The centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

The given parameters;

  • angular speed of the washing machine, ω = 200 rpm
  • radius of the machine' drum, r = 0.5 m
  • mass of the towel, m = 0.25 kg

The centripetal force experienced by the towel spinning along the walls of the drum is calculated as follows;

Fc = mrω²

where;

<em>Fc is the centripetal force</em>

<em>ω is angular speed in rad/s</em>

The angular speed in rad/s is calculate as;

\omega = \frac{200 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 \ s} \\\\\omega = 20.95 \ rad/s

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is calculated as;

F_c = mr\omega ^2\\\\F_c = 0.25 \times 0.5 \times (20.95)^2\\\\F_c = 54.9 \ N \ \approx 55 \ N

Thus, the centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}

a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}

a'=4\times a

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Explanation:

This method is called  finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Cepheid variable is actually a type of star that has a radial pulsation having a varying brightness and diameter. This change in brightness is very well defined having a period and amplitude.

A potent clear link between the luminosity and pulsation period of a Cepheid variable developed Cepheids as an important determinants of cosmic criteria for scaling galactic and extra galactic distances. Henrietta Swan Leavitt revealed this robust feature of conventional Cepheid in 1908 after observing thousands of variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds. This in fact turn, by making comparisons its established luminosity to its measured brightness, allows one to evaluate the distance to the star.

Which statements describe a fully charged capacitor? Check all that apply.
Oksanka [162]
Well, first of all, there's no such thing as "fully charged" for a capacitor.

A capacitor has a "maximum working voltage", because of mechanical
or chemical reasons, just like a car has a maximum safe speed.  But
anywhere below that, cars and capacitors do their jobs just fine, without
any risk of failing.

So we have a capacitor that has some charge on it, and therefore some
voltage across it.  From the list of choices above . . .

<span>-- Both plates have the same amount of charge.
Yes.  And both plates have opposite TYPES of charge.
One plate is loaded with electrons and is negatively charged.
The other plate is missing electrons and is positively charged.

-- There is a potential difference between the plates.
Yes.  That's the "voltage" mentioned earlier.
It's a measure of how badly the extra electrons want to jump
from the negative plate to the positive plate.

-- Electric potential energy is stored.
Yes.  It's the energy that had to be put into the capacitor
to move electrons away from one plate and cram them
onto the other plate.
