Answer:
0.29713 m/s
Explanation:
m = Mass of person
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
v = Velocity
r = Radius = 18 mm
By balancing the forces in the system we have
The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s
Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.
Answer:
2.667m/s to the north and 3.333 m/s to the west
Explanation:
According to law of momentum conservation, the total momentum should be conserved before and after the explosion.
Before the explosion, the momentum was
0.5*2 = 1 kg m/s to the west
Therefore the total momentum after the explosion should be the same horizontally and vertically.
Vertically speaking, it was 0 before the explosion. After the explosion:
0.2*4 + 0.3v = 0
0.3v = -0.8
v = -0.8/0.3 = -2.667 m/s
So the vertical component of the 0.3kg piece is 2.667m/s to the north
Horizontally speaking, since the 0.2kg-piece doesn't move west or east post-explosion:
0.2*0 + 0.3V = 1
0.3V = 1
V = 1/0.3 = 3.333 m/s
So the horizontal component of the 0.3kg piece is 3.333 m/s to the west
