Answer:
1.0 x 10^-3 m
Explanation:
1mm = (1/1000) m = 0.001m = 1.0 x 10^-3m (because to get 1.0, you have to movi the decimal point in the "0.001" three spots over to the right)
Potential energy and work done are the same thing as much as kinetic energy and work done are the same thing. Potential energy is a state of the system, a way of storing energy as of virtue of its configuration or motion, while work done in most cases is a way of chaning this energy from one body to another.
To find the change in centripetal acceleration, you should first look for the centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill.
The formula for centripetal acceleration is:
Centripetal Acceleration = v squared divided by r
where:
v = velocity, m/s
r= radium, m
assuming the velocity does not change:
at the top of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 0.25 m
= 81 m/s^2
at the bottom of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 1.25 m
= 16.2 m/s^2
to find the change in centripetal acceleration, take the difference of the two.
change in centripetal acceleration = centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill - centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the hill
= 81 m/s^2 - 16.2 m/s^2
= 64.8 m/s^2 or 65 m/s^2
