An airplane flies in a horizontal circle of radius 500 m at a speed of 150 m/s. If the plane were to fly in the same 500 m circl

e at a speed of 300 m/s, by what factor would its centripetal acceleration change

4 0

Answer:

By Factor of 4

Explanation:

The expression for centripetal acceleration is given as,

a = v²/r........... equation 1

Where a = centripetal acceleration, v = speed, r = radius of the circle.

Case 1

Given: v = 150 m/s, r = 500 m

Substitute into equation 1

a = 150²/500

a = 22500/500

a = 45 m/s².

Case 2

Given: v = 300 m/s, r = 500 m

Also substitute into equation 1

a = 300²/500

a = 180 m/s²

Factor of change of the acceleration = 180/45

Factor of change of the acceleration = 4.

Hence the acceleration will change by a factor of 4

What's the difference between a direct relationship and a positive one?
borishaifa [10]
A positive or direct relationship is one in which the two variables (we will generally call them x and y) move together, that is, they either increase or decrease together. In a negative or indirect relationship, the two variables move in opposite directions, that is, as one increases, the other descremases

A cylinder of mass 250 kg and radius 2.60 m is rotating at 4.00 rad/s on a frictionless.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The angular momentum of a cylinder, when it is rotating with constant angular velocity is Lini =Iωi

. When two cylinders are added to the rotating cylinder, which are identical in their dimensions, the moment of inertia of the entire system increases (since mass increases). The final moment of inertia will be 3I

Since friction exist, all the cylinders start rotating with same angular velocity, the new angular velocity can be calculated using conservation of angular momentum

Thus, Iωi =3Iωf ⟹ωf =ωi/3 = 0.33ωi

Non examples of gravity ?
Afina-wow [57]
Floating. When you have no gravity you have nothing to be pushing you down to the floor so that would be an example of no gravity pushing on you.
