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

.034 m. You wish the mass to have a kinetic energy of 13.0 Joules when released. How strong will the string need to be

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

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider
julia-pushkina [17]

There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude.  This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.

Kenneth ran a marathon (26.2 miles) in 5.5 hours. What was Kenneth's average speed? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.) 0.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

4.8 mph

Explanation:

From the question,

Average speed = total distance/total time

V = d/t....................... Equation 1

Where d = distance, t = time

Given: d = 26.2 miles, t = 5.5 hours.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 26.2/5.5

V = 4.76 mph

V ≈ 4.8 mph
