Centripetal force and momentum have to do with movement. Gravity cannot balance gravity.

What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it travels around the sun when Earth has an orbital radius of 1.5 x 10^11 m
masya89 [10]

Answer: 0.0058 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration a_{C} is calculated by the following equation:

a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}

Where:

V=29.7 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=29700 m/s is the Earth's orbital speed

r=1.5(10)^{11} m is the orbital radius

a_{C}=\frac{(29700 m/s)^{2}}{1.5(10)^{11} m}

a_{C}=0.0058 m/s^{2}

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 house brick has a volume of 1900 cm³ and a weight in air of 80N.What is its apparent weight in water?The density of water is 1
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

61 N

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of the brick when placed in water. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of brick = 1900 cm³

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of brick in water =…?

Density = mass / volume

1 = mass of brick in water / 1900

Cross multiply

Mass of brick in water = 1 × 1900

Mass of brick in water = 1900 g

Next, we shall convert 1900 g to Kg.

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

1900 g = 1900 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g

1900 g = 1.9 Kg

Next, we shall determine the weight in water. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 1.9 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

W = m × g

W = 1.9 × 10

W = 19 N

Thus, the weight of the brick in water is 19 N.

Finally, we shall determine the apparent weight of the brick in water. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight in air = 80 N

Weight in water = 19 N

Apparent weight =?

Apparent weight = weight in air – weight in water

Apparent weight = 80 – 19

Apparent weight = 61 N

A baseball is launched horizontally from a height of 1.8 m. The baseball travels 0.5 m before hitting the ground. How fast is th
zysi [14]

Answer:

0.83 m/s

Explanation:

FIrst of all, we have to find the time of flight, i.e. the time the baseball needs to reach the ground. This can be done by using the equation for the vertical motion:

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting h = 1.8 m and solving for t,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.8)}{9.8}}=0.61 s

We know that the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is

d = 0.5 m

Therefore, we can find the horizontal velocity (which is constant during the whole motion):

v= \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.5}{0.60}=0.83 m/s
