Answer:42.4m/s^2

Explanation:

Velocity(v)=6m/s

Radius(r)=0.85 meter

Centripetal acceleration=(v x v) ➗ r

Centripetal acceleration=(6 x 6) ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=36 ➗ 0.85

Centripetal acceleration=42.4

A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the united nations building.
BaLLatris [955]
The period of one full swing depends on the length of the pendulum and on gravity. The period of each full swing would be longer on the moon, with less gravity.

The rotation of the plane of the swings doesn't depend on the length of the string OR on gravity. It only depends on the latitude of the place where the pendulum hangs, and the rotation period of the body it's located on.

On Earth, it's (24 hours)/(sine of latitude).

On the moon, it would be (27.32 days)/(sine of latitude).

For a freely falling object weighing 3 kg : A. what is the object's velocity 2 s after it's release. B. What is the kinetic ener
Fed [463]

A) 19.6 m/s (downward)

B) 576 J

C) 19.6 m

D) Velocity: not affected, kinetic energy: doubles, distance: not affected

Explanation:

A)

An object in free fall is acted upon one force only, which is the force of gravity.

Therefore, the motion of an object in free fall is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration). Therefore, we can find its velocity by applying the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where:

v is the velocity at time t

u is the initial velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

For the object in this problem, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

u=0 (the object starts from rest)

a=9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the velocity after

t = 2 s

is:

v=0+(9.8)(2)=19.6 m/s (downward)

B)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

It can be calculated using the equation:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

For the object in the problem, at t = 2 s, we have:

m = 3 kg (mass of the object)

v = 19.6 m/s (speed of the object)

Therefore, its kinetic energy is:

KE=\frac{1}{2}(3)(19.6)^2=576 J

C)

In order to find how far the object has fallen, we can use another suvat equation for uniformly accelerated motion:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the object in free fall in this problem, we have:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

t = 2 s (time)

Therefore, the distance covered is

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2)^2=19.6 m

D)

Here the mass of the object has been doubled, so now it is

M = 6 kg

For part A) (final velocity of the object), we notice that the equation that we use to find the velocity does not depend at all on the mass of the object. This means that the value of the final velocity is not affected.

For part B) (kinetic energy), we notice that the kinetic energy depends on the mass, so in this case this value has changed.

The new kinetic energy is

KE'=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2

where

M = 6 kg is the new mass

v = 19.6 m/s is the speed

Substituting,

KE'=\frac{1}{2}(6)(19.6)^2=1152 J

And we see that this value is twice the value calculated in part A: so, the kinetic energy has doubled.

Finally, for part c) (distance covered), we see that its equation does not depend on the mass, therefore this value is not affected.

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
igomit [66]
The total distance traveled by the body is the sum of the distance it traveled for the first five seconds which is 10 m and that of the next five seconds which is 30 meters. Thus, the total distance traveled is 40 m. Dividing this by the time, will give the average speed. The average speed is therefore, 4 m/s. The answer is letter C.
