Centripetal acceleration = (speed)²/(radius) .

We know the radius.  We have to find the speed.

Speed around a circle = (circumference) / (time to go around)

The circumference of the circle is  (2 π) (radius) = 4 π meters.

We don't exactly know the time to go around.
We know that the ball goes around 0.7 times/second.
Flip that over, and you have  time to go around = second/0.7 .

So now, the centripetal acceleration is

                                   (speed)²/(radius) .

                             =  (4π meters · 0.7/sec)² / (2 meters)

                             =  (4π · 0.7 / 2)    m/s²

                             =      about        4.4 m/s²

Mr. Stephenson drives his car from Dallas to Town X, a distance of 437 km. The trip takes 7.27 hours. What is the average speed
klasskru [66]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Distance covered = 437 km = 437,000 meters

Time to cover the distance = (7.27 hrs) x (3600 sec/hr) = 26,172 seconds

Average speed = (437,000 meters) / (26,172 seconds)

Average speed = 16.7 m/s

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, assuming any losses.

Kinetic energy is given by ½mv²

Potential energy is given by mgh

Where m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Equating kinetic energy to be equal to potential energy then

½mv²=mgh

V

Making v the subject of the formula

v=√(2gh)

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g and 10 m for h then

v=√(2*9.81*10)=14.0071410359145 m/s

Rounding off, v is approximately 14 m/s

On what factors does critical velocity depend on
ASHA 777 [7]

Explanation:

The critical velocity is that velocity of liquid flow, up to which its flow is streamlined (laminar)& above which its flow becomes turbulent. It's denoted by Vc & it depends upon: Coefficient of viscosity of liquid (η) Density of liquid. Radius of the tube.

Controlling the amount of current in a circuit by opposing the flow of charge
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Resistor

Explanation:

Resistor provides resistance to the flow of electric current in a circuit.

It controls the amount of current in a circuit by acting as a barrier to the flow of electric charges
