Wow ! This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.
The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is
(speed-squared) / (radius of the circle) .
Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.
We know the radius of the track. We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out. That's what we
need to do first.
Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).
Distance = 10 laps of the track. Well how far is that ? ? ?
1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) = 2.4π meters
10 laps = 24π meters.
Time = 1 minute 20 seconds = 80 seconds
The trains speed is (distance) / (time)
= (24π meters) / (80 seconds)
= 0.3 π meters/second .
NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.
<span> (speed)² / (radius)
= (0.3π m/s)² / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π m²/s²) / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π / 1.2) m/s²
= 0.236 m/s² . (rounded)
If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...
Well, Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .
We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force. </span>
Answer:
c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)
Explanation:
The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by
c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)
where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).
Answer:
If there are equal forces in both directions and there is no motion, the net force is 0 Newtons. This is because you'd be subtracting 100 from 100 which just equals 0.
The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, all while receiving and losing electrons, allowing metals to conduct electricity. Example: copper is a great conductor of electric current.
