Answer:

10.53m/s²

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object about a circle. The formula for calculating centripetal acceleration is expressed by:

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

v is the velocity of the car = 24.5m/s

r is the radius of the track = 57.0m

Substitute the given values into the formula:

a = \frac{24.5^2}{57} \\\\a = \frac{600.25}{57}\\ \\a = 10.53m/s^{2}

Hence the centripetal acceleration of the race car is 10.53m/s²

Vilka [71]

Answer:

\rho=995.50\ kg.m^{-3}

\bar w=9765.887\ N.m^{-3}

s=0.9955

Explanation:

Given:

  • volume of liquid content in the can, v_l=0.355\ L=3.55\times 10^{-4}\ L
  • mass of filled can, m_f=0.369\ kg
  • weight of empty can, w_c=0.153\ N

<u>So, mass of the empty can:</u>

m_c=\frac{w_c}{g}

m_c=\frac{0.153}{9.81}

m_c=0.015596\ kg

<u>Hence the mass of liquid(soda):</u>

m_l=m_f-m_c

m_l=0.369-0.015596

m_l=0.3534\ kg

<u>Therefore the density of liquid soda:</u>

\rho=\frac{m_l}{v_l} (as density is given as mass per unit volume of the substance)

\rho=\frac{0.3534}{3.55\times 10^{-4}}

\rho=995.50\ kg.m^{-3}

<u>Specific weight of the liquid soda:</u>

\bar w=\frac{m_l.g}{v_l}=\rho.g

\bar w=995.5\times 9.81

\bar w=9765.887\ N.m^{-3}

Specific gravity is the density of the substance to the density of water:

s=\frac{\rho}{\rho_w}

where:

\rho_w= density of water

s=\frac{995.5}{1000}

s=0.9955

A boy standing throws a penny horizontally at 7.25 m/s out of the window of his apparent buliding. If the window is 10.0 m above
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a 2D problem (parabolic) so we have to think that way. We have to split up the problem into its 2 dimensions to solve it. Think "y-stuff" and "x-stuff".

In the y-stuff category:

v₀ = 0 (initial upwards velocity is 0 since we are told the penny is thrown horizontally)

Δx = -10.0 m (this displacement is negative because the penny lands 10.0 m below the point from which it was thrown)

a = -9.8 m/s/s

t = ? (we need to find the time in this dimension so we can use it in the x dimension to find the displacement, our unknown)

In the "x-stuff" category:

v₀ = 7.25 m/s (this is given)

Δx = ???

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is ALWAYS 0)

t = (we will solve for this in the y-dimension and plug it in here).

In the y dimension:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and plugging in from the y-dimension info:

-10.0=0t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2 which simplifies to

-10.0=-4.9t^2 so

t=\sqrt{\frac{-10.0}{-4.9} } which, to 2 significant digits is

t = 1.4 seconds

Now we will do the same in the x-dimension, using t = 1.4:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in the x-stuff:

Δx = 7.25(1.4)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.4)^2 Notice that the stuff after the + sign goes to 0 cuz of the multiplication of 0, so what we are left with is another form of the d = rt equation:

Δx = 7.25(1.4) + 0 so

Δx = 1.0 × 10¹ m (That's rounded correctly to 2 sig dig's: 10 m from the base of the building).
