A child attaches a rubber ball to a string and whirls it around in a circle overhead. If the string is 0.2m long and the ball's

speed is 16 m/s, what is the ball's centripetal acceleration?

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration, $a_c = 1280 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula:

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

Where the speed of the ball, v = 16 m/s

Length of the string, r = 0.2 m

Substituting these parameters into the centripetal equation above:

$a_c = \frac{16^2}{0.2}\\a_c = \frac{256}{0.2}\\a_c = 1280 m/s^2$

<span>During a medical evaluation, the doctor can D. all of the above. It is the doctor's duty to do all of these things - to establish some guidelines for activities, to see whether these programs are appropriate for the person in question, and to help them pick activities that will be safe for them and which they will be able to do without harming their bodies. These are all the things that doctors do in order to help their patients lead a safe and healthy life.</span>

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 7.76 N$

Part b)

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

$x = -19 + t - 3t^3$

$y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2$

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

$a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$a_x = -18t$

$a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)$

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)$

$a_y = -18$

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

$\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j$

at t= 1.1 s we have

$\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j$

now the net force of the object is given as

$\vec F = m\vec a$

$\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)$

$\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j$

now magnitude of the force will be

$F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N$

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}$

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

$v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}$

$v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)$

now at t = 1.1 s

$\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j$

now the direction of the velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})$

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

Two samples of water are mixed together.

horrorfan [7]

Let the cold water go up x degrees.

Let the hot water go down 100 - x degrees.

The formula for heat exchange is m*c*delta t

Givens

Ice

deltat = x

m = 0.50 kg

c = 4.18

Hot water

deltat = 100 - x

m = 1.5 kg

c = 4.18

Formula

The heat up = heat down

0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x) Divide both sides by c

Solution

0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x) Remove the brackets.

0.5x = 150 - 1.5x Add 1.5x to both sides.

0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x Combine like terms

2x = 150 Divide by 2

x = 75

A
