A ball with a mass of 3.1 kg is moving in a uniform circular motion upon a horizontal surface. The ball is attached at the cente
inessss [21]

Answer:

3.46 seconds

Explanation:

Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.

The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -

F=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Where, m is the mass of the ball, v is the speed and r is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.

This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

20.4 = \frac{3.1\times v^2}{2}

and, v^2 = 13.16

Thus, v = 3.63 m/s.

Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle

Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = \frac{\text {Path length} }{\text {Speed}} = \frac{12.56}{3.63} = 3.46 seconds.

Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is v = 1/ κμ0ε0 , where κ is the dielectri
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is given by :

v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu_o\epsilon_o}}

Where

k is the dielectric constant of the substance.

v is the speed of light in water

c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.78\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}

v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

So, the speed of light in water is 2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

How much work (in J) is required to expand the volume of a pump from 0.0 L to 2.7 L against an external pressure of 1.0 atm?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

-2.79 x 10²J

Explanation:

using the pressure volume work formula which states that

work = -PΔV

           = -(1.0 atm) (2.7-0.0)L = -2.7L . atm

Convert litre.atmosphere to Joules.

1 L . atm = 101.325 joules

-2.75 L .atm = -2.75 x 101.325 = -278.64375 =

Work = -2.79 x 10²J

By using kepler's 3rd law we find that ___________.
tangare [24]

Answer;

By using kepler's 3rd law we find that;

-A year on Earth is shorter than a year on Saturn.

Explanation;

-Kepler’s 3rd law states that the square of a planet’s orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the Sun (semi-major axis), which tells us that more distant planets move more slowly in their orbits.

-In other words, if you square the 'year' of each planet, and divide it by the cube of its distance to the Sun, you get the same number, for all planets. The law captures the relationship between the distance of planets from the Sun, and their orbital periods.

Which energy transformation occurs when you light a gas burner?​
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Chemical energy to thermal(heat) energy

Explanation:

A gas burner contains chemical hydrocarbon such as methane, this methane is highly flammable.

The gas burner which contains methane when lighted up converts the chemical energy in the chemical to heat energy through the fire it produces. The fire then helps in heating up the surface it is applied to.
