Answer:

<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>

<em>Correct choice: B.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

v_t=w\ r

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{r}

If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{(2v_t)^2}{r}

\displaystyle a_c=4\frac{v_t^2}{r}

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.

Suppose a 20-foot ladder is leaning against a building, reaching to the bottom of a second-floor window 15 feet above the ground
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The answer is β=0,85 rads

Explanation:

As the ladder is leaning against the building, we can imagine there´s a triangle where 20ft is the hypotenuse and 15ft is the maximum vertical distance between the ladder and the ground, it means, the leg opposite to β which is the angle we need

Let β(betha) be the angle between the ladder and the ground

We also know that sin(betha)=(leg opposite)/(hypotenuse)

In this case we will need to find β, this way:

betha=sin^-1((15ft/20ft))

Then β=48,6°  

We also have that 2πrads is equal to 360°, in this way we find how much β is in radians:

betha=(48,6°)*(2pirads/360°)

then we find β=0,85rads

A kangaroo can jump over an object 2.46 m high. (a) Calculate its vertical speed (in m/s) when it leaves the ground.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

a) 6.95 m/s

b) 1.42 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -9.81\times 2.46-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.46}\\\Rightarrow u=6.95\ m/s

a) The vertical speed when it leaves the ground. is 6.95 m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-6.95}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s

Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.71 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.46=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.46\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s

Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.71 seconds

b) Time it stayed in the air is 0.71+0.71 = 1.42 seconds

A man of mass 85 kg runs up a flight of stairs of height 4.6 m in a time period
seraphim [82]

Explanation:

a) Power = work / time = force × distance / time

P = Fd/t

P = (85 kg × 9.8 m/s²) (4.6 m) / (12 s)

P ≈ 319 W

b) P = Fd/t

0.70 (319 W) = (m × 9.8 m/s²) (4.6 m) / (9.6 s)

m = 47.6 kg

Which statement best describes air pressure at high altitudes? (Points : 3)
WARRIOR [948]
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. this is because air pressure is caused by the gravity of earth, the gravity pulls on the air, compacting it and making a pressure.
But as we go higher, gravity decreases, causing less pull on the air resulting in less air pressure.<span />
