A bucket tied to a rope is moving at a constant speed of 5.0 m/s in a circle of radius

Physics
1 answer:
jeyben [28]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a=12.5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of the bucket tied to a rope, v = 5 m/s

The radius of the circle, r =2 m

We need to find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the bucket. The formula for the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(5)^2}{2}\\\\a=12.5\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the bucket is 12.5\ m/s^2.

A net force of 20 N acting on a wooden block produces an
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From the second law of motion:

F = ma

we are given that the force applied on the block is 20N and the block accelerates at an acceleration of 4 m/s/s

So, F=  20N   and  a = 4 m/s/s

Replacing the variables in the equation:

20 = 4* m

m = 20 / 4

m = 5 kg

A book falls of the table and hits the floor. Is work done? Why?​
morpeh [17]

<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>

This is because:

When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.   As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.

When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.

Work can be given by the formula:

W = F • d

where F is the force and d is the displacement.

In anticipation of a long 10o upgrade, a bus driver accelerates at a constant rate of 5 ft/s^2 while still on a level section of
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The distance (in miles) by the bus up the hill when its speed decreased to 50 mph is approximately 1.353 miles

Explanation:

The parameters of the motion of the driver are;

The upgrade of the road, θ = 10°

The rate of constant acceleration of the bus driver = 5 ft./s²

The speed of the bus as it begins to go up the hill, v₁ = 80 mph = 117.3228 ft./s

The speed of the driver at a point on the hill, v₂ = 50 mph ≈ 73.32677 ft./s

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 32.1740 ft./s²

Therefore, we have;

The acceleration due to gravity down the incline plane, gₓ = g·sinθ

∴ gₓ = g·sin(θ) ≈ 32.1740 ft./s² × sin(10°) ≈ 5.587 ft/s²

The net acceleration of the bus, on the incline plane, a_{Net} = gₓ - a = 5.587 ft./s² -5 ft./s² = 0.587 ft./s²

The vertical component of the velocity, v_y = v × sin(θ)

∴ v_y = 117.3228 ft./s × sin(10°) ≈ 20.37289 ft./s

vₓ = 117.3228 ft./s × cos(10°) ≈ 115.5404 ft./s

The velocity of the car, v₂, on the inclined plane is given as follows;

v₂ = v₁ - a_{Net} × t

∴ t = (v₁ - v₂)/a_{Net}  = (117.3228 ft./s - 73.32677 ft./s)/(0.587 ft./s²) ≈ 74.95 s

The distance covered, 's', is given as follows;

s = v₁·t - 1/2·a_{Net}·t²

∴ s = 117.3228 × 74.95 - 1/2 × 0.587 × 74.95² ≈ 7144.6069 ft.

The distance travelled up the hill, s ≈ 7144.6069 ft. ≈ 1.3531452 miles ≈ 1.353 miles

The Coulomb force between two charges q1 and q2 at separation r in the air is 10N. If half of the separation is filled with medi
adoni [48]

Answer:

The value of new coulomb force is 1.43 N.

Explanation:

Given;

Coulomb's force in vacuum (air), F_v = 10 N

dielectric constant, K = 7

The Coulomb's force between two charges separated by a distance r in a vacuum is given as;

F_v = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

The Coulomb's force between two charges separated by a distance r in a medium with dielectric constant is given as

F_m = \frac{1}{4\pi K\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Take the ratio of the two forces;

\frac{F_v}{F_m} = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} \ \times \ \frac{4\pi K\epsilon_0 r^2}{q_1q_2} = K\\\\\frac{F_v}{F_m} = K\\\\\frac{10}{F_m} = 7\\\\F_m = \frac{10}{7} \\\\F_m = 1.43 \ N

Therefore, the value of new coulomb force is 1.43 N.
