Answer:

Tetherball is an interesting game in which two players tries to hit the ball hard so that it goes around the

pole.Each time the player hits the ball, it's orbit rises higher off the ground.Let's understand the physics

behind this.The motion of a tetherball is governed by two forces.These two forces combine to generate a

net force, i.e. centripetal force.If the ball is moving more quickly, it requires a greater centripetal force,

which in turn requires a greater tension force.Since the ball's weight hasn't changed, the angle of the

tension force changes until the ball is in vertical equilibrium.

Ball Mass : This slider controls the mass of the ball. A ball with more mass will have more inertia, requiring

a greater net force to accelerate it. A ball with more mass will ALSO have a greater gravitational force

acting on it. Watch both of these effects occur when you manipulate this slider.

Cable Length : This slider controls the length of the cable. A longer cable is capable of allowing a greater

circular radius of motion for the ball. It is important to remember that the radius of the circular motion is

NOT equal to the length of the cable. Instead, if you want to understand the size of the circle of the ball's

motion, ignore the cable and just imagine the path of the ball.

Ball Speed : This slider controls the speed of the ball - imagine a kid just hit the ball and it sped up. A ball

moving more quickly is also accelerating more quickly because its velocity is changing as it moves in a

circle (remember that changes in DIRECTION of velocity 'count' as changes to velocity).

Force Diagram : This allows you to turn on or off the diagram of the forces acting on the ball. Look for the

ball to be in vertical force balance, which means the vertical component of tension is canceled by the

gravitational force. The ball should NOT be in horizontal force balance - it is accelerating towards the center

of the circle! It is important to note that this free body diagram should really be moving with the ball so that

the tension force always points along the cord - we are just showing the forces at the moment the ball is at

the furthest-right on this screen.

Centripetal force vs Tetherball speed : This is a plot of centripetal force required to keep the ball in

circular orbit about the pole as a function of its speed. As expected, a more quickly-moving ball is changing

in velocity more often in a given amount of time, and so is accelerating more. This greater (centripetal, or

center-pointing) acceleration requires a greater net force.

The robot HooRU is lost in space, floating around aimlessly, and radiates heat into the depths of the cosmos at the rate of 13.1
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The temperature is  T  = 168.44 \ K

Explanation:

From the question ewe are told that

   The rate of heat transferred is    P  = 13.1 \ W

     The surface area is  A = 1.55 \ m^2

      The emissivity of its surface is  e = 0.287

Generally, the rate of heat transfer is mathematically represented as

           H  =  A e \sigma  T^{4}

=>         T  =  \sqrt[4]{\frac{P}{e* \sigma } }

where  \sigma is the Boltzmann constant with value  \sigma  = 5.67*10^{-8} \ W\cdot  m^{-2} \cdot  K^{-4}.

substituting value  

             T  =  \sqrt[4]{\frac{13.1}{ 0.287* 5.67 *10^{-8} } }

            T  = 168.44 \ K

) Water falls from a height of 60m at the rate of 15kg/s to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional force are 10% of ene
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

8100W

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2

As water is falling from 60m high, its potential energy from 60m high would convert to power. So the rate of change in potential energy is

P = \dot{E} = \dot{m}gh = 15*10*60 = 9000 J/s or 9000W

Since 10% of this is lost to friction, we take the remaining 90 %

P = 9000*90% = 8100 W

Which telescope would be better viewing a faint, distant star? Why?
grin007 [14]
Reflecting telescope. Reflecting telescopes tend to have larger objective (due to the use of mirrors, mirrors are a lot cheaper than lenses) and have the ability to collect more light, while refracting telescopes are limited to objective lenses with smaller diameters due to their structural limitations (chromatic abbreviation, for example). Therefore, reflecting telescopes should be better at viewing faint distant stars

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!<br><br> Joules could be used to measure
lyudmila [28]

All of the above, work is a measurement of energy transfer, in Joules.

Potential energy = Joules

Kinetic energy = Joules

The key thing here is that anything having to do with just energy or energy transfer is measured in joules.
