A boy is swinging a toy on a piece of string in a vertical circle. The toy has a mass of 150 g and the radius of the circle is 0

.8 m. a) He swings the toy with a linear velocity of 2 m/s. Will the toy move in a circle? Explain your answer. b) Another boy swings the toy with a linear velocity of 3.5 m/s. Work out the tension in the string at the top of the circle, at the bottom of the circle and halfway between the top and the bottom of the circle.​

At the top of the circular motion, both weight and tension provides for centripetal force.

By Newton’s Second Law,
Fnet = ma
mg + T = mv^2/r (since a = v^2/r and weight = mg)

For toy to continue moving in circle at the top,

T > 0
mv^2/r - mg > 0
v >root (gr)

Hence, minimum speed toy must have is 2.80 m/s. Since linear velocity is lower than the minimum linear velocity, the toy will not move in circular motion.

b) Tension at top = mv^2/r - mg
= (0.15)(3.5)^2/0.8 - (0.15)(9.81)
= 0.825 N

Tension at bottom = mv^2/r + mg
= (0.15)(3.5)^2/0.8 + (0.15)(9.81)
= 3.77 N

In the middle, only Tension provides for centripetal force. Hence,
Tension = mv^2/r
= (0.15)(3.5)^2/0.8
= 2.30 N

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg

A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.63 m and moment of inertia I = 196 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

299.88 kgm²/s

499.758 kgm²/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of merry-go-round = 1.63 m

I = Moment of inertia = 196 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 1.53 rad/s

m = Mass of person = 73 kg

v = Velocity = 4.2 m/s

Initial angular momentum is given by

L=I\omega_i\\\Rightarrow L=196\times 1.53\\\Rightarrow L=299.88\ kgm^2/s

The initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round is 299.88 kgm²/s

Angular momentum is given by

L=mvR\\\Rightarrow L=73\times 4.2\times 1.63\\\Rightarrow L=499.758\ kgm^2/s

The angular momentum of the person 2 meters before she jumps on the merry-go-round is 499.758 kgm²/s

Describe the events leading to the discovery of the cell theory. Please help
bezimeni [28]
Back then, Robert Hooke found cells from a cork and named it cells. Later on, Matthias Schleiden found cells from plant parts and concluded that all plants are made of cells. Theodor Schwann, after observing many different animal cells, concluded that all animal have cells. Several years later, Rudolf Virchow hypothesized that cells divide to form new cells. Virchow proposed that every living organism has cells. His observations and conclusions and those of others are summarized in the cell theory
