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 small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) $v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}$

b) $v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block, $m'=0.02\kg$

velocity of the lighter block, $u'=0.68\ m.s^{-1}$

mass of the heavier block, $m=0.04\ kg$

velocity of the heavier block, $u=0\ m.s^{-1}$

Using conservation of linear momentum:

$m'.u'+m.u=m'.v'+m.v$

where:

$v'=$ final velocity of the lighter block

$v=$ final velocity of the heavier block

$m'.u'=m'.v'+m.v$

$m'(u'-v')=m.v$ ........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

$\frac{1}{2}m'.u'^2=\frac{1}{2}m'.v'^2+\frac{1}{2}m.v^2$

$m'(u'^2-v'^2)=m.v^2$

$m'(u'-v')(u'+v')= m.v^2$

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

$v=u'+v'$ .............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

$m'(u'-v')=m(u'+v')$

$\frac{m'+m}{m'-m} =\frac{u'}{v'}$

$\frac{0.02+0.04}{0.02-0.04} =\frac{0.68}{v'}$

$v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}$ (negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

$m'(u'-v+u')=m.v$

$2m'.u'=(m-m')v$

$2\times 0.02\times 0.68=(0.04-0.02)\times v$

$v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}$

What is the direction of the force for a negative charge moving downward in a magnetic field pointing to the left?

velikii [3]

Answer: A

Out of the screen

Explanation:

Using right hand rule, the magnetic force is perpendicular to the plane form by the magnetic field of a charged particle and its speed. Which will be into the screen.

But the negative charged particle moves in the opposite direction of the positive charged particle. Therefore, the magnetic force direction will be out of the screen
