<span> The
failure of the anchovy harvest in 1972 was blamed on El Niño.</span>
The solution for this problem is:
If they feel 50% of their weight that means that the
centripetal force is also 50% of their weight 1g - 0.5g = 0.5g
Then 0.5* 9.8m/s² * 18m = 88.2 would be v²
Then get the square root, the answer would be:
and v = 9.391 m/s is the answer.
C: the mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy was lost to friction.
