A ball on a string is swung around in a horizontal circle. The centripetal force

Physics

ivanzaharov [21]3 years ago
5 0

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.

If the earth's rotation axis was tilted by 45 degrees instead of 23.5 degrees, how would that affect the climate of the earth? w
Crank
Changing the tilt of the axis from 23 degrees to 45 degrees would dramatically change the seasons. They would be more extreme. Increasing the tilt angle means a larger section of the earth would experience one season for a longer period. There would be longer and colder winters and likewise hotter and longer summers.

The Gulf Stream off the east coast of the United States can flow at a rapid 3.9 m/s to the north. A ship in this current has a c
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

72.54 degree west of south

Explanation:

flow = 3.9 m/s north

speed = 11 m/s

to find out

point due west from the current position

solution

we know here water is flowing north and ship must go south at an equal rate so that the velocities cancel and the ship just goes west

so it become like triangle with 3.3 point down and the hypotenuse is 11

so by triangle

hypotenuse ×cos(angle) = adjacent side

11 ×cos(angle) = 3.3

cos(angle) = 0.3

angle = 72.54 degree west of south

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that can travel through air. Would you expect sound waves to travel faster through a low-dens
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Sound waves travel faster in a low-density gas

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that sound waves are pressure waves: they consist of oscillations of the particles in a medium, which oscillate back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave (longitudinal wave).

The speed of sound in an ideal gas is given by the equation

v=\sqrt{\gamma \frac{p}{\rho}}

where

\gamma is the adiabatic index of the gas

p is the gas pressure

\rho is the gas density

From the equation, we see that the speed of sound is inversely proportional to the square root of the density: therefore, the lower the density, the faster the sound waves.

So, sound waves will travel faster in a low-density gas.
