Answer:

1- The acceleration of the object is larger in magnitude the smaller the radius of the circle.

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object in a circular path is

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

As can be seen from the equation, if the radius of the circle is decreases, the magnitude of the acceleration increases.

As for the direction of the acceleration, it is always towards the center, and it is always perpendicular to the direction of the velocity.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

a)54L/min

b)0.845

Explanation:

a) A x V= $A_1V_1+ A_2V_2+A_3V_3$

where suffix 1,2,3 refers to the three pipes.

=27L/min+16L/min+11 L/min

=54L/min

b) A x V=54L/min => $\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$ x v

d= 2 cm

$\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$ x v = 54

v= $\frac{4}{\pi }$ x $\frac{54}{2^2}$

-> $A_1$ x $V_1$ =27L/min => $\frac{\pi }{4} d_1^2$ x $v_1$

$d_1$ = 1.3cm

$\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$ x $v_1$ = 27

$v_1$ = $\frac{4}{\pi }$ x $\frac{27}{1.3^2}$

Next is to find the ratio of speed i.e $\frac{v}{v_1}$

$\frac{4}{\pi }$ x $\frac{54}{2^2}$ / $\frac{4}{\pi }$ x $\frac{27}{1.3^2}$ => $\frac{54}{27}$ $\frac{1.3^2}{2^2}$

$\frac{v}{v_1}$ = 0.845

A 0.15 kg project hits the ground with a speed of 11 m/s. The project comes to rest in 0.015 seconds. What is the net force?

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

ACCORDING TO NEWTONS SECOND LAW;

F = mass * acceleration

F = m(v-u/t)

m is the mass = 0.15kg

v is the final velocity = 11m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

t is the time = 0.015

Substitute;

F = 0.15(11-0)/0.015

F = 0.15(11)/0.015

F = 1.65/0.015

F = 110N

Hence the net force is 110N

Meg walks with a velocity of 0.9 m/s west. She does so while riding on a train that is traveling with a velocity of 2.7 m/s east

Shkiper50 [21]

<span>Velocities are vectors so we can add them!

Let's let +x be East and -x be West.

-0.9 + 2.7 = 1.8

Since our answer is positive that means East so the answer is C.</span>
