Answer:
The centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5
Explanation:
Given;
first radius of the horizontal circle, r₁ = 500 m
speed of the airplane, v = 150 m/s
second radius of the airplane, r₂ = 1000 m
Centripetal acceleration is given as;
At constant speed, we will have;
a₂ = 0.5a₁
Therefore, the centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Motion with Constant Acceleration</u>
A body moves with constant acceleration when the speed changes uniformly in time. The equation used to find the final speed vf is
Where vo is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
The cyclist has an initial speed of vo=10 miles/hour and ends up at vf=20 miles/hour in t=5 seconds.
Both speeds are given in miles/hour and we must convert it to m/s:
1 mile/hour = 0.44704 m/s
10 mile/hour = 4.47 m/s
20 mile/hour = 8.94 m/s
The acceleration is calculated by solving for a:
