<span>Centripetal force is easily calculated as long as you know the mass, </span>m, of the object; its distance, r, from the center; and the tangential velocity, v. This equation is based on the metric system; note that the centripetal force, f, is measured in Newtons. 

 

F = mv^2 / r

19 N = m ( 0.54^2) / ( 0.36)

Solve for m

<span>M = 23.5 kg</span>

You should be extra careful during the hours of sunrise, sunset, and nighttime because
skelet666 [1.2K]

Poor visibility, difficulties in colour perception, lessened colour contrast vision due to darker shadows and reduced peripheral vision, these are the reasons why one has to be extra careful while driving during hours of sunrise, sunset and night time.  

<h3><u> Explanation: </u></h3>

Sunrise, sunset and night time are parts of the day with minimal or absolutely no presence of sunlight. To safely navigate roads, we require enough light in order to detect presence of other vehicles, signs and pedestrians. Less sunlight during sunrise and sunset light the sky but makes the roads and vehicles have a darker, less bright view. The contrast between colours is the least, making it difficult to identify objects and see clearly.  

A rising or a setting sun can also lead to glares on the driver’s view and thus obstruct it. Since a change in ambient light is observed, our eyes need to adjust with this change and this isn’t spontaneous. Night time driving has headlight glares from approaching vehicles and reduced surrounding visibility. The eyes switching for vision adaptability from dark to bright light if vehicles approach and pass by is not a quick action. Hence the driver’s vision is compromised in every such case and this may lead to accidents.

A horizontal force of 100 N is used to pull a crate, which weighs 500 N, at constant velocity across a horizontal floor. What is
Ilya [14]

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

Horizontal force=100N

Weight of crate=500 N

We have to find the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Normal ,N=Weight=500N

Horizontal force,F_x=\mu_kN

Where F_x=Horizontal force

N=Normal force

\mu_k=Coefficient of kinetic friction

Substitute the values in the formula

100=\mu_k(500)

\mu_k=\frac{100}{500}=0.2

Hence, the coefficient of kinetic friction =0.2

A person walks in the following pattern: 3.1 km north, then 2.4 km west, and finally 5.2 km south. a) Sketch the vector diagram
zysi [14]

Answer:

d = 3.19 km

direction is given as

\theta = 41.2 degree South of West

Explanation:

Part b)

displacement is given as

d_1 = 3.1 \hat j

d_2 = 2.4 \hat i

d_3 = 5.2(-\hat j)

now we will have

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3

d = 2.4 \hat i + (3.1 - 5.2)\hat j

d = 2.4 \hat i - 2.1 \hat j

total displacement is given as

d = \sqrt{2.4^2 + 2.1^2}

d = 3.19 km

direction is given as

tan\theta = \frac{-2.1}{2.4}

\theta = 41.2 degree South of West
