To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.

We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.

Our data is given as:

\omega = 1.25 rad/s \rightarrow The angular speed

\alpha = 0.745 rad/s2 \rightarrow The angular acceleration

r = 4.65 m \rightarrow The distance

The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is

v = r\omega

Where,

r = Radius

\omega = Angular velocity

At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is

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

a_c = \frac{(r\omega)^2}{r}

a_c = \frac{r^2\omega^2}{r}

a_c = r \omega^2

a_c = (4.65 )(1.25 rad/s)^2

a_c = 7.265625 m/s^2

Now the tangential acceleration is given as,

a_t = \alpha r

Here,

\alpha = Angular acceleration

r = Radius

\alpha = (0.745)(4.65)

\alpha = 3.46425 m/s^2

Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be

|a| = \sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}

|a| = \sqrt{(7.265625)^2+(3.46425)^2}

|a| = 8.049 m/s^2 \approx 8.05 m/s2

Therefore the correct answer is C.

A football is thrown vertically with an initial velocity of 33m/s. Calculate the velocity of the ball when it’s height increased
tatyana61 [14]

The final velocity becomes 31.48 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Initial velocity, u = 33 m/s

Height, h = 5m

Final velocity, v = ?

According to Newton's law:

v² - u² = 2gh

where,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and

g = 9.8 m/s²

On substituting the values we get:

v^2 - (33)^2 = 2 X -9.8 X 5\\\\v^2 - 1089 = -98\\\\v^2 = 991\\\\v = 31.48 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity becomes 31.48 m/s

Okay, hun. Velocity is a vector quantity that measures displacement over a period of time. Velocity = Speed/Time (v=s/t). Hope this helped you. I took physics over 4 years ago. I'm more of a biology/chemistry person. (I major in those)
