A ball is tied to the end of a cable of negligible mass. The ball is spun in a circle with a radius 2.00 m making 0.700 revoluti

ons per second. What is the centripetal acceleration of the ball?

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

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s
nevsk [136]

a) 0.94 m

The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:

W=\Delta K\\-F d = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2

where:

F=1.1 \cdot 10^5 N is the force applied by the snow

d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him

m = 68 kg is the man's mass

v = 0 is the final speed of the man

u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)

and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)

Solving the equation for d, we find:

d=\frac{1}{2F}mu^2 = \frac{(68 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{2(1.1\cdot 10^5 N)}=0.94 m

b) -3740 kg m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:

I=\Delta p = m \Delta v

where

m = 68 kg is the mass of the man

\Delta v = 0-55 m/s = -55 m/s is the change in velocity of the man

Substituting,

I=(68 kg)(-55 m/s)=-3740 kg m/s

Suppose two cars depart from a four-way intersection at the same time, one heading north and the other heading west. The car hea
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cars are moving away from the intersection at 90° from each other. The motion can be considered a right angled triangle with perpendicular and base being the speeds of the 2 cars. The hypotenuse is the linear distance between them. By Pytagoras theorem:

a) Distance=\sqrt{a^{2}t + b^{2}t  } where a and b are the speeds of 2 cars.

Distance = \sqrt{40^{2}t + 66^{2}t }=77.2t feet/second

b) Time = 2 hours 45 minutes; Convert this into seconds to get 9900 seconds. The distance formula will give distance in feet so we will divide it by 5280 to get miles

Distance= (77.2*9900)/5280 = 144.8 miles

c) 1 Miles = 5280 feet.

5280=77.2t;

Time=68.4 seconds;

The 2 cars are 1 miles apart after 68.4 seconds.
