Wow ! This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.
The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is
(speed-squared) / (radius of the circle) .
Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.
We know the radius of the track. We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out. That's what we
need to do first.
Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).
Distance = 10 laps of the track. Well how far is that ? ? ?
1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) = 2.4π meters
10 laps = 24π meters.
Time = 1 minute 20 seconds = 80 seconds
The trains speed is (distance) / (time)
= (24π meters) / (80 seconds)
= 0.3 π meters/second .
NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.
<span> (speed)² / (radius)
= (0.3π m/s)² / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π m²/s²) / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π / 1.2) m/s²
= 0.236 m/s² . (rounded)
If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...
Well, Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .
We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force. </span>
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Instant Velocity and Acceleration
</u>
Give the position of an object as a function of time y(x), the instant velocity can be obtained by
Where y'(x) is the first derivative of y respect to time x. The instant acceleration is given by
We are given the function for y
Note we have changed the last term to be quadratic, so the question has more sense.
The velocity is
And the acceleration is
Answer:
D. Friction
Explanation:
Friction is a force that opposes motion. So a perpetual motion machine can never be built because it is impossible to eliminate frictional force. It can only be reduced
Your answer is c steam because steam is a gas...
