Answer:

a) Centripetal force is 482.79 N towards center.

b) Centripetal force is 17.37 N towards center.

c) First centripetal force is 482.79 N which is greater than weight of 215.82 N

   First centripetal force is 17.37 N which is less than weight of 215.82 N

Explanation:

Centripetal force is given by the expression, F = mrω², m is the mass, r is the radius and ω is the angular velocity,

a) Mass, m = 22 kg

   Radius, r = 1.25 m

   Angular speed , ω = 40 rev /min = 4.19 rad/s

  Substituting

                     F = mrω²

                    F = 22 x 1.25 x 4.19² = 482.79 N

   Centripetal force is 482.79 N towards center.

b) Mass, m = 22 kg

   Radius, r = 8 m

   Angular speed , ω = 3 rev /min = 0.314 rad/s

  Substituting

                     F = mrω²

                    F = 22 x 8 x 0.314² = 17.37 N

   Centripetal force is 17.37 N towards center.

c) Weight = mg = 22 x 9.81 = 215.82 N

   First centripetal force is 482.79 N which is greater than weight of 215.82 N

   First centripetal force is 17.37 N which is less than weight of 215.82 N

Which of the following statements about an apple falling from a tree is true? A) Its kinetic energy decreases and its potential
xenn [34]
Your answer would be B because potential energy is an object's potential to move while kinetic energy is the energy of the object in motion. So if the apple is falling, then the potential energy would decrease and its kinetic energy would increase. 

Hope this helps :)

Calculate the gravitational force between a 10 kg ball and 20 kg ball
elena-s [515]

Answer:

5.34\cdot 10^{-10} N

Explanation:

The gravitational force is an attractive force exerted between any objects with mass.

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, we have:

m_1 = 10 kg is the mass of the 1st ball

m_2 = 20 kg is the mass of the 2nd ball

r = 5 m is the separation

So, the gravitational force between them is

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(20)}{5^2}=5.34\cdot 10^{-10} N

A Horizontal rifel is fired at a bull's-eye. The muzzle
12345 [234]

Answer:

The horizontal distance is 478.38 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Initial Speed of the bullet in horizontal direction, v_{x} = 670 m/s

Initial vertical velocity of the bullet, v_{y} = 0 m/s

Vertical distance, y = 0.025 m

Now, for the horizontal distance, 'x':

We first calculate time, t:

y = v_{y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

(since, motion is vertically downwards under the action of 'g')

0.025 = 0 - \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^{2}

t = \sqrt{0.05}{9.8} = 0.0714 s

Now, the horizontal distance, x:

x = v_{x}t + \frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}

x = v_{x}t + \frac{1}{2}0.t^{2}

(since, the horizontal acceleration will always be 0)

x = 670\times 0.714 = 478.38 m
