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.

Describe how engineers designed a parachute to create the forces needed to slow down the falling person.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down. Sorry if not helpful.

If a road does not have a bicycle lane, where must a bicyclist ride their bicycle?
DIA [1.3K]
A bicyclist can ride their bicycle still on the road. Bicycle riders be able to take the public ways which has the similar rights and accountability as motorists and are subject to the same guidelines and protocols. The law says that individuals who ride bikes should ride as nearby to the right side of the road as likely excluding under the following conditions: when passing, preparing for a left go, evading risks, if the lane is too constricted to share, or if oncoming a place where a right turn is approved. In a road which has a bike lane the bicyclists roving slower than road traffic must custom the bike way excluding when creating a left turn, passing, evading hazardous settings, or impending a place where a right turn is approved.

The car starts from a room with a constant acceleration of 5 ms-2. What path will it pass in 6 seconds and what speed will it re
Kobotan [32]

Answer: The speed will be  30 m/s .

Explanation:

Given: Initial velocity of the car: u = 0 m/s

Constant Acceleration: a = 5 m/s²

Time: t= 6 seconds

To find: Final velocity(v)

Formula:  v = u+at

Substitute values in the formula, we get

v=  0+(5)(6) m/s

⇒ v= 30 m/s

i.e. Final velocity = 30 m/s

Hence, the speed will be 30 m/s .
