A honeybee is in flight between a flower and its hive. Which of the following statements is true?

Which of the following are true about centripetal force? Check all that apply. A. Without centripetal force, an object cannot ac

Katyanochek1 [597]

B. Friction can be a centripetal force, such as when it keeps a car on the road going around a curve.

C. Gravity can be a centripetal force, such as when it pulls a satellite in its orbit.

Explanation:

The centripetal force is any force that keeps an object moving in circular motion, "pulling" the object towards the centre of the circular trajectory.

Several forces can act as centripetal force. Examples are:

- friction: when a car is going around the curve, is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the car in circular motion is, in fact, the friction between the tires and the road.

- Gravity: when a satellite moves around the Earth, it is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the satellite in circular motion is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the satellite, that pushes the satellite towards the Earth.

The other two options are not correct because:

A) An object can also accelerate if there is no centripetal force (for example, a car speeding up on a straight road is accelerating, but there is no centripetal force since there is no circular motion

D) Centripetal force is not an outward force, since it pushes the object inwards (towards the centre of the trajectory).

A 1.80-m string of weight 0.0126 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

W = 0.135 N

Explanation:

Given:

- y (x, t) = 8.50*cos(172*x -2730*t)

- Weight of string m*g = 0.0126 N

- Attached weight = W

Find:

The attached weight W given that Tension and W are equal.

Solution:

The general form of standing mechanical waves is given by:

y (x, t) = A*cos(k*x -w*t)

Where k = stiffness and w = angular frequency

Hence,

k = 172 and w = 2730

- Calculate wave speed V:

V = w / k = 2730 / 172 = 13.78 m/s

- Tension in the string T:

T = Y*V^2

where Y: is the mass per unit length of the string.

- The tension T and weight attached W are equal:

T = W = Y*V^2 = (w/L*g)*V^2

W = (0.0126 / 1.8*9.81)*(13.78)^2

W = 0.135 N

A 5 kg mass is oscillating on a spring with a time period of 2.8 seconds. What is the spring constant k of the spring?

katrin [286]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Simple Harmonic Oscillator</u>

It consists of a weight attached to one end of a spring being allowed to move forth and back.

If m is the mass of the weight and k is the constant of the spring, the period of the oscillation is given by:

$\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {m}{k}}}$

If the period is known, we can find the value of the constant by solving for k:

$\displaystyle k=m\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2$

Substituting the given values m=5 Kg and T=2.8 seconds:

$\displaystyle k=5 \left(\frac{2\pi}{2.8}\right)^2$

k = 25.18 N/m
