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

The coefficient of kinetic friction between a suitcase and the floor is 0.272. You may want to review (Pages 196 - 203) . Part A
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The work required to push will be equal to work done by friction . Let  d be the displacement required .

force of friction = mg x μ where m is mass of the suitcase , μ be the coefficient of friction

work done by force of friction

mg x μ x d   = 660

80 x 9.8 x .272 x d = 660

d = 3 .1 m .

The built in flash in a compact camera is usally capable of giving correct exsposure for distance up to how many meters?
Brut [27]

Answer:

An on-camera flash is an indispensible accessory for many photographers; it provides additional light when conditions become too dark to handhold your camera comfortably, allows you to achieve more balanced exposures in daylight conditions, permits freezing of fast-moving subjects and can also be used to control or trigger other flash light sources. Additionally, a flash can be used as a highly effective creative tool to establish an aesthetic that elevates your imagery when lighting conditions are considered less than stellar. The benefits of an external on-camera flash far outweigh those provided by a built-in camera flash, while the only drawback is keeping an additional piece of equipment.

On-Camera Flash versus Off-Camera Flash versus In-Camera Flash

The term on-camera flash simply refers to a type of strobe light (flash) that can connect directly with your camera. While it is referred to as “on-camera” this does not require the flash to be physically mounted on your camera. On-camera flashes can, and often are, used off-camera. This differs from other strobe-light sources, such as studio pack strobes and monolights in that these types of strobes are not meant to be physically connected to your camera (except under rare and unusual circumstances involving convoluted methods of adaptation). Additionally, on-camera flashes usually have a self-contained power supply, although external power sources can sometimes be used to improve performance or battery life.

On-camera external flash also refers to the type of external flash that can be used on your camera, compared to a built-in flash that is integrated into many cameras. An on-camera external flash performs better than a built-in flash in almost every regard with the one exception that it is not built into your camera. The ability to take the flash off your camera results in a significantly greater number of lighting options; far more than simply providing a blast of flat light to the scene to facilitate an adequate exposure. It is often not desirable to have your flash pointed squarely at the scene at hand; more often than not you will want to bounce the flash light off other surfaces and point in other directions to control the look of your flash. When using an in-camera flash, you are forced to use the flash at the given angle from which it extends.

Most built-in flashes are also located near the camera lens, which can often result in the red-eye effect  when photographing subjects in dimly lit conditions. Red-eye occurs because pupils dilate in dim light, the built-in flash is aligned with the lens's optical axis, its beam enters the eye and reflects back at the camera from the retina at the rear of the eye, which is quite red. Being able to use an on-camera flash source off-camera, from a different angle, will help to eliminate the red-eye effect in your photographs of people.

Guide Numbers, Manual Usage, Controlling Flash Power and Sync Speeds

Before delving into the automatic technology that is contained within most contemporary flashes, it is best to understand how to manually control and grasp a flash’s power. This is directly related to having an understanding of exposure ratios—how shutter speeds and apertures affect and balance each other—even though auto-exposure metering is available and often utilized for determining the best exposure settings.

Why are moving iron instrument are of repulsion type
never [62]

Answer:

he spring provides the controlling torque. The air friction induces the damping torque, which opposes the movement of the coil. The repulsion type instrument is a non-polarized instrument, i.e., free from the direction of current passes through it. Thus, it is used for both AC and DC

A 4 cm diameter ball is located 40 cm from a point source and 80 cm from a wall. What is the size of the shadow on the wall?
Slav-nsk [51]
<span>11.823 cm There is a slight ambiguity with this question in that I don't know if the measurements are from the surface of the ball, or the center of the ball. I will take this question literally and as such the point light source will be 124 cm from the wall. The key thing to remember is that ball won't be showing an effective diameter of 4 cm to the light source. Instead the shadow line is a tangent to the ball's surface. There is a right triangle where the hypotenuse is the distance from the center of the ball to the light source (42 cm), one leg of the triangle is the radius (2cm). That right triangle will define a chord that will be the effective diameter of the disk casting the shadow. The cosine of the half angle of the chord will be 2/42 = 1/21. The sine of the half angle then becomes sqrt(1-(1/21)^2) = sqrt(440/441) = 2sqrt(110) = 0.99886557. Now multiply that sine by 4 (radius of ball multiplied by 2 since it's the half angle and we want the full side of the chord) and we get an effective diameter of 3.995462279 cm. Now we need to calculate the effective distance that circle is from the wall. It will be slightly larger than 82 cm. The exact value will be 82 + cos(half angle) * radius. So 82 + 1/21 * 2 = 82 + 2/21 = 82.0952381 Now we have the following dimensions with a circle replacing the ball in the original problem. Distance from wall to effective circle = 82.0952381 cm Distance from effective circle to point source = 124 - 82.0952381 = 41.9047619 cm Effective diameter of circle = 3.995462279 cm And because the geometry makes similar triangles, the following ratio applies. 3.995462279/41.9047619 = X/124 Now solve for X 3.995462279/41.9047619 = X/124 124*3.995462279/41.9047619 = X 495.4373226/41.9047619 = X 11.82293611 = X The shadow cast on the wall will be a circle with a diameter of 11.823 cm</span>
