Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 2.3 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.034 m, using a string of length 0

Answer:

T = 764.41 N

Explanation:

In this case the tension of the string is determined by the centripetal force. The formula to calculate the centripetal force is given by:

F_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}  (1)

m: mass object = 2.3 kg

r: radius of the circular orbit = 0.034 m

v: tangential speed of the object

However, it is necessary to calculate the velocity v first. To find v you use the formula for the kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

You have the value of the kinetic energy (13.0 J), then, you replace the values of K and m, and solve for v^2:

v^2=\frac{2K}{m}=\frac{2(13.0J)}{2.3kg}=11.3\frac{m^2}{s^2}

you replace this value of v in the equation (1). Also, you replace the values of r and m:

F_c=(2.3kg)(\frac{11.3m^2/s^2}{0.034})=764.41N

hence, the tension in the string must be T =  Fc = 764.41 N

Which of the following states that all matter tends to "warp" space in its vicinity and that objects react to this warping by ch
Natasha2012 [34]
There are no choices on the list you provided that make such a statement,
and it's difficult to understand what is meant by "the following".

That statement is one way to describe the approach to 'forces of gravity'
taken by the theory of Relativity.

A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

A car is brought to rest in a distance of 484m using a constant acceleration of -8.0m/s^2. What was the velocity of the car when
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

88 m/s

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the following SUVAT equation:

v^2-u^2=2ad

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the distance covered

For the car in this problem, we have

d = 484 m is the stopping distance

v = 0 is the final velocity

a=-8.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for u, we find the initial velocity:

u=\sqrt{v^2-2ad}=\sqrt{-2(8.0)(484)}=88 m/s
