2m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius = 50m

Speed = 10m/s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the cyclist

Solution:

The acceleration of the cyclist is directed inside of the corner because his motion is inward. This is a form of centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration is given by;

a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

v is the velocity

r is the radius

a = $\frac{10^{2} }{50}$ = 2m/s²

A block and tackle is used to lift an automobile engine that weighs 1800 N. The person exerts a force of 300 N to lift the engin

Sidana [21]

Answer:

1800/300 = 6ropes

Explanation:

The engine weighs 1800N and the person exerts a force of 300N, so for him to lift the engine and exerting a force of 300N all through we divide the weight of the engine by the force exerted to know how many ropes are used. Which makes it 6 thereby each rope uses 300N to lift the engine.

**URGENT** Roberto plans to use two transformers to reduce a voltage of 120 V to 4 V. He uses a transformer that has 300 coils i

skelet666 [1.2K]

As we know that in transformers we have

$\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

here we know that

$V_s = 4 Volts$

$V_p = 120 Volts$

$N_s = 50 coils$

$N_p = 300 coils$

now from above equation we will have

$\frac{V}{120} = \frac{50}{300}$

$V = 20 Volts$

now we have to reduce this voltage to final voltage of V = 4 V

so again we will have

$\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

$\frac{4}{20} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

$\frac{N_s}{N_p} = \frac{1}{5}$

so we need to take such a winding whose ratio is 1:5

So it is satisfied in X

$N_p = 60$

$N_s = 12$

so answer will be

An student writes a bird that is divining for prey has speed of _ 10m/s what is wrong with the statement.

Anika [276]

Answer:

The description including its issue is summarized throughout the clarification portion below.

Explanation:

Speed would be a measurement of size. Which has only significance and therefore no path or guidance. Student says acceleration of -10m/s, therefore this assumption is incorrect because this same negative correlation indicates the path.
In reality, this same participant defined the speed (which seems to have two very different motion of an object).
