A coin completes 18 spins in 12 seconds. The centripetal acceleration of the edge of the coin is 2.2 m/s2. The radius of the coi
nlexa [21]
In order to find the radius of the coin, we need to use:

Ac = V^2 r

In which,  
Ac = acceleration of the coin = 2.2 m/s^2 
V= rotational Speed  =  (18/12) * 2πr
r= Radius

so,
<span>2.2 = 9(π^2)(r^2) / r 
</span><span>= 9(π^2)r
</span>
<span>r = 2.2 / 9(π^2) = 0.02476740044 m . . .or you can rounded it up to 0.025 m</span>

A big league hitter attacks a fastball! The ball has a mass of 0.16 kg. It is pitched at 38 m/s. After the player hits the ball,
Strike441 [17]
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)
Original momentum before the hit = 
                   (0.16 kg) x (38 m/s) this way <==
               =             6.08 kg-m/s  this way <==
Momentum after the hit = 
                   (0.16) x (44 m/s) that way  ==>
               =           7.04 kg-m/s  that way ==>
Change in momentum = (6.08 + 7.04) =  13.12 kg-m/s  that way ==> .-----------------------------------------------
Change in momentum = impulse.
                                   Impulse = (force) x (time the force lasted)
                          13.12 kg-m/s  = (force) x (0.002 sec)
  (13.12 kg-m/s) / (0.002 sec)  =  Force
             6,560 kg-m/s² = 6,560 Newtons  =  Force    
                            ( about 1,475 pounds  ! ! ! )
 Hoped this helped!! ☺

Josh is much bigger than taylor. after the push, which of the two is moving faster?
egoroff_w [7]
If E = 1/2 * m * v^2
v = (2E/m)^1/2
so the larger the mass, the higher the velocity hence taylor is moving faster

Does a race car driver need a faster reaction time then someone driving in a school zone explain your answer
rosijanka [135]
Answer:
Yes, the race car driver needs a faster reaction time than someone driving in a school zone.

Explanation.
For the sake of argument, let us consider
(i) a person driving at 35 mph in a school zone (as a normal driver);
(ii) a person driving at 60 mph in a school zone (as a racing driver).

Suppose a blind pedestrian crosses the road 0.1 miles (about 500 feet)  in front of the driver.
The time before the normal driver hits the pedestrian is
(0.1 /35)*3600 =  10.3 seconds.
The time before the racing driver hits the pedestrian is
(0.1/60)*3600 = 6 seconds.

Because a reaction time of 6 seconds may be insufficient to avoid hitting the pedestrian, the racing driver needs a faster reaction time than the normal driver.
