Answer:

v = √160 m/s

v ≈ 12.65 m/s

Explanation:

KE = ½mv²

v = √(2KE/m)

v = √(2(400000)/5000)

v = √160 m/s

A student swings a container of water in a vertical circle of radius 1.0 m. Calculate the minimum speed of the container so that

12345 [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration requirement must equal gravity at the top of the circle

mg = mv²/R

v = √Rg

v = √(1.0(9.8))

v = 3.1304951...

v = 3.1 m/s

Explain what the star looks like to Jane

S_A_V [24]

The star looks like a desirable hunk of masculinity to Jane. But to John, the star looks like a wimpy momma's boy who might compete with him for Jane's attention. Jane and John have different impressions of the star because of their gender-specific instincts that have evolved during thousands of millenia of human evolution.

What average force is needed to accelerate a 7.00-gram pellet from rest to 155 m/s over a distance of 0.600 m along the barrel o

leonid [27]

Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.

Explanation:

The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.

The force exerted on the pellet is

F = m a

In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\implies a=\frac{2d}{t^2}$

we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:

$\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2}(v_{end}-v_{start})=\frac{1}{2}(155-0)\frac{m}{s}=77.5\frac{m}{s}$

This value can be used to determine the time for the pellet through the barrel:

$t = \frac{d}{\overline{v}}=\frac{0.6m}{77.5\frac{m}{s}}\approx0.00774s$

Finally, we can use the above to calculate the force:

$F = ma = m\frac{2d}{t^2} = 0.007kg\cdot \frac{2\cdot 0.6 m}{0.00774^2 s^2}\approx 140.22N$
