Answer:

a = 12.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

To find the centripetal acceleration you use the following formula:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}   (1)

v: tangential speed of the rock = 17.90mph

r: radius of the orbit = 1000cm/2 = 500cm = 0.5m

You first change the units of the tangential velocity in order to replace the values of v and r in the equation (1):

17.90mph*\frac{1609.34m}{1\ m}*\frac{1\ h}{3600\ s}=8m/s

Then, you use the equation (1):

a_c=\frac{(8m/s)^2}{5m}=12.8\frac{m}{s^2}

hence, the centripetal acceleration is 12.8 m/s^2

maria [59]

Answer:

<h2>17.1 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

3800 g = 3.8 kg

We have

force = 3.8 × 4.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>17.1 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

If a cars velocity is slowing down is it considered a positive or negative acceleration?
Natali [406]

Answer:

Negative

Explanation:

Observe that the object below moves in the positive direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the _____________ of the electric field.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer;

the potential difference

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the potential difference of the electric field

Explanation;

An electric current results from the collective movement of free charges under the effect of an electric field. An electric field exists and can be observed in the space around a single charge or a number of charges.

Electric fields cause charges to move. It stands to reason that an electric field applied to some material will cause currents to flow in that material. In other words, the current density is directly proportional to the electric field. The constant of proportionality σ is called the material’s conductivity.
