The answer to the question is

<span>PE = W = 1/2 (kx^2)
16.2 = </span>1/2 (k(0.30)^2)
k = 360 J/m^2

A 0.50 kg toy is attached to the end of a 1.0 m very light string. The toy is whirled in a horizontal circular path on a frictio

xenn [34]

Answer:

The maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

radius of the light string r = 1 m

Tension on the string T = 350 N

We have to find the maximum speed without breaking the string

For without breaking the string tension must be equal to the centripetal force

So $T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

So $350=\frac{0.5\times v^2}{1}$

$v^2=700$

v = 26.475 m /sec

So the maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Suppose you took a trip to the moon. Write a paragraph describing how and why your weight would change. Would your mass change t

noname [10]

Your weight would change but not your mass, the moon has less gravity so therefore you are going to be lighter :-)

3. The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a two-particle system is at the origin. One particle

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

B) (-2.0 m, 0.0 m)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of particle 1 is, $m_1=2.0\ kg$

Mass of particle 2 is, $m_2=3.0\ kg$

Position of center of mass is, $(x_{cm},y_{cm})=(0,0)$

Position of particle 1 is, $(x_1,y_1)=(3.0\ m,0.0\ m)$

Position of particle 2 is, $(x_2,y_2)=(?\ m,?\ m)$

We know that, the x-coordinate of center of mass of two particles is given as:

$x_{cm}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Plug in the values given.

$0=\frac{(2.0\times 3)+(3.0\times x_2)}{2.0+3.0}\\\\0=6+3x_2\\\\3x_2=-6\\\\x_2=\frac{-6}{3}=-2.0\ m$

We know that, the y-coordinate of center of mass of two particles is given as:

$y_{cm}=\frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Plug in the values given.

$0=\frac{(2.0\times 0)+(3.0\times y_2)}{2.0+3.0}\\\\0=0+3y_2\\\\3y_2=0\\\\y_2=\frac{0}{3}=0.0\ m$

Therefore, the position of particle 2 of mass 3.0 kg is (-2.0 m, 0.0 m).

So, option (B) is correct.
