If the runner is running in a circular track then yes when something or someone is moving in a circular motion at a constant speed they are indeed accelerating. They’re accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing

An 8.5 kg crate is pulled 5.1 m up a 30 degree incline by a rope angled 17 degrees above the incline. The tension in the rope is
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1. a W_t=746.63 J

  b E_p=212.415 J

  c W_n=183.96J

2. T_e=99.71J

Explanation:

a). The work done by the tension is:

W_t=T*dt

dt=\frac{5.1}{cos(17)}

W_t=140N*\frac{5.1}{cos(17)}

W_t=746.63 J

b). The work done potential of gravity

E_p=m*g*h

h=5.1*sin(17)

E_p=8.5kh*9.8*5.1*sin(30)

E_p=212.415 J

c). The work done by the normal force

W_n=N*d_n

d_n=5.1*sin(30)=2.55

W_n=8.5kg*9.8*cos(30)*2.55

W_n=183.96J

2. The increase in thermal energy is:

T_e=F*d

F_k=u_k*m*g=0.271*8.5kg*9.8*cos(30)

F_k=19.5N

T_e=19.55*5.1m

T_e=99.71J

A policeman is chasing a criminal across a rooftop at 10 m/s. He decides to jump to the next building which is 2 meters across f
Alexus [3.1K]
At 10 m/s, it will take
  (2 m)/(10 m/s) = 0.2 s
to bridge the gap.

_____
However, it will take an additional 0.514 seconds (0.714 s total) for the policeman to land on the building below. The answer depends on the meaning of the question.

A light beam is traveling through an unknown substance. When it exits that substance and enters into air, the angle of reflectio
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

0.79

Explanation:

Using Snell's law, we have that:

n(1) * sin θ1 = n(2) * sinθ2

Where n(1) = refractive index of air = 1.0003

θ1 = angle of incidence

n(2) = refractive index of second substance

θ2 = angle of refraction

The angle of reflection through the unknown substance is the same as the angle of incidence of air. This means that θ1 = 32°

=> 1.0003 * sin32 = n(2) * sin42

n(2) = (1.0003 * sin32) / sin42

n(2) = 0.79
