A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of

40 m. If he completes the 200 m dash in 24.0 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race, what is the magnitude of his centripetal acceleration (in m/s2) as he runs the curved portion of the track?

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the runner is 1.73\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

A runner completes the 200 m dash in 24.0 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race. We need to find the centripetal acceleration as he runs the curved portion of the track. We know that the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

v is the velocity of runner

v=\dfrac{200\ m}{24\ s}\\\\v=8.34\ m/s

Centripetal acceleration,

a=\dfrac{(8.34)^2}{40}\\\\a=1.73\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the runner is 1.73\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A) Gravitational Force is greater in S.

B) Time taken to fall a given distance in air will be greater for F.

C) Both will take same time to fall in a vacuum.

D) Total force is greater in S.

Explanation:

(a) In this case, the gravitational force of S will be greater, because Newton's Second Law states that - F = ma, or weight =mg. g is constant. And mass of the solid metal is heavier.

(b) In this case, the time it will take for F to fall from a given distance in air will be greater than that of S, since the air resistance is not negligible (as in the case of S).

(c) In this, It will take same time for S and F because in a vacuum, there are no air particles, so there is no air resistance and gravity is the only force acting and so objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

(d) The total force will be greater in S than F because Force=ma and S is of heavier mass than F.

A rotating object starts from rest at t = 0 s and has a constant angular acceleration. At a time of t = 2.5 s the object has an
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

52 rad

Explanation:

Using

Ф = ω't +1/2αt²................... Equation 1

Where Ф = angular displacement of the object, t = time, ω' = initial angular velocity, α = angular acceleration.

Since the object states from rest, ω' = 0 rad/s.

Therefore,

Ф = 1/2αt²................ Equation 2

make α the subject of the equation

α = 2Ф/t².................. Equation 3

Given: Ф = 13 rad, t = 2.5 s

Substitute into equation 3

α = 2(13)/2.5²

α = 26/2.5

α = 4.16 rad/s².

using equation 2,

Ф = 1/2αt²

Given: t = 5 s, α = 4.16 rad/s²

Substitute into equation 2

Ф = 1/2(4.16)(5²)

Ф = 52 rad.

An object starts from rest, and accelerates at 2m/s2 for 10s. How far has it gone in that time
blagie [28]

Answer:

100m

Explanation:

s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

u=0;t=10sec;a=2m/s²

s = 0(10) +  \frac{1}{2}(2 \times  {10}^{2} )

s=10²;100m
