Answer:

a = 4/9  m/s^2  

Explanation:

We use the kinematics formula for distance (d) covered i accelerated motion:

d = vi t + (1/2) a t^2

and replace d= 2,  t = 3 and vi = 0 as per the information given:

2 = (1/2) a (3)^2

2 = (1/2) a (9)

a = 4 / 9 m/s^2

The take-up reel of a cassette tape has an average radius of 1.5 cm. Find the length of tape (in meters) that passes around the
Rudik [331]

Answer:

 1.28 m

Explanation:

Given;

Radius, r = 1.5 cm =  0.015 m

Time, t = 19 s

Average angular speed = 4.5 rad/s

Consider a point when the tape is moving at a constant velocity along the circumference of the circular reel of radius  r. The linear velocity  v at this point is given by;

                                      v = rω                           ----(1)

Where

v is the linear velocity of the circular motion

r is the radius of the reel

ω is the the angular velocity.

At a point the tap undergoes a linear motion before passing round the reel of the cassette. The linear velocity v at this point is given by;

                                v = L/t                          ----(2)

where;

v is the velocity of the linear motion

L is the length of the tape (distance covered by the tape)

t is the time taken

Equating equation(1) and equation (2)

                       L/t = rω

                       L = rωt

Substituting the given values,

                       L = 0.015 × 4.5 × 19

                       L = 1.2825 m

                       L = 1.28 m

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Fs = 32N

Fh = 21 N

Explanation:

Statics

Let Fs be the force of the shoulder, assumed upward

Let Fh be the force of the hand, assumed downward

Sum moments about the hand to zero

1.1(9.8)[67] - Fs[22.5] = 0

Fs = 32N

Sum vertical forces to zero

32 - Fh - 1.1(9.8) = 0

Fh = 21 N

Or we could sum moments about the shoulder point

1.1(9.8)[67 - 22.5] - Fh[22.5] = 0

Fh = 21 N

What is the magnetic field strength required to make a proton with a speed of 5.0 x 10^(5) m/s follow a circular path of radius
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Magnetic field strength required for this is 0.25 T

Explanation:

As we know that the proton moves in circular path in uniform magnetic field

so the radius of the path of the circle is given as

R = \frac{mv}{qB}

here we know that

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}C

m = 1.6 \times 10^{-27} kg

R = 0.0200 m

v = 5 \times 10^5 m/s

now we have

B = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-27} (5 \times 10^5)}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.02)}

so we have

B = 0.25 T
