1. When sewage treatment plants flood or debris reaches reservoirs and streams, the quality of the water is affected.
2. Storm surges cause beaches to shift and alter shape.
3. During flash floods, riverbanks erode.
Explanation:
The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2). Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.
First, we need to find the radius of curvature. This is given by the equation:
R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|
y' = 2x and y" = 2:
R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|
R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2
At x = √2:
R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2
R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2
R = 27 / 2
R = 13.5
So the centripetal force is:
F = m v² / r
F = m (5)² / 13.5
F = 1.85 m
Answer:
B. 7.5 m/s^2
Explanation:
To find acceleration you need to subtract the final velocity by the starting velocity then divide that by the time
a= v-v/t
a= 60-0/8
a= 60/8
a=7.5 m/s^2
Answer:
Part a)
A = 0.066 m
Part b)
maximum speed = 0.58 m/s
Explanation:
As we know that angular frequency of spring block system is given as

here we know
m = 3.5 kg
k = 270 N/m
now we have


Part a)
Speed of SHM at distance x = 0.020 m from its equilibrium position is given as



Part b)
Maximum speed of SHM at its mean position is given as


In physics the standard unit of weight is Newton, and the standard unit of mass is the kilogram. On Earth, a 1 kg object weighs 9.8 N, so to find the weight of an object in N simply multiply the mass by 9.8 N. Or, to find the mass in kg, divide the weight by 9.8 N.
