One kind of slingshot consists of a pocket that holds a pebble and is whirled on a circle of radius r. The pebble is released fr

om the circle at the angle θ so that it will hit the target. The angle ϕ in the drawing is 37.1°. The distance to the target from the center of the circle is d. (See the drawing below, which is not to scale.) The circular path is parallel to the ground, and the target lies in the plane of the circle. The distance d is one times the radius r. Ignore the effect of gravity in pulling the stone downward after it is released and find the angle θ.

Answer:

θ=142.9°

Explanation:

d=1 *r

angle ϕ= 37.1°

the line connecting pebble and target should be tangent to a circle so

cos(180-ϕ-θ)=\frac{r}{d}=\frac{1}{1}

∴ θ=180-ϕ-cos^{-1} (\frac{1}{1} )

  θ= 180-37.1-0

  θ=142.9°

Every spring has an equilibrium position. Which statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position? Check all that
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The elastic potential energy is zero.

The net force acting on the spring is zero.

Explanation:

The equilibrium position of a spring is the position that the spring has when its neither compressed nor stretched - it is also called natural length of the spring.

Let's now analyze the different statements:

The spring constant is zero.  --> false. The spring constant is never zero.

The elastic potential energy is at a maximum  --> false. The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant and x the displacement. Therefore, the elastic potential energy is maximum when x, the displacement, is maximum.

The elastic potential energy is zero.  --> true. As we saw from the equation above, the elastic potential energy is zero when the displacement is zero (at the equilibrium position).

The displacement of the spring is at a maxi num  --> false, for what we said above

The net force acting on the spring is zero. --> true, as the spring is neither compressed nor stretched

Two 8.0 Ω lightbulbs are connected in a 12 V series circuit. What is the power of both glowing bulbs?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

18 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/R.................. Equation 1

Where P = Power of both glowing bulbs, V = Voltage, R = Combined Resistance of both bulbs

Since: It is a series circuit,

Then,

R = R1+R2............. Equation 2

Where R1= Resistance of the first bulb, R2 = Resistance of the second bulb

Given: R1 = R2 = 8 Ω

Substitute into equation 1

R = 8+8

R = 16 Ω

Also Given: V = 12 V

Substitute into equation 1

P = 12²/8

P = 144/8

P = 18 W

A particle of mass m= 2.5 kg has velocity of v = 2 i m/s, when it is at the origin (0,0). Determine the z- component of the angu
melomori [17]

Answer:

please read the answer below

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by

|\vec{L}|=|\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}|=m(rvsin\theta)

By taking into account the angles between the vectors r and v in each case we obtain:

a)

v=(2,0)

r=(0,1)

angle = 90°

L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}

b)

r=(0,-1)

angle = 90°

L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}

c)

r=(1,0)

angle = 0°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

d)

r=(-1,0)

angle = 180°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

e)

r=(1,1)

angle = 45°

L = (2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin45\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}

f)

r=(-1,1)

angle = 45°

the same as e):

L = 5kgm/s

g)

r=(-1,-1)

angle = 135°

L=(2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin135\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}

h)

r=(1,-1)

angle = 135°

the same as g):

L = 5kgm/s

hope this helps!!

Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50.
Nady [450]

Answer:

v = 38.73 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Extension of the bow, x = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Force of the arrow, F = 150 N

Mass of the arrow, m = 50 g = 0.05 kg

speed of arrow, v = ? m/s

We start by finding the spring constant

Remember, F = kx, so

k = F/x

k = 150 / 0.5

k = 300 N/m

the potential energy if the bow when pulled back is

E = 1/2kx²

E = 1/2 * 300 * 0.5²

E = 0.5 * 300 * 0.25

E = 37.5 J

The speed of the arrow will now be found by using the law of conservation of energy

1/2kx² = 1/2mv²

kx² = mv²

v² = kx²/m, on substituting, we have

v² = (300 * 0.5²) / 0.05

v² = 75 / 0.05

v² = 1500

v = √1500

v = 38.73 m/s

The atmosphere pressure can support mercury in a tube, which the upper end is closed, up to 0.76 meter. If the mercury is replac
Leni [432]

Answer:

Maximum height the atmosphere pressure can support the

water=10.336 m

Explanation:

We know that ,

Pressure = h\cdot\rho\cdot g

Case 1 - Mercury in the tube

Density\ of\ mercury =\rho_1\\and\ height\ attained\ for\ mercury\ column = h_1

Case 2 - Water in the tube

Density\ of\ water =\rho_2\\and\ height\ attained\ for\ water\ column = h_2

Since atmospheric pressure is same

.P=h_1\cdot\rho_1\cdot g = h_2\cdot\rho_2\cdot g

or,  h_2=\frac{h_1\rho_1}{\rho_2}

Given\ h_1= 0.76\  m,\rho_1=13.6\cdot\rho_2

∴ h_2=0.76\cdot13.6=10.336\ m

Hence height of the water column =10.336 m
