B. 1.5 m/s2
C. 6 m/s2
D. 12 m/s2

Answer:

1.5 m/s2

Explanation:

Gizmo Explanation: The acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is inversely proportional to the radius of the motion. This means that, if the radius is multiplied by a number, the acceleration is divided by that same number. In this case, the radius of the path doubles, from 5 m to 10 m. From this you can conclude that the acceleration must be half of the original value, or 1.5 m/s2.

A train at a constant 79.0 km/h moves east for 27.0 min, then in a direction 50.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Magnitude of avg velocity, $|v_{avg}| = 18.9 km/h$

$\theta' = 56.85^{\circ}$

Given:

Constant speed of train, v = 79 km/h

Time taken in East direction, t = 27 min = $\frac{27}{60} h$

Angle, $\theta = 50^{\circ}$

Time taken in $50^{\circ}$ east of due North direction, t' = 29 min = $\frac{29}{60} h$

Time taken in west direction, t'' = 37 min = $\frac{27}{60} h$

Solution:

Now, the displacement, 's' in east direction is given by:

$\vec{s} = vt = 79\times \frac{27}{60} = 35.5\hat{i} km$

Displacement in $50^{\circ}$ east of due North for 29.0 min is given by:

$\vec{s'} = vt'sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + vt'cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}$

$\vec{s'} = 79(\frac{29}{60})sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + 79(\frac{29}{60})cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}$

$\vec{s'} = 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km$

Now, displacement in the west direction for 37 min:

$\vec{s''} = - vt''hat{i} = - 79\frac{37}{60} = - 48.72\hat{i} km$

Now, the overall displacement,

$\vec{s_{net}} = \vec{s} + \vec{s'} + \vec{s''}$

$\vec{s_{net}} = 35.5\hat{i} + 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} - 48.72\hat{i}$

$\vec{s_{net}} = 16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km$

(a) Now, average velocity, $v_{avg}$ is given:

$v_{avg} = \frac{total displacement, \vec{s_{net}}}{total time, t}$

$v_{avg} = \frac{16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j}}{\frac{27 + 29 + 37}{60}}$

$v_{avg} = 10.34\hat{i} + 15.83\hat{j}) km/h$

Magnitude of avg velocity is given by:

$|v_{avg}| = \sqrt{(10.34)^{2} + (15.83)^{2}} = 18.9 km/h$

(b) angle can be calculated as:

$tan\theta' = \frac{15.83}{10.34}$

$\theta' = tan^{- 1}\frac{15.83}{10.34} = 56.85^{\circ}$

Two 84.5 g ice cubes are dropped into 30 g of water in a glass. If the water is initially at a temperature of 50 C and if the ic

Setler [38]

Answer:

final temperature will be 0 degree C

Total amount of ice will be

$m_{ice} = 182 g$

total amount of water

$m_{water} = 17 g$

Explanation:

After thermal equilibrium is achieved we can say that

Heat given by water = heat absorbed by ice cubes

so we will have

Heat given by water to reach 0 degree C

$Q_1 = m_1s_1 \Delta T_1$

$Q_1 = 0.030(4186)(50 - 0)$

$Q_1 = 6279 J$

heat absorbed by ice cubes to reach 0 degree

$Q_2 = m_2 s_2 \Delta T_2$

$Q_2 = (0.169)(2100)(30)$

$Q_2 = 10647 J$

so we will have

$Q_2 > Q_1$

so here we can say that few amount of water will freeze here to balance the heat

$10647 - 6279 = mL$

$m = \frac{10647 - 6279}{335000}$

$m = 13 g$

so final temperature will be 0 degree C

Total amount of ice will be

$m_{ice} = 84.5 + 84.5 + 13$

$m_{ice} = 182 g$

total amount of water

$m_{water} = 30 - 13$

$m_{water} = 17 g$
