A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of

40 m. If he completes the 200 m dash in 26.4 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race, what is the magnitude of his centripetal acceleration (in m/s2) as he runs the curved portion of the track? m/s2 †

Answer:

a_c=1.44\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Centripetal Acceleration</u>

It's the acceleration that an object has when traveling on a circular path to take into consideration the constant change of velocity it must have in order to keep going in the circular path.

Being v the tangent speed, and r the radius of curvature of the circle, then the centripetal acceleration is given by

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

We can compute the value of v by using the distance and the time taken to travel:

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{200\ m}{26.4\ s}

v=7.58\ m/s

Now we calculate the centripetal acceleration

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{7.58^2}{40}=1.44\ m/s^2

\boxed{a_c=1.44\ m/s^2}

Engineers tasked with building a car bumper need high-quality plastic that is readily available. They found the material polycar
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The material must be durable (quality of the material requirement)

Explanation:

The design criteria set for the materials used for technological design are;

1) The materials should be affordable (less costly)

2) The materials should be last for a long duration (high durability)

3) The material should be readily available (easily sourced)

Therefore, given that the engineers initially had the criteria for the required plastic to be of high quality and to be readily available, and that the poly-carbonate they found is long lasting and not too costly, the criteria met that was set initially was the  quality criteria of durability.
