A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of

35 m. If he completes the 200 m dash in 30.0 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race, what is the magnitude of his centripetal acceleration (in m/s2) as he runs the curved portion of the track? m/s2

Answer

given,

distance = 200 m

radius of curvature = 35 m

time = 30 s

centripetal acceleration = ?

speed of the runner

$v = \dfrac{d}{t}$

$v = \dfrac{200}{35}$

v = 5.71 m/s

acceleration of the runner

$a_c = \dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c = \dfrac{5.71^2}{35}$

$a_c = 0.931 m/s^2$

A car drives to the east in a time of 4 hours. Then, immediately (not realistic, but just assume this is the case for this probl

diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed in east direction $speed=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{28}{4}=7km/hr$

Explanation:

We have given average speed of the entire trip = 5 km/hr

First the car 4 hours then travels 12 km in 4 hours

So total time of the trip = 4+4 = 8 hours

So total distance traveled in the trip $d=speed\times time = 5\times 8=40km$

As the car travel 12 km in 4 hours to the west

So distance traveled in 4 hour in east = 40 -12 = 28 km

Time in east direction = 4 hour

So average speed in east direction $speed=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{28}{4}=7km/hr$

Compute the dot product of the vectors u and v, and find the angle between the vectors. Bold v equals 7 Bold i minus Bold j and

OLga [1]

Answer:

$\theta = 106.3 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that

$\vec w = -\hat i + 7\hat j$

$\vec v = 7\hat i - \hat j$

also we know that

$\vec v. \vec w = -14$

it is given as

$\vec v. \vec w = (-\hat i + 7\hat j).(7\hat i - \hat j)$

$\vec v. \vec w = - 7 - 7 = -14$

also we can find the magnitude of two vectors as

$|v| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (7)^2}$

$|v| = \sqrt{50}$

similarly we have

$|w| = \sqrt{(7^2) + (-1)^2}$

$|w| = \sqrt{50}$

now we know the formula of dot product as

$\vec v. \vec w = |v||w| cos\theta$

$-14 = (\sqrt{50})^2cos\theta$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-14}{50})$

$\theta = 106.3 degree$

Food provide your body with

Levart [38]

The food you eat every day provides the nutrients you need to survive. These food components include the macronutrients – protein, carbohydrate and fat – that offer calories as well as play specific roles in maintaining your health. Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, don’t act as an energy source but do serve a variety of critical functions to ensure your body operates as optimally as possible.

A student pushes a 2.85 kg cart causing it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s squared .What amount of force must the student hav

uysha [10]

In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.
