Water drips from the nozzle of a shower onto the floor 190 cm below. The drops fall at regular (equal) intervals of time, the fi

rst drop striking the floor at the instant the fourth drop begins to fall. Find the locations (above the floor in cm) of the second and third drops when the first strikes the floor. Second drop? Thrid drop?

Answer:

Second drop: 1.04 m

First drop: 1.66 m

Explanation:

Assuming the droplets are not affected by aerodynamic drag.

They are in free fall, affected only by gravity.

I set a frame of reference with the origin at the nozzle and the positive X axis pointing down.

We can use the equation for position under constant acceleration.

X(t) = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2

x0 = 0

a = 9.81 m/s^2

v0 = 0

Then:

X(t) = 4.9 * t^2

The drop will hit the floor when X(t) = 1.9

1.9 = 4.9 * t^2

t^2 = 1.9 / 4.9

t = \sqrt{0.388} = 0.62 s

That is the moment when the 4th drop begins falling.

Assuming they fall at constant interval,

Δt = 0.62 / 3 = 0.2 s (approximately)

The second drop will be at:

X2(0.62) = 4.9 * (0.62 - 1*0.2)^2 = 0.86 m

And the third at:

X3(0.62) = 4.9 * (0.62 - 2*0.2)^2 = 0.24 m

The positions are:

1.9 - 0.86 = 1.04 m

1.9 - 0.24 = 1.66 m

above the floor

A 2.0 x 10^3-kilogram car travels at a constant speed of 12 meters per second around a circular curve of radius 30. meters. What
Vikentia [17]

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car as it goes round the curve is 4.8 m/s²

<h3>Circular motion</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration.

Centripetal acceleration can be calculated by using the formula

a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r}

Where a_{c} is the centripetal acceleration

v is the velocity

and r is the radius

From the given information

v = 12 \ m/s

and r = 30 \ m

Therefore,

a_{c} =\frac{12^{2} }{30}

a_{c} =\frac{144 }{30}

a_{c} = 4.8\ m/s^{2}

Hence, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car as it goes round the curve is 4.8 m/s²
