Answer:
The aeroplane flew 4200 miles for 7 hours.
600 times 7 is 4200.
Answer: a) the greater speed for the ball is getting with the large radius of the circle. b) 1.68* 10 ^3 m/s^2 c) 1.25*10^3 m/s^2
Explanation: In order to solve this problem firstly we have to consider that speed in a of the circular movement is directly the angular rotation multiply the radius of the circle so by this we found that the second radius get large speed.
Secondly to calculate the centripetal acceleration for the ball we have to considerer the relationship given by:
acceleration in a circular movement= ω^2*r
so
a1= (8.44 *2*π)^2*r1=1.68 *10^3 m/s^2
a2= (5.95*2*π)^2*r2=1.25*10^3 m/s^2
I'm not really sure what specific answer they're looking for, but if it's an open-ended question, then let's think about it this way...
A light year, is the distance it takes for light to travel in a year. If an object is 50,000 light years away, then by the time the light travels to us, 50,000 years has passed. We are looking at a 50,000 year old image of that object. (ignoring gravity and spatial expansion fun stuffs)
If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.
You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.
Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.
