A hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 12.0 m at constant speed 4.00 m/s. (a) Find its centripetal acceleration. (b) It cont
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

a) a_c= 1.33 m/s^2

b) a= 1.79 m/s²

   θ = 41.98⁰

Explanation:

arc radius  = 12 m

constant speed = 4.00 m/s

(a) centripetal acceleration

     a_c=\frac{v^2}{R}

     a_c=\frac{4^2}{12}

                  = 1.33 m/s²

(b) now we have given

        a_t= \ 1.20 m/s^2

        now,

         a=\sqrt{a^2_c+ a^2_t}

         a=\sqrt{1.33^2+ 1.20^2}

            a= 1.79 m/s²

 direction

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{a_t}{a_r} )

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1.2}{1.33} )

     θ = 41.98⁰

nikklg [1K]
Ok so I’m pretty sure the answer would be 2 because the mass of the rock would have the same mass on Earth as it has on the moon. Also the Density of a solid object remains constant meaning it doesn’t change. But the weight would change because the Earths gravitational pull is more than that of the moon. I hope this helped!

When does an object possess mechanical energy?
mel-nik [20]
Objects have mechanical energy if they are in motion and/or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energy position (for example, a brick held at a vertical position above the ground or zero height position). A moving car possesses mechanical energy due to its motion (kineticenergy).
