A 0.25 kg ball is suspended from a light 0.65 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 31° with the vertical. Let U = 0 w

hen the ball is at its lowest point (θ = 0).
a) What is the gravitational potential energy, in joules, of the ball before it is released?
b) What will be the speed of the ball, in meters per second, when it reaches the bottom?

Answer:

a. 0.23J

b. 1.35 m/s

Explanation:

a. U = mgh where where m = mass of the object, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = height

h = L - Lcos(θ) where L = length of the rope, and θ = angle with respect to vertical.

Therefore, U = mg(L - Lcos(θ))

U = 0.25 * 9.8 (0.65m - 0.65cos(31° ))

U = 0.2275 ≈ 0.23J

The gravitational potential energy of the ball before it is released = 0.23J

b. To determine the velocity of the object at the bottom of its motion, all of the energy has gone from gravitational potential into kinetic since at the bottom, the problem says that U = 0. The kinetic energy of an object is given by the following equation:  

K.E=\frac{I}{2}*mv^{2}

where m = mass of the object and v = velocity of the object. Since we know that all of the energy was transferred into kinetic energy at the bottom, we can conclude that:

0.2275=\frac{1}{2} *0.25*v^{2}

v^{2}=\frac{2*0.2275}{0.25}

v^{2}=1.82

v=\sqrt{1.82}=1.3491\\ ≈ 1.35m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball when it reaches the bottom = 1.35m/s

Explanation:

a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is

h = L - L\cos{31°} = L(1 - \cos{31°})

so its initial gravitational potential energy U_0 is

U = mgh = mgL(1 - \cos{31°})

\:\:\:\:\:=(0.25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31})

\:\:\:\:\:=0.23\:\text{J}

b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:

\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0 \Rightarrow K_0 + U_0 = K + U

We know that the initial kinetic energy K_0, as well as its final gravitational potential energy U are zero so we can write the conservation law as

mgL(1 - \cos{31°}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as

v = \sqrt{2gL(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= 1.3\:\text{m/s}

A woman takes her dog Rover for a walk on a leash. She pulls on the leash with a force of 30.0 N at an angle of 29° above the ho
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The force parallel to the horizontal is 26.24 N

Explanation:

She pulls on the leash with a force F = 30 N, this force, since its at an angle of 29° (i will cal this angle \theta), it has a force component on x (the horizontal, i will call this force F_{x}) and a force component on y (the vertical, i will call this F_{y} ).

This can be seen in the attached picture.

Since we are asked about the force parallel to the horizontal, we need to find the component of the force F_{x}, since F_{x} is the adjacent angle, we need to use cosine:

F_{x}=Fcos \theta

since F=30N and \theta=29

F_{x}=(30N)cos(29)

F_{x}=(30N)(0.8746)

F_{x}=26.24N

The force parallel to the horizontal is 26.24 N

Does a stove have mechanical energy
Ainat [17]

-- Any object has gravitational potential energy relative to any place
lower than where the object is.  The stove in the kitchen has potential
energy relative to the basement floor.

-- If an object is not moving, then it has no kinetic energy. The stove has
no kinetic energy unless you throw it or drop it out of a window.

How long must a 0.70-mm-diameter aluminum wire be to have a 0.40 a current when connected to the terminals of a 1.5 v flashlight
Natalka [10]
By using Ohm's law, we can find what should be the resistance of the wire, R:
R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{1.5 V}{0.40 A} =3.75 \Omega

Then, let's find the cross-sectional area of the wire. Its radius is half the diameter,
r=35 mm=0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m
So the area is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=3.85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2

And by using the resistivity  of the Aluminum, \rho=2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m, we can use the relationship between resistance R and resistivity:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
to find L, the length of the wire:
L= \frac{RA}{\rho}= \frac{(3.75 \Omega)(3,85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m}=54.48 m

La luz roja visible tiene una longitud de onda de 680 nanómetros (6,8 x 10-7 m). La velocidad de la luz es de 3.0 x108 m / s. ¿C
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Frequency, f=4.41\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Explanation:

Visible red light has a wavelength of 680 nanometers (6.8 x 10⁻⁷ m). The speed of light is 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m / s. What is the frequency of visible red light?

It is given that,

Wavelength of a visible red light is, \lambda=6.8\times 10^{-7}\ m

Speed of light is, c=3\times 10^8\ m/s

We need to find the frequency of visible red light. It can be calculated using below relation.

c=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{6.8\times 10^{-7}}\\\\f=4.41\times 10^{14}\ Hz

So, the frequency of visible red light is 4.41\times 10^{14}\ Hz.
