Let us say that v is the tangential velocity of the object, a to be the centripetal (which acts towards the center of the circle) acceleration and F as the centripetal force, r to be the radius of the circle and m is mass of the child. <span>

a = v^2 / r 

F = ma = mv^2/r 

Applying the given values to the equation: 

F=30*(5^2/5) => 30*(25/5) => 30*5 => 150 Newtons</span>

Now work is Force times distance, the distance is simply the circumference of the circle.

d = C = 2 * pi * r = 2 * pi * 5 = 10π m

 

W = F * d = 150 N * 10π m

<span>W = 1500π J = 4712.39 J</span>

A race car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 69 mph in 4.5 s.
Marizza181 [45]
For this question we should apply
a = v^2 - u^2 by t
a = 69 - 0 by 4.5
a = 69 by 4.5
a = 15.33
a = 6.85 m/s^2

If the answer in option is near to answer then , you can mark it as correct.
.:. The acceleration is 6.9 m/s^2

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 250 N. (a) How much does the suited astronaut weigh on Earth?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)1500N

b)153.06kg

Explanation:

F = ma

g(moon) = is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

g(earth) is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth

g(moon) = 1/6g(earth)

g(earth) =6g(moon)

F(gearth) = mg(earth)

               = m 6g(moon)

               = 6 × 250

               = 1500N

b) F(gearth) = mg(earth)

m = F /g

 = 1500/9.8

 = 153.06kg

Calculate the velocity of a 1650kg satellite that is in a circular orbit of 4.2 x 10^6m above the surface of a planet which has
Anastasy [175]
-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed. 
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.

-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.

Since the planet's radius is  3.95 x 10⁵m  and the satellite is
orbiting  4.2 x 10⁶m  above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is

                               (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)

                     =        (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)

                     =           45.95 x 10⁵ m

The circumference of the orbit is  (2 π R) =  91.9 π x 10⁵ m.

The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is

                                     (91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr

                        =        45.95 π x 10⁵  m/hr  x  (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

                        =           0.04 x 10⁵      m/sec

                        =              4 x 10³      m/sec  

                                     (4 kilometers per second)

Tremendous energy is released by nuclear reactions is a measure of the energy required to bond the nucleus together. Where does
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Fission is the opposite of fusion and releases energy only when heavy nuclei are split. As noted in Fusion, energy is released if the products of a nuclear reaction have a greater binding energy per nucleon than the parent nuclei.

The amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only 0.1 percent of the original nuclei is converted to energy. Daughter nucleus, energy, and particles such as neutrons are released as a result of the reaction

Two piano strings produce beats. Frequencies of the strings are 1560 Hz. and 1563 Hz. Choose the correct frequency of the beats.
kakasveta [241]

Beat frequency is given by the difference of two frequencies played together

f_{beat} = |f_1 - f_2|

given that

f_1 = 1560 Hz

f_2 = 1563 Hz

Now

f_{beat} = |1560- 1563| Hz

f_{beat} = 3 Hz
