A steel ball with mass m is suspended from the ceiling at the bottom end of a light, 17.0-m-long rope. The ball swings back and

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

1. 18.25 m/s

2. 0 m/s

Explanation:

1.So the centripetal acceleration of the ball at this lowest point must be, taking gravity into account

$a_c = \frac{T - mg}{m} = \frac{3mg - mg}{m} = 2g$

The speed at this point would then be

$v^2 = a_c r = 2gr = 2*9.8*17 = 333.2$

$v = \sqrt{333.2} = 18.25 m/s$

2. Similarly, if T = mg, then the centripetal acceleration must be

$a_c = \frac{T - mg}{m} = \frac{mg - mg}{m} = 0$

As the ball has no centripetal acceleration, its speed must also be 0 as well.

During the power stroke energy released by combustion generates the force that:_______.

Inessa05 [86]

Explanation:

An IC engines means an Internal Combustion engine. Here, the combustion takes place in side a chamber or a cylinder internally, hence it is known as internal combustion engine.

Combustion is the process where oxygen reacts with the fuel and it burns to produce a large amount of force and heat. In each revolution of the crank, the engine creates a power stroke when the piston goes from the bottom dead center to the top dead center.

During each power stroke, the energy released forces the piston down and the crankshaft is rotated.

The total electrostatic force on charge A is $28 \mu N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

Here we have three positively charged particles A,B and C, located at the following positions:

$x_A = 0\\x_B = 10 m\\x_C = 20 m$

The magnitudes of the three charges are:

$q_A = q_B = q_C = 0.5 \mu C = 0.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$

The force exerted by B on A is to the left (because the force between two positive charges is repulsive), and the force exerted by C on A is also to the left (also repulsive). Therefore, the net force on A is just the sum of the two forces exerted by charges B and C:

$F_A = F_{BA} + F_{CA} = k\frac{q_B q_A}{(x_B-x_A)^2}+k\frac{q_C q_A}{(x_C-x_A)^2}=\\=(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(0.5\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{(10)^2}+(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(0.5\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{(20)^2}=2.8\cdot 10^{-5} N = 28 \mu N$
