Answer:

It can be shown that the potential energy of an object at the surface of the planet would be -G M / R if the potential at infinity is chosen to be zero.

Kinetic energy of G M / R would be required for the escape speed of such an object. The total energy in all such cases is zero.

This can easily be seen by considering the speed of an object falling from infinity towards the planet - the total energy will remain zero if it was zero when the object started to fall.

In a pith ball experiment, the two pith balls are at rest. The magnitude of the tension in each string is |T|=0.55N, and the ang
Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation: Two pith ball will repel each other . they will remain balaced due to tension in the spring whose one component balances the weight and the other balances the repulsive force on each.

The gravitational force will be balanced by T cos 27.33 and the electrostatic repulsive force will be balanced by T sin27.33

So

Fg =T cos 27.33

= .55 X .888

= .49 N

Fq = T sin27.33

=.55 x .459

= .25 N.

Two students measure the time constant of an RC circuit. The first student charges the capacitor using a 12 V battery, then lets
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The answer is: c.) Both students get the same time constant, since the time constant does not depend on the charge on the capacitor

Explanation:

Both students, because the time constant is not dependent on the capacitor charge.  We can express the equation of the time constant as follows:

Time constant = RC

In this equation it is observed that the time constant is equal to the multiplication of the resistance (R) multiplied by the capacitance (C)

Dario, a prep cook at an Italian restaurant, spins a salad spinner and observes that it rotates 20.0 times in 5.00 seconds and t
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

-\frac{8\pi}{3}rad/s^2

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to apply the concept related to Angular Acceleration. We can find it through the equation

\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha\theta

Where for definition,

\omega_i = \frac{\theta}{t}

The number of revolution (\theta)was given by 20 times, then

\omega_i = \frac{20*2pi}{5}

\omega = 8\pi rad/s

We know as well that the salad rotates 6 more times, therefore in angle measurements that is

\theta = 6*2\pi rad = 12\pi rad

The cook at the end stop to spin, then using our first equation,

0-8\pi = 2\alpha (12\pi)

re-arrange to solve\alpha ,

\alpha = \frac{-8\pi}{2*12\pi}

\alpha = -\frac{8\pi}{3}rad/s^2

We can know find the required time,

\omega_f-\omega_i = \alpha t

Re-arrange to find t, and considering that \omega_f=0

t= \frac{\omega_i}{\alpha}

t=\frac{-8\pi}{-8\pi/3}

t=3s

Therefore take for the salad spinner to come to rest is 3 seconds with acceleration of -\frac{8\pi}{3}rad/s^2
