An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas

ter and at a certain speed the apples is torn from the stalk.Why?

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks

A 25kg child sits on one end of a 2m see saw. How far from the pivot point should a rock of 50kg be placed on the other side of
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

a rock of 50kg should be placed =drock=0.5m from the pivot point of see saw

Explanation:

τchild=τrock  

Use the equation for torque in this equation.

(F)child(d)child)=(F)rock(d)rock)

The force of each object will be equal to the force of gravity.

(m)childg(d)child)=(m)rockg(d)rock)

Gravity can be canceled from each side of the equation. for simplicity.

 (m)child(d)child)=(m)rock(d)rock)  

Now we can use the mass of the rock and the mass of the child. The total length of the seesaw is two meters, and the child sits at one end. The child's distance from the center of the seesaw will be one meter.

(25kg)(1m)=(50kg)drock

Solve for the distance between the rock and the center of the seesaw.

drock=25kg⋅m50kg

drock=0.5m

Stella is driving down a steep hill. She should keep her car __________ to help _________. a. light, it speed up in a higher b.
frez [133]

Answer:

<em>The Answer is both B and C, </em><em>since it has same options from the question given. Gear, slow her vehicle in a lower</em>

Explanation:

<em>The use of a lower gear in a vehicle helps a person to control their speed limits, when approaching a hill. it also saves the brakes too, using the brakes down a hill can overheat the gear and causes brake failures</em>

<em>By changing in into a lower gear and also letting the engine to do the brake work in a vehicle, the engine will absorb a force and slow the vehicle down, but in most cases brakes can be applied but with lesser pressure.</em>

<em>In this case Stella need to slow down by applying her lower gear down a hill to avoid accidents on the road, by controlling her speed limits and  for safety precaution</em>

The Lyman series comprises a set of spectral lines. All of these lines involve a hydrogen atom whose electron undergoes a change
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) 1.2*10^-7 m

b) 1.0*10^-7 m

c) 9.7*10^-8 m

d) ultraviolet region

Explanation:

To find the different wavelengths you use the following formula:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(1-\frac{1}{n^2})

RH: Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 10^7 m^−1.

(a) n=2

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(2)^2})=8227500m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.2*10^{-7}m

(b)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(3)^2})=9751111,1m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.0*10^{-7}m

(c)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(4)^2})=10284375m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=9.7*10^{-8}m

(d) The three lines belong to the ultraviolet region.

A transverse wave is traveling on a string stretched along the horizontal x-axis. The equation for the
maxonik [38]

Answer:

A) 0.33 m/s

Explanation:

The standard form of a transverse wave is given by  

y = a  cos ( ω t − kx ) ,   k =  2 π  / λ

Amplitude,   a =  0.002  m

Wavenumber (k)=47.12 and wavelength  ( λ )  =  0.133 m

Time period(T)=0.0385 s and angular frequency  ( ω )  =  52 π  rad/s

Maximum speed of the string is given by  aw

Therefore ; max. speed = 0.002 x 52 π = 0.327 m/s
