Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object acted upon a force that pulls it toward the center of origin. For constant speed, there is no acceleration, since acceleration is defined as the difference of velocities at an elapsed time. Hence, if speed doubles, then the centripetal acceleration would increase as well.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
5.01 J
Explanation:
Info given:
mass (m) = 0.0780kg
height (h) = 5.36m
velocity (v) = 4.84 m/s
gravity (g) = 9.81m/s^2
1. First, solve for Kinetic energy (KE)
KE = 1/2mv^2
1/2(0.0780kg)(4.84m/s)^2 = 0.91 J
so KE = 0.91 J
2. Next, solve for Potential energy (PE)
PE = mgh
(0.0780kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5.36m) = 4.10 J
so PE = 4.10 J
3. Mechanical Energy , E = KE + PE
Plug in values for KE and PE
KE + PE = 0.91J + 4.10 J = 5.01 J
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Incomplete question: "Each block has a mass of 0.2 kg"
The speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide is 2.9489 m/s
Explanation:
Given data:
θ = angle of the surface = 37°
m = mass of each block = 0.2 kg
v = speed = 0.35 m/s
t = time to collision = 0.5 s
Question: What is the speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide, vf = ?
Change in momentum:




It is neccesary calculate the force:

Here, g = gravity = 9.8 m/s²
