Acceleration = V^2/r = 18^2/ 30 = 10.8 m/s^2

Well, first of all, 18 m/s is the object's speed, but not its velocity.
Velocity consists of the object's speed AND direction, and this
particular object's direction is constantly changing, since it's
moving around a circle.  So its velocity is constantly changing too.

Centripetal acceleration  =  (speed)² / (radius)

                                           =  (18 m/s)² / (30 m)

                                           = (324 m²/s²) / (30 m)

                                           =       10.8 m/s²

                                       (about  1.1 G)

Answer:

80 meters high

Explanation:

The velocity of the balloon would be g*t (I won't calculate, but will us this later)

We know that the kinetic energy at the bottom equals the potential at the top.

KE = PE

1/2 * m * v^2 = m * g * h

1/2 * m * (g * t)^2 = m * g * h (substitution)

1/2 * m * g^2 * t^2 = m * g * h

1/2 * g * t^2 = h (simplification by dividing the commons between both sides)

h = 1/2 * 9.81 * 4^2

h = 78.48 m (roughly 80 m)

What do we mean by a penetrative pass in the game of football?​
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Penetration means forward passes can go through the opposition lines. Once these penetrative passes get through each line, it eliminates the line of players it broke through and leaves the player in possession closer to the opposition goal.

Paul [167]

Answer:

36 N

Explanation:

If the object of mass, m = 8 kg is swung in a horizontal circle of radius, r = 2m = length of string with tangential velocity v = 3 m/s, the tension in the string is the centripetal force which is T = mv²/r

= 8 kg × (3 m/s)²/2 m

= 4 kg × 9 m/s²

= 36 N
