To find the change in centripetal acceleration, you should first look for the centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill.
The formula for centripetal acceleration is:
Centripetal Acceleration = v squared divided by r
where:
v = velocity, m/s
r= radium, m
assuming the velocity does not change:
at the top of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 0.25 m
= 81 m/s^2
at the bottom of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 1.25 m
= 16.2 m/s^2
to find the change in centripetal acceleration, take the difference of the two.
change in centripetal acceleration = centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill - centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the hill
= 81 m/s^2 - 16.2 m/s^2
= 64.8 m/s^2 or 65 m/s^2
Answer:
E=252J
Explanation:
The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:
E mech=K+U
Where K is the kinetic energy of the object and U is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy is given by:
Ug=mgh
Where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, and h is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground 21 m below.
The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.
W=→Fg=mg
We are given that the carriage weighs 12 N, therefore mg=12N.
Ug=12N⋅21m
⇒Ug=252Nm=252J
Hope it helped, God bless you!
Alnilam is the brightest star
Absolute brightness is how bright the star actually is. Apparent brightness is how bright the star looks.
Factors that influence how bright a star looks is distance. The fact that Alnilam has the same apparent brightness of the other two stars even though it is farther away, means that it is brighter.
Answer:
48 degress
Explanation:
An earthquake causes many different intensities of shaking in the area of the epicenter where it occurs. So the intensity of an earthquake will vary depending on where you are. Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. In the United States, we use the Modified Mercalli Scale. Earthquake intensity is a ranking based on the observed effects of an earthquake in each particular place. Therefore, each earthquake produces a range of intensity values, ranging from highest in the epicenter area to zero at a distance from the epicenter.
