Before swinging, T has only potential energy, (no speed)
Ui = mgh
Where h is the vertical displacement of T
From the laws of geometry,
cos45 = (L-h)/L
cos45 = 1-h/L
h/L = 1-cos45
h = L(1-cos45)

Therefore
Ui = mgL(1-cos45)

Proceeding the same way,
Twill raise to aheight of h' due to swing
h' = L(1-cos30)
The PE of T after swing is
Uf = mgh'
Uf = mgL(1-cos30)

Along with the PE , T has some kinetic energy results due to the moment.
Tf = 0.5*mv^2

According to the law of conservation of energy,
Ui = Uf+Tf
mgL(1-cos45) = mgL(1-cos30) + 0.5*mv^2
gL(co30-cos45) = 0.5*v^2
9.8*20*(co30-cos45) = 0.5*V^2
v = 7.89 m/s

<span>The speed f T after swing is 7.89 m/s</span>

Answer:

a 15.22 m/s

b 45.65 m

Explanation:

Using the same formula,

x = vt, where

x is now 45.65, and

t is 3 s, then

45.65 = 3v

v = 45.65/3

v = 15.22 m/s

See the attachment for the part b. We used the distance gotten in part B, to find question A

satela [25.4K]

<span>First, we use the kinetic energy equation to create a formula: Ka = 2Kb 1/2(ma*Va^2) = 2(1/2(mb*Vb^2)) The 1/2 of the right gets cancelled by the 2 left of the bracket so: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*Vb^2 (1) By the definiton of momentum we can say: ma*Va = mb*Vb And with some algebra: Vb = (ma*Va)/mb (2) Substituting (2) into (1), we have: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*((ma*Va)/mb)^2 Then: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*(ma^2*Va^2)/mb^2 We cancel the Va^2 in both sides and cancel the mb at the numerator, leving the denominator of the right side with exponent 1: 1/2(ma) = (ma^2)/mb Cancel the ma of the left, leaving the right one with exponent 1: 1/2 = ma/mb And finally we have that: mb/2 = ma mb = 2ma</span>

Answer:

(a) 1.87 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

(b) 0.013V

Explanation:

(a) Drift speed, $v_{d}$ , is the average velocity that a charged particle can have due to an electric field. For a given current, I, the drift velocity is given by;

$v_{d}$ = $\frac{I}{qnA}$ ----------------(i)

Where;

q = amount of charge

n = free charge density

A = cross-sectional area of the wire

But current density, J, is the electric current per unit cross-section area. This is also equal to the ratio of the electric field, E, to the resistivity, p, of the material of the wire. i.e

J = $\frac{I}{A}$ = $\frac{E}{p}$
