I think F= mv²/r
And F=ma
So, ma = mv²/r
a = v²/r
a = 100/5
a = 20 m/s

Answer:

a = 20 m/s²

Explanation:

The magnitude of the acceleration of an object that moves in a circular path is given by:

a= \sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} +(a_{n})^{2} } Formula (1)

where:  

at = α*R : Formula (2)  :Tangential acceleration

ac = ω²*R :  Formula (3) : Centripetal acceleration

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)  

ω: angular speed  (rad/s)  

R : is radius where the object is located from the center of the circular path

The tangential velocity of the body is calculated as follows:

v = ω*R  Formula (4)

where:  

v is the tangential velocity or linear velocity (m /s)  

ω is the angular speed (rad/s)  

R is radius where the body is located from the center of the circular path

Data

v = 10 m/s : tangential speed of the object (uniform)

R = 10 m

Calculating of ω  (angular speed)

We replace data in the formula (4)

v = ω*R

10 = ω*5

ω = 10 / 5

ω = 2 rad/s

Calculating of the Centripetal acceleration (ac)

We replace ω = 2 rad/s in the formula (3)

ac = ω²*R

ac = (2)²*(5)

ac = 20 m/s²

Calculating of  the tangential acceleration (at)

Because the magnitude of the tangential speed is uniform , then α=0

We replace α=0  in the formula (2)

at =α*R = 0*5

at = 0

Calculating of  the magnitude of the object's acceleration (a)

We replace :  at = 0 and ac = 20 m/s²  in the formula (1)

a= \sqrt{(0)^{2} +(20)^{2} }

a = 20 m/s²

A metal block suspended from a spring balance is submerged in water. You observe that the block displaces 55 cm3 of water and th
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

8977.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3

Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block

Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g

                        = 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N

True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force

m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839

m = 0.4937 kg

Density of block = mass of block / volume of block

= \frac{0.4937}{55\times10^{-6}}

Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3
