If you run your boat aground, the first thing you should do is to calmly assess the situation. In case you have passengers on your boat, you should have them don PFDs (personal flotation devices). Afterwards, you should turn off the engine, check if there is any damage, and generally see if everything is okay.

Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diameter

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

diameter of circular room = 8 m

rotational velocity of the rider = 45 rev/min

= $45 \times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

=4.712 rad/s

here in this case normal force is equal to centripetal force

N = m r ω²

N = m x 4 x 4.712²

N = 88.83m

frictional force = μ N

= 88.83m x μ

now, for the body to not to slide

gravity force is equal to frictional force

m g = 88.83 m x μ

g = 88.83 x μ

9.8 = 88.83 x μ

μ = 0.11

hence, the correct answer is option C

A skier starts from rest down a slope 500.0 M long, the skier accelerates at a constant rate of 2.00 m/s/s, what's the velocity

nevsk [136]

We can use the kinematic equation
$(v_f)^2 = (v_i)^2 + 2*a*d$
where Vf is what we are looking for
Vi is 0 since we start from rest
a is acceleration
and d is the distance

we get
(Vf)^2 = (0)^2 + 2*(2)*(500)
(Vf)^2 = 2000
Vf = about 44.721
or 44.7 m/s [if you are rounding this by significant figures]

Explanation:

So the equation for a pendulum period is: $y=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ where L is the length of the pendulum. In this case I'll use the approximation of pi as 3.14, and g=9.8 m\s. So given that it oscillates once every 1.99 seconds. you have the equation:
