4 is the answer to this question
Answer:
114.86%
Explanation:
In both cases, there is a vertical force equal to the sprinter's weight:
Fy = mg
When running in a circle, there is an additional centripetal force:
Fx = mv²/r
The net force is found with Pythagorean theorem:
F² = Fx² + Fy²
F² = (mv²/r)² + (mg)²
F² = m² ((v²/r)² + g²)
F = m √((v²/r)² + g²)
Compared to just the vertical force:
F / Fy
m √((v²/r)² + g²) / mg
√((v²/r)² + g²) / g
Given v = 12 m/s, r = 26 m, and g = 9.8 m/s²:
√((12²/26)² + 9.8²) / 9.8
1.1486
The force is about 114.86% greater (round as needed).
Answer:
It helps the answer look clean. It also makes the work easier to work with.
Explanation:
Instead of writing a lot of zeros, all you have to do is add exponents to the number to show how much the decimal moved.
