A runner is moving at a constant speed of 8.00 m/s around a circular track. If the distance from the runner to the center of the

track is 28.2 m, what is the centripetal acceleration of the runner?
1.13 m/s2
0.284 m/s2
3.53 m/s2
2.27 m/s2

Answer: Last option

2.27 m/s2

Explanation:

As the runner is running at a constant speed then the only acceleration present in the movement is the centripetal acceleration.

If we call a_c to the centripetal acceleration then, by definition

a_c =w^2r = \frac{v^2}{r}

in this case we know the speed of the runner

v =8.00\ m/s

The radius "r" will be the distance from the runner to the center of the track

r = 28.2\ m

a_c = \frac{8^2}{28.2}\ m/s^2

a_c = 2.27\ m/s^2

The answer is the last option

lara [203]

At the ground the ball will always have velocity along the direction of gravity. If upward motion is taken positive it will always have negative velocity at the ground because, if the ball was given an initial upward velocity then gravity will decelerate it and bring it down with a negative final velocity. If the ball is given an initial downward velocity then the ball will be further accelerated by gravity in the downward direction only, again maintaining negative direction. The magnitude however in both cases will be different. the final velocity at the ground will have higher magnitude in case of elevator moving downwards.

o-na [289]

Answer: Here this will help you..

Explanation:

1 kg-m/s to kilogram-force meter/second = 1 kilogram-force meter/second

5 kg-m/s to kilogram-force meter/second = 5 kilogram-force meter/second

10 kg-m/s to kilogram-force meter/second = 10 kilogram-force meter/second

20 kg-m/s to kilogram-force meter/second = 20 kilogram-force meter/second

30 kg-m/s to kilogram-force meter/second = 30 kilogram-force meter/second

40 kg-m/s to kilogram-force meter/second = 40 kilogram-force meter/second

50 kg-m/s to kilogram-force meter/second = 50 kilogram-force meter/second

75 kg-m/s to kilogram-force meter/second = 75 kilogram-force meter/second

100 kg-m/s to kilogram-force meter/second = 100 kilogram-force meter/second
