Radial acceleration is a=v^2/r. For circular motion, the tangential velocity is v=2pi*r*f.
f is in Hz so 49/60=0.81667Hz.
radius in meters is 0.38m
So a=(2pi*f)^2*r = 10m/s^2

A red blood cell is 7 x 10-6 m in size. This means it is 7 __________ in size. What unit completes the sentence?
aalyn [17]

If a red blood cell is 7 x 10^-^6 m in size, it means that such a cell is 7 microns or micrometer in size. The unit that completes the sentence will, thus, be microns or micrometer.

According to international system of measurement:

  • 10^{-1} m = decimeter
  • 10^{-2} m = centimeter
  • 10^{-3} m = millimeter
  • 10^{-6} m = micrometer or micron
  • 10^{-9} m = nanometer

Thus, a measurement of 7 x 10^-^6 m is the same is 7 micons or 7 micrometer.

A leaf fell from a tree branch. The path it followed is shown in the diagram below.
prisoha [69]

The leaf fell at the crooked path instead of straight down because air currents and gravity applied changing and unbalanced forces to the leaf.

<h3>What is an air current?</h3>

An air current is defined as the changes in atmospheric pressure that causes the movement of air from one area to another.

When a leaf is detached naturally from the tree, it won't fall straight down to the floor but will fall a distance away from the tree due to the action of air current and some unbalanced forces.

Which of the following most easily transfers charge?
raketka [301]
A. Conductors. Because in conductors, gap between valence band and conduction band is negligible. Due to this electrons from valence band moves spontaneously to conduction band and on small heating the conductors.

A small propeller airplane can comfortably achieve a high enough speed to take off on a runway that is 1/4 mile long. A large, f
QveST [7]

Answer:

1 mile

Explanation:

We can use the following equation of motion to solve for this problem:

v^2 - v_0^2 = 2a\Delta s

where v m/s is the final take-off velocity of the airplane, v_0 = 0 initial velocity of the can when it starts from rest, a is the acceleration of the airplanes, which are the same, and \Delta s is the distance traveled before takeoff, which is minimum runway length:

v^2 - 0^2 = 2a\Delta s

\Delta s = \frac{v^2}{2a}

From here we can calculate the distance ratio

\frac{\Delta s_1}{\Delta s_2} = \frac{v_1^2/2a_1}{v_2^2/2a_2}

\frac{\Delta s_1}{\Delta s_2} = \left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right)^2\frac{a_2}{a_1}

Since the 2nd airplane has the same acceleration but twice the velocity

\frac{\Delta s_1}{\Delta s_2} = 0.5^2* 1

\Delta s_2 = 4 \Delta s_1 = 4*(1/4) = 1 mile

So the minimum runway length is 1 mile
