Answer:

Point C

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration ac is inversely proportional to radius of orbit so it is greatest at point C.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

207.4 N

Explanation:

The torque $\tau$ on a body is

$\tau = r* F$ where r is the radius vector from the point of rotation to the point at which force F is applied.

The product of r and F is equal to the product of magnitude of r and F multiplied by the sine of angle between both vectors.

Therefore, torque is also given by

$\tau = rF\sin \theta$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between r and F.

Use the expression of torque.

Substitute L for r in the equation $\tau = rF\sin \theta$

$\tau = LF\sin \theta$

Where L is the length of the wrench.

Making F the subject

$F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}$

Force required to pull the wrench is given as,

$F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}$

Substitute $47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}$ for $\tau$ , 25 cm for L, and 115o for $\theta$

$\begin{array}{c}\\F = \frac{{47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}}}{{\left( {25{\rm{ cm}}} \right)\sin {{115}^{\rm{o}}}}}\left( {\frac{{1{\rm{ cm}}}}{{{{10}^{ - 2}}{\rm{ m}}}}} \right)\\\\ = 207.435{\rm{ N}}\\\\ \approx 207.4{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$

A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 240 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are ref

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of sound wave = 240 Hz

Distance = 46.0 m

Distance of fork = 14 .0 m

We need to calculate the path difference

Using formula of path difference

$\Delta x=2(L_{2}-L_{1})$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta x =2((46.0-14.0)-14.0)$

$\Delta x=36\ m$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{343}{240}$

$\lambda=1.42\ m$

We need to calculate the phase difference

Using formula of the phase difference

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\times \delta x$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.42}\times36$

$\phi=159.29\ rad$

$\phi\approx 68.2^{\circ}$

Hence, The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

givi [52]

Answer:

2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given

distance = 20meters

time = 2 seconds

initial velocity u= 0m/s

let us solve for the final velocity

velocity = distance/time

velocity= 20/2

velocity= 10m/s

$v^2=u^2+2as\\\\10^2=0^2+2*a*20\\\\100=40a$

divide both sides by 40

$a= 100/40\\\\a=10/4\\\\a= 5/2\\\\a= 2.5m/s^2$
