Answer:

Centripetal force, F = 133.34 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m = 20 kg

Radius of circle, r = 15 m

Velocity of the object, v = 10 m/s

We have to find the centripetal force of the cart. The centripetal force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$F=\dfrac{20\ kg\times (10\ m/s) ^2}{15\ m}$

F = 133.34 N

Hence, the centripetal force acting on the object is 133.34 N

False. Velocity is a vector and is measured in m/s (in SI, anyway).

PHYSICS HELP PLEASE!! MUST SHOW MATH WORK!!

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

1) Distance traveled by bird = 403 meter

2)Average speed = 1.66 km /hour

3) Zcceleration = 2 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

1) Distance traveled = Speed * Time taken = 31 * 13 = 403 meter.

2) Average speed = Total distance covered / Time taken for that distance to cover.

Total distance covered = 2+0.5+2.5 = 5 km

Time taken = 3 hours

Average speed = 5/3 = 1.66 km /hour

3) Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so acceleration a = change in velocity/time.

Change in velocity = 14 - 6 = 8 m/s

Time = 4 seconds

So acceleration = 8 / 4 = 2 $m/s^2$

What is the change in electric potential energy in moving an electron from a location 3 × 10-10 m from a proton to a location 7

joja [24]

Answer:

4.39 x 10^-19 J

Explanation:

q1 = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

q2 = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

r1 = 3 x 10^-10 m

r2 = 7 x 10^-10 m

The formula for the potential energy is given by

U1 = k q1 q2 / r1 = - (9 x 10^9 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / (3 x 10^-10)

U1 = - 7.68 x 10^-19 J

U2 = k q1 q2 / r2 = - (9 x 10^9 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / (7 x 10^-10)

U2 = - 3.29 x 10^-19 J

Change in potential energy is

U2 - U1 = - 3.29 x 10^-19 + 7.68 x 10^-19 = 4.39 x 10^-19 J

A marble runs off the edge of a table that is 1.5 m high and the marble lands 0.50 m from the base of the table. a. How much tim

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

t = 0.55[sg]; v = 0.9[m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must establish the initial conditions with which we can work.

y = initial elevation = - 1.5 [m]

x = landing distance = 0.5 [m]

We set "y" with a negative value, as this height is below the table level.

in the following equation (vy)o is equal to zero because there is no velocity in the y component.

therefore:

$y = (v_{y})_{o}*t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}\\ where:\\(v_{y})_{o}=0[m/s]\\t = time [sg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[\frac{m}{s^{2}}]\\ -1.5 = 0*t -4.905*t^{2} \\t = \sqrt{\frac{1.5}{4.905} } \\t=0.55[s]$

Now we can find the initial velocity, It is important to note that the initial velocity has velocity components only in the x-axis.

$(v_{x} )_{o} = \frac{x}{t} \\(v_{x} )_{o} = \frac{0.5}{0.55} \\(v_{x} )_{o} =0.9[m/s]$
