A 3 Kg ball at the end of a string is spun in a circle. If the length of the string is 2 m and the velocity of the ball is 6 m/s

, what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball? What is the centripetal force on the ball?

M is 3kg
r is 2m
v is 6m/s

Fc = mv^2 / r
Fc = (3x6^2)/2 =54

a = v^2/r
a = 6^2 /2 = 18

What does a wave do that is so important?

expeople1 [14]

Waves transmit energy without transmitting matter, This means that we can move energy or information from one place to another without moving any substance from one place to another.

A gun shoots a bullet with a velocity of 500 m/s. The gun is aimed horizontally and fired from a height of 1.5 m. How far does t

MrMuchimi

The bullet travels a horizontal distance of 276.5 m

The bullet is shot forward with a horizontal velocity $u_x$ . It takes a time <em>t</em> to fall a vertical distance <em>y</em> and at the same time travels a horizontal distance <em>x. </em>

The bullet's horizontal velocity remains constant since no force acts on the bullet in the horizontal direction.

The initial velocity of the bullet has no component in the vertical direction. As it falls through the vertical distance, it is accelerated due to the force of gravity.

Calculate the time taken for the bullet to fall through a vertical distance <em>y </em>using the equation,

$y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Substitute 0 m/s for $u_y$ , 9.81 m/s²for <em>g</em> and 1.5 m for <em>y</em>.

$y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ 1.5 m=(0m/s)t+\frac{1}{2} (9.81m/s^2)t^2\\ t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.5m)}{9.81m/s^2} } =0.5530s$

The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is given by,

$x=u_xt$

Substitute 500 m/s for $u_x$ and 0.5530s for t.

$x=u_xt\\ =(500m/s)(0.5530s)\\ =276.5m$

The bullet travels a distance of 276.5 m.

Two identical cars, one on the moon and one on the earth, have the same speed and are rounding banked turns that have the same r

Naily [24]

Answer:

The value of the centripetal forces are same.

Explanation:

Given:

The masses of the cars are same. The radii of the banked paths are same. The weight of an object on the moon is about one sixth of its weight on earth.

The expression for centripetal force is given by,

$F_{c} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}$

where, $m$ is the mass of the object, $v$ is the velocity of the object and $r$ is the radius of the path.

The value of the centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, not on its weight.

As both on moon and earth the velocity of the cars and the radii of the paths are same, so the centripetal forces are the same.

Which interactions are part of the greenhouse effect? Select three options.

Allisa [31]

<u>Out of the given options, the following interactions are part of the greenhouse effect, </u>

Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat
Earth’s surface radiates energy back into the atmosphere
Gases in the atmosphere radiate heat back to the surface

Answers: Options A, D and E

<u>Explanation: </u>

The greenhouse effect, basically a warming effect caused by the greenhouse gases such as Carbon-Di-oxide, Methane, nitrous oxides, water vapour etc. These gases usually trap the heat that Earth Absorbs by the Sun.

In the day time, the Earth absorbs the energy in the form of heat which is radiated by the Sun. In the evening, the process gets reversed and the Earth starts releasing that heat into the atmosphere.

Now, this heat gets absorbed by this gases before it leaves the Earth's atmosphere and gets trapped there only, resulting in the temperature raise of the Earth's environment.

So, the prime causes of the greenhouse effect remains as the heat radiation from the Sun, the absorption of that heat by the Earth surface and the further absorption of that heat produced by the greenhouse gases that present in the atmosphere.

A proton, an electron, and a helium nucleus all move at speed v. Rank their de Broglie wavelengths from largest to smallest. Wri

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct option is 'c':electron,proton,helium nucleus

Explanation:

The De-Broglie's wavelength of particle is given by

$\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}$

Thus we can see that wavelength is inversely related to mass of the particle since 'h' (Plank's constant) and velocity is same for all the particles

Thus we conclude that the the lightest particle will have the most wavelength

Electron being the lightest of the 3 particles will have the largest wavelength thus the correct option is 'c'. Since electron has the largest wavelength followed by proton and the least wavelength among the 3 is of helium.
