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>

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

8). without air resistance, the ball is traveling horizontally at 13 km/hr, and it lands back in your hand

9). a). 4.49 m/s;  b). 29.7 m/s

10). 7.24 meters

11).  700 meters

12).  A). 103.7 meters ( ! she's in big trouble ! );     B).  17.5 meters

A hockey puck is sliding across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 9.3 m/s. It comes to rest after sliding a distance of 42.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed, u = 9.3 m/s

sliding distance, S = 42 m

From equation of motion we determine the acceleration;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = (9.3)² + (2x42)a

- 84a = 86.49

a = -86.49/84

|a| = 1.0296

F_k = \mu_k N = ma

where;

Fk is the frictional force

μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal reaction = mg

μkmg = ma

μkg = a

μk = a/g

where;

g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

μk = a/g

μk = 1.0296/9.8

μk = 0.11

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

When performing the spike the ball should be hit with the ?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

When you are performing spike it's most effective to strike the ball from the right or left side at a sharp downward angle. Whether you are spiking the ball from the right or left front position, position yourself behind the 10-foot line (attack line), which is the line that is about four steps away from the net.
