Answer:
1.4 m/s/s (2.s.f)
Explanation:
The formula for centripetal acceleration is:
, where v is velocity and r is the radius.
In the question we are given the information that the car has a mass of 1300kg, a velocity of 2.5m/s, and a turn radius of 8.5m which are all the values we need. Therefore we can simply substitute in the values to solve the question:
Therefore the centripetal acceleration of the car is 1.4m/s/s. (2.s.f)
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Given</u>
mass A = 2.0 kg
mass B = 3.0 kg
θ = 40°
<u>Find</u>
The tension in the string
The acceleration of the masses
<u>Solution</u>
Mass A is being pulled down the inclined plane by a force due to gravity of ...
F = mg·sin(θ) = (2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.642788) = 12.5986 N
Mass B is being pulled downward by gravity with a force of ...
F = mg = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 29.4 N
The tension in the string, T, is such that the net force on each mass results in the same acceleration:
F/m = a = F/m
(T -12.59806 N)/(2 kg) = (29.4 N -T) N/(3 kg)
T = (2(29.4) +3(12.5986))/5 = 19.3192 N
__
Then the acceleration of B is ...
a = F/m = (29.4 -19.3192) N/(3 kg) = 3.36027 m/s^2
The string tension is about 19.3 N; the acceleration of the masses is about 3.36 m/s^2.
