thus, we now have;

Σ_f = T - mg = mα

Now, from earlier, α = v²/R

Thus, T - mg = m(v²/R)

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

T - (0.29 x 9.8) = 0.29x(7²/2.5)

T - 2.842 = 5.684

T = 5.684 + 2.842

T = 8.526N

Answer:

A) The speed of the potato at the lowest point of its motion is 7.004 m/s

B) The tension on the string at this point is 8.5347 N

Explanation:

Here we have that the height from which the potato is allowed to swing  is 2.5 m

Therefore we have ω₂² = ω₁² + 2α(θ₂ - θ₁)

Where:

ω₂ = Final angular velocity

ω₁ = Initial angular velocity = 0 rad/s

α = Angular acceleration

θ₂ = Final angle position

θ₁ = Initial angle position

However, we have potential energy of the potato

= Mass m×Gravity g× Height h

= 0.29×9.81×2.5 = 7.1125 J

At he bottom of the swing, the potential energy will convert to kinetic energy as follows

K.E. = P.E. = 7.1125 J

1/2·m·v² = 7.1125 J

Therefore,

v² = 7.1125 J/(1/2×m) = 7.1125 J/(1/2×0.290) = 49.05

∴ v = √49.05 = 7.004 m/s

B) Here we have the tension given by

Tension T in the string = weight of potato + Radial force of motion

Weight of potato = mass of potato × gravity

Radial force of motion of potato = mass of potato × α,

where α = Angular acceleration = v²/r and r = length of the string

∴ Tension T in the string = m×g + m×v²/r = 0.290×(9.81 + 7.004²/2.5)

T = 8.5347 N

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

a) i = -9.63 cm ,    h ’= .0.24075 cm   erect

b)  i = 259.74 cm ,

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by finding the focal length of the lens

               1 / f = (n-1) (1 / R₁ - 1 / R₂)

                1 / f = (1.70 -1)) 1 / ∞ - 1/13)

                1 / f = 0.0538

                 f = - 18.57 cm

Now we can use the constructor equation

             1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

             1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o

              1 / i = -1 / 18.57 -1/20

               1 / i = -0.1038 cm

               I = -9.63 cm

For the height of the

image let's use magnification

                 m = h '/ h = - i / o

                  h ’= -h i / o

                  h ’= - 0.5 (-9.63) / 20

                  h ’= .0.24075 cm

b) we invert the lens

The focal length is

             1 / f = (1.70 -1) (1/13 - 1 / int)

              1 / f = 0.0538

             f = 18.57 cm

             1 / i = 1 / f -1 / o

             1 / I = 1 / 18.57 - 1/20

             1 / I = 3.85 10-3

             i = 259.74 cm

     

            h ’= - 0.5 259.74 / 20

             h ’= 6.4935 cm

The position of a certain airplane during takeoff is given by x=1/2 *bt2, where b = 2.0 m/s2 and t = 0 corresponds to the instan
Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s

Nuclear fission formula by the looks of it. Possibly how Professor Lisa Meitner realised that she had split the atomic nucleus. The Xenon and the Strontium (Xe and Sr) would presumably show up in a radio chemical assaying test at her university. 
A few years later, Professor J Robert Oppenheimer watched a nuclear test somewhere near Los Alamos, US and lamented "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Shortly thereafter, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground and annihilated by nuclear bombs. Professor Meitner, probably inadvertently, had got the keys to the doors to "nuclear hell", and JRO ended up turning them. Something like that maybe, and a very harrowing and tumultuous period in human history.
Note in the fission equation, that out come two neutrons. They go off and produce a similar fission in another U235 nucleus into a chain reaction which, i not moderated by, say, Boron, can end up as a "mushroom cloud".
