Answer:

F / g = 138 kg

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

    F- W = m a

the force is equal to the back of the balance

in this case the acceleration is centripetal

    a = v² / r

we substitute

   F - m g = m v² / r

   F = m (g + v²/ r)

calculus

   F = 80 (9.8 + 11²/17)

   F = 1353 N

the balance reading is this value between gravity

   F / g = 1353 / 9.8

   F / g = 138 kg

Eddi Din [679]

To increase the centripetal acceleration to 2.00 m/s^2, you can double the speed or decrease the radius by 1/4

Explanation:

An object is said to be in uniform circular motion when it is moving at a constant speed in a circular path.

The acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is called centripetal acceleration, and it is given by

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

where

v is the speed of the object

r is the radius of the circular path

In the problem, the original centripetal acceleration is

a=0.50 m/s^2

We want to increase it by a factor of 4, i.e. to

a'=2.00 m/s^2

We notice that the centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed and inversely proportional to the radius, so we can do as follows:

- We can double the speed:

v' = 2v

This way, the new acceleration is

a'=\frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a

so, 4 times the original acceleration

- We can decrease the radius to 1/4 of its original value:

r'=\frac{1}{4}r

So the new acceleration is

a'=\frac{v^2}{(r/4)}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a

so, the acceleration has increased by a factor 4 again.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

F = qE

so here the force is tension force on it

F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N

Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C

now we have

6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E

E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C

direction is Horizontal

Determine whether each of the statements below is true or false, and place it in the appropriate bin. Objects with equal speeds
lisov135 [29]

Objects with equal speeds definitely have equal velocities. -- FALSE.  For equal velocities, they also have to be going in the same direction.

If you are given an object's velocity, you can definitely determine its speed. -- TRUE.  If you know the velocity, then you know both the object's speed and its direction.

If you know the distance an object travels, and the time it takes to do so, you can determine the object's velocity. -- FALSE. Knowing the distance and time, you can figure out the object's speed.  But if you don't also know the direction it's moving, then you can't say what its velocity is.

If an object moves at constant speed, it must also be moving at constant velocity. -- FALSE.  Besides constant speed, it also needs to move in a straight line to have constant velocity.  If it turns, its velocity changes, even if its speed doesn't.

If an object moves at constant velocity, it must also be moving at constant speed. -- TRUE.  Constant velocity means its speed AND its direction are not changing.

Objects with equal velocities definitely have equal speeds. -- TRUE.  If their velocities are equal, then their speeds are equal AND they're moving in the same direction.

After laboring through this one, I'm wondering if there can possibly be any more ways to say the same thing.

Earthquakes are caused by movement of the Earth's crust. What causes the Earth's crust to move?
fomenos

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or a tectonic shift.
