consider the motion of projectile A in vertical direction :
v₀ = initial velocity of projectile A in vertical direction = 0 m/s (since the projectile was launched horizontally)
a = acceleration of the projectile = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
t = time of travel for projectile A = 3.0 seconds
Y = vertical displacement of projectile A = height of the cliff = h = ?
using the kinematics equation along the vertical direction as
Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
h = (0) (3.0) + (0.5) (9.8) (3.0)²
h = 44.1 m
Given
v = 343 m/s
ac = 5g
ac = 5*9.8 m/s^2
ac = 49 m/s^2
where,
v: velocity
ac = centripetal aceleration
Procedure
We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion—resulting from a net external force—the centripetal acceleration ac; centripetal means “toward the center” or “center seeking”.
Formula
The minimum radius not to exceed the centripetal acceleration is 2401 m.
Ek = 1/2 mv^2
If they are travelling at the same speed the one with the larger mass will have more kinetic energy as kinetic energy and mass are proportional.
Answer/ Explanation
the loop has no force and the wires cancel each other but the wire on the loop has a force
The segment a get the same force for both but in the loop segment b get an opposite force so the net force on the loop is smaller
The loop wire has forces that all cancel out while the other straight wire doesn't.
