In a circular motion scenario, the force that pulls the revolving object towards the centre is the force that produces the centripetal acceleration. So, in this case, the tension on the string is the force that pulls the puck towards the centre.

Therefore, it is the tension in the string that causes the centripetal acceleration of the puck

Hope I helped!! xx

What is the kinetic energy of a 100 kg object that is moving with a speed of 12.5m/s
Doss [256]

The kinetic energy of any moving object is

                           (1/2) (mass) (speed²) .

For the object you described, that's

                            (1/2) (100 kg) (12.5 m/s)²

                         =      (50 kg)  (156.25 m²/s²)

                         =              7,812.5 joules

A 56 kg diver runs and dives from the edge of a cliff into the water which is located 4.0 m below. If she is moving at 8.0 m/s t
Reil [10]

Answer:

1) 2197.44 J

2) 0 J

3) 2197.44 J = Constant

4) 2197.44 J

5) Approximately 8.86 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the diver, m = 56 kg

The height of the cliff, h = 4.0 m

The speed with which the diver is moving, vₓ = 8.0 m/s

The gravitational potential energy = Mass, m × Height of the cliff, h × Acceleration due to gravity, g

1) Her gravitational potential energy = 56 × 4.0 × 9.81 = 2197.44 J

2) The kinetic energy = 1/2·m·u²

Where;

u = Her initial velocity = 0 when she just leaves the cliff

Therefore;

Her kinetic energy when she just leaves the cliff = 1/2 × 56 × 0² = 0 J

3) The total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

The total mechanical energy is constant

Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface when she leaves the cliff = Her gravitational potential energy = 2197.44 J = Constant

4) Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface just before she enters the water = 2197.44 J

5) The speed with which she enters the water, v, is given from, v² = u² + 2·g·h

Where;

u = The initial velocity at the top of the cliff before she jumps= 0 m/s

∴ v² = 0² + 2 × 9.81 × 4 = 78.48

v = √78.48 ≈ 8.86 m/s

The speed with which she enters the water, v ≈ 8.86 m/s

After an eye examination, you put some eyedrops on your sensitive eyes. The cornea (the front part of the eye) has an index of r
mina [271]

Answer:

t = 103.45 n m

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of cornea = 1.38

refractive index of eye drop = 1.45

wavelength of refractive index = 600 nm

refractive index of eye drop is greater than refractive index of cornea and the air.

Formula used in this case

for constructive interference

2 n t = (m + \dfrac{1}{2})\lambda

At m = 0 for the minimum thickness, so

2\times 1.45 \times t = (0 + 0.5)\times 600

2.9 \times t =300

t =\dfrac{300}{2.9}

t = 103.45 n m

the minimum thickness of the film of eyedrops t = 103.45 n m

Plug variables expressed in SI units in the kinematic equation given in article: a = -v0^2/(2sg). What value of g you get as exp
Elanso [62]

Answer:

1) acceleration is increased by a factor of four 4X

2) the acceleration increases a factor of 2X

3) the correct answer of 400g

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise, where you use the velocity equation to obtain the acceleration, with the final velocity equal to zero.

           v² = v₀² + 2 a x

           0 = v₀² + 2 a x

           a = - v₀² / 2 x

           

In the case of wanting to give the acceleration as a function of g, we can find the relationship between the two quantities

         a / g = - v₀² / (2 x g)

Let's answer the different questions about this equation

1. The initial velocity is doubled, how much the acceleration is worth

           

       a/g = - (2v₀) 2 / 2xg

       a = 4 (-v₀² / 2xg) g

acceleration is increased by a factor of four 4X

2. if the stopping distance is reduced by 2, that is, x = x₀ / 2

we substitute

        a/g = (- v₀² / 2g) 2/x

         

        a =2  (-v₀² / 2x₀g)  g

       

therefore the acceleration increases a factor of 2X

3. the initial velocity of the hockey player is v₀ = 20 m / s and the stopping distance is

x = 5cm = 0.05m

we calculate the acceleration

        a / g = - 20² / (2 0.05)

        a / g = - 4000 / g

        a / g = - 4000 / 9.8 = 408

        a = 408 g

the correct answer of 400g, the value matches exactly if g = 10 m / s2 is taken

A wooden disk of mass m and radius r has a string of negligible mass is wrapped around it. If the disk is allowed to fall and th
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a = \frac{2}{3}g

T = \frac{mg}{3}

Explanation:

As the disc is unrolling from the thread then at any moment of the time

We have force equation as

mg - T = ma

also by torque equation we can say

TR = I\alpha

TR = \frac{1}{2}mR^2(\frac{a}{R})

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

Now we have

mg - \frac{1}{2}ma = ma

mg = \frac{3}{2}ma

a = \frac{2}{3}g

Also from above equation the tension force in the string is

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

T = \frac{mg}{3}
