In short-track speed skating, the track has straight sections and semicircles 16 m in diameter. assume that a 64 kg skater goes

around the turn at a constant 13 m/s. what is the horizontal force on the skater?

The diameter of the semicircular portion of the track is 16 m.
Therefore its radius is
r = 8 m.

The tangential velocity of the skater is 13 m/s.
Therefore the angular speed is
ω = v/r = (13 m/s)/(8 m) = 1.625 rad/s

The horizontal force on the skater is due to centripetal acceleration of
a = r*ω² = (8 m)*(1.625 rad/s)² = 21.125 m/s².

The force acting on the 64-kg skater is
F = m*a = (64 kg)*(21.125 m/s²) = 1352 N

Answer: 1352 N

Which of the following accurately shows how to calculate the weight of a 20kg object
forsale [732]
The answer to your question is "20kgx9.8m/s" because weight is the force an object is exerting on another object, and the formula used to calculate force is <em>Force = Mass * Acceleration</em>.

Why does a Ray of light passing through a glass slab not shown dispersion?​
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light on the slab. As rays of all colours emerge in the same direction (of incidence of white light), hence there is no dispersion, but only lateral displacement.

Use the graph for both answers.
Natasha2012 [34]

1. A. 6.00 sec

The graph shows the velocity of an object (y-axis) versus the time (x-axis). In order to find when the magnitude of the velocity reaches 36.00 km/h, we should find the time t (x-coordinate) at which the velocity (y-coordinate) is 36.

By looking at the graph, we see that this occurs when t=6.00 s.


2. A. positive acceleration

In a velocity-time graph like this one, the slope of the curve corresponds to the acceleration of the object. In fact, acceleration is defined as:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where \Delta v is the variation of velocity and \Delta t is the variation of time. We see that this quantity corresponds to the slope of the curve in the graph (in fact, \Delta v represents the increment of the y coordinate, while \Delta t represents the increment of the x coordinate). So, a positive slope means a positive acceleration: in this case, the slope is positive, so the acceleration is also positive.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

<u>the autumnal equinox (when day and night are of equal length)</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first event occurs around the 22nd or 23rd in the month of September. What usually happens is that regions around the Northern Hemisphere (which includes all of North America and Europe) experience an equal length of day and night.

While the second event occurs around March 20th or 21st mainly observable in countries found in the Southern Hemisphere.
