Answer:

3947.6 N

Explanation:

Centripetal Force: This is the force that tend to moves a body towards the center of a circle during circular motion.

The formula for centripetal force is

F = mω²r ........................ Equation 1

Where F = Centripetal force, ω = angular velocity, r = radius.

Where π = 3.1415

Given: m = 4 kg, ω = 0.5 rev/s = (0.5×2π) rad/s = 3.1415 rad/s, r = 100 m.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 4(3.1415)²(100)

F = 3947.6 N

Hence the centripetal force on the turbine blade = 3947.6 N

Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go slower or faster than a seismic wave traveling through a liquid? Why?
Snezhnost [94]
You can't answer this question because you aren't giving the specific type of seismic waves. There is an s-wave a p-wave and an l-wave. Those are the basic waves. An S-wave cannot travel through a liquid at all. So, obviously it travels slower than any other seismic wave. 


<span>It would travel faster because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.</span>

Two waves are superposed. one wave has an amplitude of 5 cm, and other has an amplitude of 4 cm. What is the resultant amplitude
Vsevolod [243]
If both waves have the same wavelength, then the amplitude of
their sum could be anything between 1 cm and 9 cm, depending
on the phase angle between them.

If the waves have different wavelengths, then the resultant is a beat
with an amplitude of 9 cm.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

3.1 m/s

Explanation:

The total distance she has to run is the addition of the three lengths:

47 + 63 + 76 = 186 meters.

She needs to cover it one minute (60 seconds). Therefore her speed must be:

186 m / 60 s = 3.1 m/s
