A child on a spinning playground ride is 0.36 m from the center of the ride. The centripetal force on the child is 19 N. What is

<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>

What is the mass of a stone moving at a speed of 15 meters/second and having a momentum of 7.5 kilogram - meters / seconds
Elanso [62]

Answer:

0.5 kg

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as

p = mv

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

In this problem we have,

v = 15 m/s is the velocity of the stone

p = 7.5 kg m/s is the momentum

Solving for m, we can find the mass of the stone:

m=\frac{p}{v}=\frac{7.5 kg m/s}{15 m/s}=0.5 kg

Explain how the extension of a spring is determined
fgiga [73]

Answer:

For a given spring the extension is directly proportional to the force applied For example if the force is doubled, the extension doubles When an elastic object is stretched beyond its limit of proportionality the object does not return to its original length when the force is removed

Does friction always oppose relative motion?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes relative motion between systems in contact. One of the simpler characteristics of friction is that it is parallel to the contact surface between systems and always in a direction that opposes motion or attempted motion of the systems relative to each other.

Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at 1.8 m/s . A fourth car traveling east at 4.5 m/s catches up wi
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

v = 1.98\ m/s

Explanation:

consider the mass of each train car be m

m₁ = m₂ = m₃ = m

speed of the three identical train

u₁ = u₂ = u₃ = 1.8 m/s

m₄ = m             u₄ = 4.5 m/s

m₅ = m              u₅ = 0 (initial velocity )

final velocity

v₁ = v₂ = v₃ = v₄ = v₅ = v

using conservation of momentum

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ + m₄u₄ + m₅u₅ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃ + m₄v₄ + m₅v₅

m (1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 +4.5) = 5 m v

v = \dfrac{9.9}{5}

v = 1.98\ m/s
