Answer:
The vector form is as shown in the attachment
Explanation:
The figure as shown in the diagram, indicates that the car is moving along the road at a constant speed. Centripetal acceleration comes into play for an object moving in a circular motion at uniform speed. The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration experienced by an object while in uniform circular motion.
Mathematically from centripetal acceleration; a = v2/r
The equation shows that there is an inverse relationship between the acceleration and the radius of curvature as such the radius of curvature at the point A will be more than the radius of curvature at the point C, this shows that the centripetal acceleration at point C will be more than the centripetal acceleration at point A.
The attachment shows the figure and the representation in vectorial form.
Answer: -4.4 m/s
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle, which establishes that the initial momentum must be equal to the final momentum
:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
is the mass of the child
is the initial velocity of the child
is the mass of the adult
is the initial velocity of the adult (it is sitting still)
is the final velocity of the child
is the final velocity of the adult
Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):
(4)
Isolating :
(5)
(6)
Finally:
This means the velocity of the child is in the opposite direction
