Wow ! This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.
The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is
(speed-squared) / (radius of the circle) .
Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.
We know the radius of the track. We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out. That's what we
need to do first.
Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).
Distance = 10 laps of the track. Well how far is that ? ? ?
1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) = 2.4π meters
10 laps = 24π meters.
Time = 1 minute 20 seconds = 80 seconds
The trains speed is (distance) / (time)
= (24π meters) / (80 seconds)
= 0.3 π meters/second .
NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.
<span> (speed)² / (radius)
= (0.3π m/s)² / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π m²/s²) / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π / 1.2) m/s²
= 0.236 m/s² . (rounded)
If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...
Well, Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .
We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force. </span>
Answer:
3120J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
C = Specific heat capacity = 0.8J/g°C
Initial temperature = 20°C
Mass given = 5g
Final temperature = 800°C
Unknown:
Energy given to the mass = ?
Solution:
To find the energy given to the mass, let us simply use the expression below:
H = m c ΔT
H is the unknown, the energy supplied
m is the mass of the substance
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature
Input the variables;
H = 5 x 0.8 x (800 - 20) = 3120J
The answer is Solvent. The reason is in the wording, 'the substance that does the dissolving.' A solvent does the dissolving, a solute is something that can be dissolved.
Answer: The potential difference between the plates = 0.4061V
Explanation:
Given that the
Electric field strength E = 155 N/C
Distance d = 0.00262 m
From the definition of electric field strength, is the ratio of potential difference V to the distance between the plates. That is
E = V/d
Substitute E and d into the above formula
155 = V/0.00262
Cross multiply
V = 155 × 0.00262
V = 0.4061 V
The potential difference between the plates is 0.4061 V
