You hold a bucket in one hand. In the bucket is a 500 g rock. You swing the bucket so the rock moves in a vertical circle 2.2 m

slavikrds [6]

Answer:v=3.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock $m=500 gm$

diameter of circle $d=2.2 m$

radius $r=\frac{2.2}{2}=1.1 m$

At highest Point

$mg+N=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

At highest Point N=0 because mass is just balanced by centripetal Force

thus $mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{gr}$

$v=\sqrt{9.8\times 1.1}$

$v=\sqrt{10.78}$

$v=3.28 m/s$

A charged particle moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field.Which of the following would increase the period of the

Bond [772]

Answer:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

Explanation:

For a charged particle moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field, the centripetal force is provided by the magnetic force, so we can write:

$qvB = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

m is the mass

r is the radius of the orbit

The period of the motion is

$T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}$

Re-arranging for r

$r=\frac{Tv}{2\pi}$

And substituting into the previous equation

$qvB = m \frac{Tv^3}{2\pi}$

Solving for T,

$T=\frac{2\pi q B}{m v^2}$

So we see that the period is:

- proportional to the charge and the magnetic field

- inversely proportional to the mass and the square of the speed

So the following will increase the period of the particle's motion:

Increasing its charge

Increasing the field strength

List the largest-aperture single telescope currently in use in each of the following bands of the electromagnetic spectrum: radi

tankabanditka [31]

Explanation:

Radio Telescope:

1. FAST (Five Hundred Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope), China is the largest single dish radio telescope in the world with a dish of diameter 500 meters. Although its construction is over but its not yet functional.

2. Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico is the largest single dish <em>operational</em> radio telescope having a single dish of diameter 305 meters..

X - ray Telescope: Chandra X ray observatory also known as Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) is the largest x-ray telescope with aperture of 1.2 meters. It can detect X-ray sources which are 100 times fainter in comparison to any previous telescope.

Gamma ray telescope: Fermi Gamma ray telescope is the largest gamma ray telescope.
