A heavy steel ball is hung from a cord to make a pendulum. The ball is pulled to the side so that the cord makes a 4 ∘ angle with the vertical. Holding the ball in place takes a force of 20 N . If the ball is pulled farther to the side so that the cord makes a 8 ∘ angle, what force is required to hold the ball? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the

40.19 N

Explanation:

Given

Force needed to hold the ball at $\theta =4^{\circ}\ is\ F_1=20\ N$

From FBD we can write

$F\cos \theta =mg\sin \theta$

$\tan \theta =\dfrac{F}{mg}$

For $\theta =4^{\circ}$

$F_1=20\ N$

$\tan (4)=\dfrac{20}{mg}----1$

for $\theta =8^{\circ}$

Force is F_2

$\tan (8)=\dfrac{F_2}{mg}---2$

Divide 1 and 2 we get

$\dfrac{\tan (4)}{\tan (8)}=\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}$

$F_2=20\times \dfrac{\tan 8}{\tan 4}$

$F_2=20\times 2.009$

$F_2=40.19\ N$

Answer from: Quest

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

Uranium has two naturally occurring isotopes. 238u has a natural abundance of 99.3% and 235u has an abundance of 0.7%. it is the rarer 235u that is needed for nuclear reactors. the isotopes are separated by forming uranium hexafluoride uf6, which is a gas, then allowing it to diffuse through a series of porous membranes. 235uf6 has a slightly larger rms speed than 238uf6 and diffuses slightly faster. many repetitions of this procedure gradually separate the two isotopes. what is the ratio of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6? express your answer to five significant figures.
