Answer:

(C) Decreases by factor of 3

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given by

a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}

where <em>v</em> is the linear velocity and <em>r</em> is the radius of the curve.

Let the centripetal acceleration on the curve of radius <em>R</em> be a_1.

Then

a_1 = \dfrac{v_i^2}{R}

Let the centripetal acceleration on the curve of radius 3<em>R</em> be a_2.

Then

a_2 = \dfrac{v_i^2}{3R} = \dfrac{1}{3}\dfrac{v_i^2}{R} = \dfrac{1}{3}a_1

Here, we see that the acceleration decreases by a factor of 3.

(8c8p49) A 115g Frisbee is thrown from a point 1.00 m above the ground with a speed of 12.00 m/s. When it has reached a height o
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Frisbee, m = 115 g = 0.115 kg

Initial speed of Frisbee, u = 12 m/s at a point 1 m above the ground

Final speed of Frisbee , v = 10.9674 m/s when it has reached a height of 2.00 m. Let W is the work done on the Frisbee by its weight. According to work energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. So,

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.115\times\left((10.9674)^{2}-(12)^{2})\right)\\\\W=-1.36\ J

So, the work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A vehicle that goes from 5m/s to 45m/s in 8s. what is its acceleration?
GaryK [48]

Answer: 5m/s^2

Explanation:

V= 45m/s

U = 5m/s

t = 8s

a =?

V = u + at

45 = 5 + 8a

8a = 45 — 5

8a = 40

a = 40 / 8

a = 5m/s^2
