Answer: 1.32 m/s^2
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula
a = ( v^2 ) / r
where a is centripetal acceleration, v is velocity and r is radius.
We know that,
v = 5 m/s
r = 19m
Now,
a = ( v^2 ) / r
a = ( 5^2 ) / 19
a = 25 / 19
a = 1.32 m/s^2
Answer:
24.5 N
Explanation:
The falling object experiences its weight acting downwards and the air resistance in the opposite direction.
The air resistance increases with velocity so there may come a point, depending on the shape of the object and if there is sufficient height, where these 2 forces are equal.
Since the object has no net forces acting on it it will, according to Newton, no longer accelerate but continue with a constant velocity.
This is called Terminal Velocity.
So:
Air resistance = weight

The severity of the seasons on Earth is given not by the distance Earth-Sun but by the tilt of the Earth axis. This happens because that the sun rays are oblique in winter and perpendicular in summer (thus the same quantity of sun rays heats a bigger surface in winter - oblique rays).
The present tild of the Earth axis is 23.5 degrees (from the vertical). If the axis were tilt at 157 degree this would be equivalent to 180-157 =23 degree. Thus the severity of the seasons would be approximately the same but the seasons would be reversed (for example instead of winter we would have summer, instead of summer we would have winter).
