A snowball is rolling down a hill at 4.5 m/s and accumulating snow as it goes. Its diameter begins at 0.50 m and ends at the bot

tom of the hill at 2.5 m. What is the snowball's change in centripetal acceleration from the top of the hill and the bottom of the hill?

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

A solid disk of mass 2 kg and radius 2 m is given a horizontal push of 20N at a point .3 m above its center. a. What is the mini
Margaret [11]

Answer:

\mu_s=1.0205

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of solid disk, m=2\ kg
  • radius of disk, r=2\ m
  • force of push applied to disk, F=20\ N
  • distance of application of force from the center, s=0.3\ m

<em>For the condition of no slip the force of  static friction must be greater than the applied force so that there is no skidding between the contact surfaces at the contact point.</em>

\therefore F

where:

f_s = static frictional force

\Rightarrow 20

\Rightarrow 20

\Rightarrow 20

\mu_s>1.0204

Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s
kkurt [141]

Answer:

B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.

Explanation:

It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.

For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by \Delta T is mC\Delta T (S.I. unit = Joules).

where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.  

But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat

(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water
