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.

Find the acceleration that can result from a net force of 13 N exerted on a 3.6-kg cart. (Note: The unit N/kg is equivalent to m
STatiana [176]

Answer:

a = 3.61[m/s^2]

Explanation:

To find this acceleration we must remember newton's second law which tells us that the total sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

In this case we have:

F = m*a\\\\m=mass = 3.6[kg]\\F = force = 13[N]\\13 = 3.6*a\\a = 3.61[m/s^2]

How can you tell if something has a lot of kinetic energy? How can you tell if something only has a little bit of kinetic energy
dezoksy [38]

Based on the equation KE = 1/2(m)(v^2), Kinetic Energy can be measured based on velocity. If an object has a large velocity, it have a larger kinetic energy than if the velocity is small.

Hope this helps.

What is the formula for kinetic energy
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The formula for kinetic energy is K.E. = 1/2 mv 2 , where "m" stands for mass and "v" stands for velocity. Kinetic energy is typically measured in units of Joules, and 1 Joule is equal to 1 kilogram-meters squared per second squared.

The space shuttle usually orbited Earth at altitudes of around 300.0 km. 1) Determine the time for one orbit of the shuttle abou
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

distance of shuttle from centre of the earth = radius of the orbit

= 6300 + 300 = 6600 km

= 6600 x 10³

Formula of time period of the satellite

T = 2π R /v₀ , v₀ is orbital velocity

v₀ = √gR , ( if height  is small with respect to radius )

T = 2π R /√gR

= 2π√ R /√g

= 2 x 3.14 x √ 6600 x 10³ / √9.8

= 2 x 3.14 x 256.9 x 10 / 3.13

= 5154.41 s

= 5154.41 / 60 minutes

= 85.91 m

85.9 minutes.

2 ) No of sunrise per day = no of rotation per day

= 24 x 60 / 85.9

= 16.76

or 17 sunrises.
