Answer:

0.60 N, towards the centre of the circle

Explanation:

The tension in the string acts as centripetal force to keep the ball in uniform circular motion. So we can write:

(1)

where

T is the tension

m = 0.015 kg is the mass of the ball

is the angular speed

r = 0.50 m is the radius of the circle

We know that the period of the ball is T = 0.70 s, so we can find the angular speed:

And by substituting into (1), we find the tension in the string:

And in an uniform circular motion, the centripetal force always points towards the centre of the circle, so in this case the tension points towards the centre of the circle.

X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce

Novay_Z [31]

X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.

A sample of a gas in a rigid container has an initial pressure of 5 atm at a temperature of 254.5 k. The temperature is decrease

skelet666 [1.2K]

The gas is in a rigid container: this means that its volume remains constant. Therefore, we can use Gay-Lussac law, which states that for a gas at constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. The law can be written as follows:

$\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}$

Where P1=5 atm is the initial pressure, T1=254.5 K is the initial temperature, P2 is the new pressure and T2=101.8 K is the new temperature. Re-arranging the equation and using the data of the problem, we can find P2:

$P_2 = T_2 \frac{P_1}{T_1}=(101.8 K) \frac{5 atm}{254.5 K}=2 atm$

So, the new pressure is 2 atm.
