To increase the centripetal acceleration to 2.00 m/s^2, you can double the speed or decrease the radius by 1/4

Explanation:

An object is said to be in uniform circular motion when it is moving at a constant speed in a circular path.

The acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is called centripetal acceleration, and it is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v is the speed of the object

r is the radius of the circular path

In the problem, the original centripetal acceleration is

a=0.50 m/s^2

We want to increase it by a factor of 4, i.e. to

a'=2.00 m/s^2

We notice that the centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed and inversely proportional to the radius, so we can do as follows:

- We can double the speed:

v' = 2v

This way, the new acceleration is

a'=\frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a

so, 4 times the original acceleration

- We can decrease the radius to 1/4 of its original value:

r'=\frac{1}{4}r

So the new acceleration is

a'=\frac{v^2}{(r/4)}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a

so, the acceleration has increased by a factor 4 again.

What wave on the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Gamma rays

Gamma rays have the highest frequency.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

An electromagnetic wave requires no medium for its propagation.

It consists of a spectrum of different wavelengths.

Different wavelengths of rays have different energies and different frequencies.

Higher frequency rays have the highest energies.

What is gamma-ray?

These are ionized radiations.

Gamma radiations are obtained from the decay of the atomic nucleus.

It has the highest frequency which is why it can penetrate through matter.

It has the smallest wavelength and highest energy.

The frequency of gamma rays is more than 10^19 cycles per second and wavelength less than 100 picometers.

Why is the weight of the ruler not include in the calculation of moment?​
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Since the distance between the pivot and its weight is zero, the moment of its weight about the pivot (= weight × 0) is zero. Hence, the weight of the ruler can be ignored.

Hope this helps:)

A catapult with a spring constant of 10,000 N/m is used to launch a target from the deck of a ship. The spring is compressed a d
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

(C) 40m/s

Explanation:

Given;

spring constant of the catapult, k = 10,000 N/m

compression of the spring, x = 0.5 m

mass of the launched object, m = 1.56 kg

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

Elastic potential energy of the catapult = kinetic energy of the target launched.

¹/₂kx² = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is the target's  velocity as it leaves the catapult

kx² = mv²

v² = kx² / m

v² = (10000 x 0.5²) / (1.56)

v² = 1602.56

v = √1602.56

v = 40.03 m/s

v ≅ 40 m/s

Therefore, the target's velocity as it leaves the spring is 40 m/s
