A55.6 kg ice skater is moving at 1.73 m/s when she grabs the loose end of a rope, the opposite end of which is tied to a pole. she then moves in a circle of radius 0.608 m around the pole. find the force exerted by the rope on her arms. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . answer in units of kn.

The force exerted by the rope on her arms is 273.7 N = 0.274 kN

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the ice skater = 55.6 kg

Velocity = 1.73 m/s

She then moves in a circle of radius 0.608 m around the pole.

Step 2:

Force exterted by the horizontal rope is the centripetal force acting on theice skater:

Fc = M*ac

⇒ with ac = v²/r

Fc = M * v²/r

Fc = 55.6 * 1.73²/0.608

Fc =273.69 N

The force exerted by the rope on her arms is 273.7 N = 0.274 kN

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
