A particle moves at a constant speed in a circular path with a radius of r=2.06 cm. If the particle makes four revolutions each
nataly862011 [7]

The centripetal acceleration is 13.0 m/s^2

Explanation:

For an object in uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by

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

where

v is the speed of the object

r is the radius of the circle

The speed of the object is equal to the ratio between the length of the circumference (2\pi r) and the period of revolution (T), so it can be rewritten as

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

Therefore we can rewrite the acceleration as

a=\frac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2}

For the particle in this problem,

r = 2.06 cm = 0.0206 m

While it makes 4 revolutions each second, so the period is

T=\frac{1}{4}s = 0.25 s

Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{4\pi^2 (0.0206)}{0.25^2}=13.0 m/s^2

an airplane flies at a speed of 100 m/s and starts to accelerate constantly at a rate of 50 m/s2. how fast is the plane flying a
mart [117]

Answer:

331.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 100m/s

Acceleration  = 50m/s²

Distance  = 1km   = 1000m

Unknown:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to apply the right motion equation shown below;

     v²  = u²  + 2aS

 v is the final velocity

 u is the initial velocity

 a is the acceleration

 S is the distance

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

     v² = 100² + (2 x 50 x 1000)

     v² = 110000

     v = √110000  = 331.7m/s

The expansion of the universe has also been compared to the inflation of a balloon. Suppose that before you inflate the balloon,
Alona [7]

Answer:

That the universe (the balloon for this case) is expanding and that is the reason why the galaxies (the dots) appear to move away one from another.

Explanation:

By means of looking at the spectra of galaxies, it can confirm that they are moving away in an accelerated motion.  

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect). The source in this particular case is represented for each of the galaxies.      

                           

Hence, the redshift represents this shift of the spectral lines to red part in the spectrum of a galaxy or any object which is moving away. That is a direct confirmation of how the universe is in an expanding accelerated motion.

The redshift can be define in analitic way by trought the doppler velocity:

v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}  (1)      

Where \Delta \lambda is the wavelength shift, \lambda_{0} is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

v = c(\frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}})

\frac{v}{c} = \frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}}  

z = \frac{\lambda_{measured}-\lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}} (2)

Where z is the redshift.      

                                           

The ballon example, once that it is inflating, represents how is the universe which it is expanding and that is the reason why the galaxies (the dots) appear to move away one from another.
