A typical running track is an oval with 74-mm-diameter half circles at each end. A runner going once around the track covers a d

istance of 400 mm . Suppose a runner, moving at a constant speed, goes once around the track in 1 minmin 40 s.What is her centripetal acceleration during the turn at each end of the track?

The centripetal acceleration a is 4.32 \times 10^-4 m/s^2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed is constant and computing the speed from the distance and time for one full lap.

Given, distance = 400 mm = 0.4 m,       Time = 100 s.

Computing the v = 0.4 m / 100 s

                         v = 4 \times 10^-3 m/s.

radius of the circular end r = 37 mm = 0.037 m.

            centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / r

                                                        = (4 \times 10^-3)^2 / 0.037

                                                    a = 4.32 \times 10^-4 m/s^2.

A triangle has sidesof length 12cm 16cm and 21 cm determine the 3 angles contained in a triangle
Deffense [45]
Angles will probably be 96° 35° and 49°
I tried to explain it with the working out, just re arrange the cosine rule for angles instead of side lengths.
if you need it explaining at all just message me :)
hoped it helped

Which of the following is prohibited by the 2nd law of thermodynamics?
vitfil [10]

(A) A device that converts heat into work with 100% efficiency

It clearly violates the second law of thermodynamics because it warns that while all work can be turned into heat, not all heat can be turned into work. Therefore, despite the innumerable efforts, the efficiencies of the bodies have only been able to reach 60% at present.
