Answer:

The tangential acceleration is 0 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the wheel = 0.5 m

The point of observation for calculating tangential acceleration = 0.2 m from center.

Tangential speed at the point of observation = 2 m/s

The angular speed of the wheel is a constant.

In order to determine the tangential acceleration, we make use of the following formula:

Tangential acceleration at a point = Angular acceleration × Distance of the point from center

Or, $a_t=\alpha \times r$

Now, angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change of angular speed.

Here, the angular speed of the wheel is a constant. So, the change of angular speed is 0. Therefore, the angular acceleration is also 0 rad/s².

Now, from the above formula, as angular acceleration is 0, the magnitude of tangential acceleration at a point that is 0.2 m from the center of the wheel is also 0 m/s².

At a certain instant, a ball is thrown downward with a velocity of 8.0 m/s from a height of 40 m. At the same instant, another b

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

(a) The two balls collide $2\; \rm s$ after launch.

(b) The height of the collision is $4\; \rm m$ .

(Assuming that air resistance is negligible.)

Explanation:

Let vector quantities (displacements, velocities, acceleration, etc.) that point upward be positive. Conversely, let vector quantities that point downward be negative.

The gravitational acceleration of the earth points dowards (towards the ground.) Therefore, the sign of $g$ should be negative. The question states that the magnitude of $g\!$ is $10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ . Hence, the signed value of $\! g$ should be $\left(-10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right)$ .

Similarly, the initial velocity of the ball thrown downwards should also be negative: $\left(-8.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)$ .

On the other hand, the initial velocity of the ball thrown upwards should be positive: $\left(12\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)$ .

Let $v_0$ and $h_0$ denote the initial velocity and height of one such ball. The following SUVAT equation gives the height of that ball at time $t$ :

$\displaystyle h(t) = \frac{1}{2}\, g \cdot {t}^{2} + v_0 \cdot t + h_0$ .

For both balls, $g = \left(-10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right)$ .

For the ball thrown downwards:

Initial velocity: $v_0 = \left(-8.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)$ .
Initial height: $h_0 = 40\; \rm m$ .

$\displaystyle h(t) = -5\, t^{2} + (-8.0)\, t + 40$ (where $h$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds.)

Similarly, for the ball thrown upwards:

Initial velocity: $v_0 = \left(12\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)$ .
Initial height: $h_0 = 0\; \rm m$ .

$\displaystyle h(t) = -5\, t^{2} + 12\, t$ (where $h$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds.)

Equate the two expressions and solve for $t$ :

$-5\, t^{2} + (-8.0)\, t + 40 = -5\, t^{2} + 12\, t$ .

$t = 2$ .

Therefore, the collision takes place $2\, \rm s$ after launch.

Substitute $t = 2$ into either of the two original expressions to find the height of collision:

$h = -5\times 2^{2} + 12 \times 2 = 4\; \rm m$ .

In other words, the two balls collide when their height was $4\; \rm m$ .

A roller-coaster car has a mass of 1040 kg when fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

a.6373.5 N

b.-3837.6 N

Explanation:

Mass of roller coaster=m=1040 kg

Radius=r=24 ,

a. $v=9.4m/s$

Normal force= $F_N$

According to question

$mg-F_N=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where $g=9.81 m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$1040\times 9.81-F_N=\frac{1040\times (9.4)^2}{24}$

$10202.4-F_N=3828.9$

$F_N=10202.4-3828.9=6373.5 N$

b. $v=18m/s$

$g=9.81 m/s^2$

$1040\times 9.81-F_N=\frac{1040\times (18)^2}{24}$

$10202.4-F_N=14040$

$F_N=10202.4-14040=-3837.6 N$

A 52-kg snow skier is at the top of a 245-m-high hill. After she has gone down a vertical distance of 112 m, what is her total e

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

a. 125 kJ

Explanation:

Her total energy is the same as the potential energy she had at the top of the hill:

PE = mgh

= (52 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(245 m) = 124,852 J

≈ 125 kJ . . . . matches choice A

_____

After skiing down 112 m, some of her initial energy is converted to kinetic energy, and some remains as potential energy. We assume the ski slope is essentially frictionless, and air resistance is negligible.
