A college student holds a pail full of water by the handle and whirls it around in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The ra

dius of this circle is 1.2m. What is the minimum speed that the pail must have at the top of its circular motion if the water is not to spill out of the upside down pail?

The minimum speed of the water must be 3.4 m/s

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the water in the pail when it is at the top of its circular motion:

  • The force of gravity, mg, acting downward (where m is the mass of the water and g the acceleration of gravity)
  • The normal reaction, N also acting downward

Since the water is in circular motion, the net force must be equal to the centripetal force, so:

N+mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}

Where:

g=9.8 m/s^2

v is the speed of the pail

r = 1.2 m is the radius of the circle

The water starts to spill out when the normal reaction of the pail becomes zero:

N = 0

When this occurs, the equation becomes:

mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}

And substitutin the values of g and r, we find the minimum speed that the water must have in order not to spill out:

v=\sqrt{(9.8)(1.2)}=3.4 m/s

Two charges, X and Y, are placed along the x-axis. Charge X is +18 nC and is placed at x = 0. Charge Y is placed at a location o
Helen [10]

Answer:

Charge Z can be placed at <em>x</em> = -2.7 m or at <em>x</em> = 0.27 m.

Explanation:

The Coulomb force between two charges, Q_1 and Q_2, separated by a distance, d, is given

F = k\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}

<em>k</em> is a constant.

For the charge Z to be at equilibrium, the force exerted on it by charge X must be equal and opposite to the force exerted on it by charge Y.

It is to be placed along the <em>x</em>-axis. Hence, it is on the same line as charges X and Y.

Let the charge on Z be <em>Q</em>. It is positive.

Let the distance from charge X be <em>x m.</em> Then the distance from charge Y will be (0.60 - <em>x</em>) m.

Force due to charge X

F_X = k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2}

Force due to charge Y

F_Y = k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}

Since both forces are equal and opposite,

F_X = -F_Y

k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2} = -k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}

\dfrac{2}{x^2} = \dfrac{3}{(0.60-x)^2}

2(0.60-x)^2 = 3x^2

2(0.36-1.20x+x^2) = 3x^2

0.72-2.40x+2x^2 = 3x^2

x^2+2.40x-0.72 = 0

Applying the quadratic formula,

x = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{2.40^2 - (4)(1)(-0.72)}}{2} = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{8.64}}{2}

x = -2.7 or x = 0.27

Charge Z can be placed at <em>x</em> = -2.7 m or at <em>x</em> = 0.27 m

Think of a way you could demonstrate elastic force to a younger student. Describe the procedure you would follow and the materia
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

I feel like to demonstrate you would use an elastic band as the material. You obviously have to put force in order to see how far it stretches. From this you can also find about its resistance and durability

Also you have to make sure the distance between the two hands are equal as you want an accurate result.
