Answer:

F = 1263.03 N

Explanation:s

given,                      

mass of the disk thrower = 100 Kg

mass of the disk = 2 Kg                

angular speed of the disk  = 4 rev/s

arm outstretched = 1 m                  

centripetal force of the disk in the circular path

F = m ω² r                        

ω = 4 x 2 x π        

ω = 25.13 rad/s

F = m ω² r                      

F = 2 x 25.13² x 1

F = 1263.03 N                                              

hence, centripetal force equal to the F = 1263.03 N

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports,7.3m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels d
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

T= 5.18N

Explanation:

u = mass of chord / length of chord

u = 0.49/ 7.3

u = 0.067 kg/m

Velocity of sound waves (v) =length of chord / time taken for wave to travel

v = 7.3 / 0.83 = 8.795m/s

Tension is calculated below using the formula

T = v² * u

T = (8.795)² x 0.067

T= 5.18N

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud
NARA [144]
<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>

Explanation:

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)  

In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=45N by the distance traveled d=12m.

Hence:  

W=(45N)(12m)   (2)

W=540Nm=540J

With two identical light bulbs and two identical batteries how would you arrange in order to get the maximum total power to the
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The batteries would be connected in series while the bulbs would be connected in parallel

Explanation:

Power (W) = VI

where V = voltage, I = current and R = resistance

from V = IR , I = V/R

Power (W) now becomes = V (V/R) = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

Power (W) =  \frac{V^{2} }{R}

from the above equation, power is directly dependent on voltage, hence the voltage has to be high for the power to be high and the power is also inversely dependent on the resistance (in this case the bulbs which act as the load)

  • We have to batteries, when batteries are connected in series the total voltage becomes the summation of the two voltages hence giving a higher voltage and when they are connected in parallel their voltage remains the same. Since we want to get higher voltage we will connect the two batteries in series.
  • we have two bulbs which are the resistance here, from the equation above the power is inversely dependent on the resistance so we would need its value to be minimal. When resistance is connected in series the resistance individual will be added to get the total resistance, hence the total resistance will be high but when the resistors are arranged in parallel you get the total resistance by applying the formula \frac{R1R2}{R1+R2} which will give us a lower resistance. Hence we would connect the bulbs in parallel.

Take note that the power from this connection should not exceed the bulbs power rating so as to avoid damage of the bulbs.
