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

Reflected light from a thin film of oil gives constructive interference for light with a wavelength inside the film of λfilm. By
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:D. λfilm/4

Explanation: Destructive interference is a type of wave interference which means the coming together or over-lapping of two opposing waves creating No effect or the Cancellation of the wave impact. An example of destructive wave is when Noise cancel the effect of sound from a head phone.

The film thickness will need to be increased by λfilm/4 for it to be able to give a destructive interference.

If the elevation in reservoir b is 100m, what must the elevation in reservoir a be if thevolume flow rate through the cast-iron
Zinaida [17]

The elevation in reservoir  at  the rate of flow using is 03m/s  is 114m.

The Reynolds range is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. The Reynolds variety is a dimensionless variety used to categorize the fluids structures in which the impact of viscosity is crucial in controlling the velocities or the flow sample of a fluid.

The reason of the Reynolds number is to get a few experience of the relationship in fluid glide between inertial forces (this is those that maintain going by using Newton's first law – an item in motion stays in movement) and viscous forces, this is people who cause the fluid to come back to a forestall because of the viscosity of the fluid.

calculation,

Let L = 100 m pipe

     L1 = 150 m pipe

H f = friction losses

Using Reynolds number, relative  roughness, friction co- effiicients and friction losses

Substitute the value in equation

Z = 110= 0.48= 3.54

Z = 114m

Therefore water surface elevation at reservoir  is 114 meter.
