Answer:

9.12267515924 m/s²

Explanation:

Here the moment created by the wheels and the moment created by the center of gravity will balance each other.

h = Height of the center of mass = 78.5 cm

d =  Distance from back wheel to the center of mass = \dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}\ m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Horizontal acceleration

The equation is of the form

mgd=Fh\\\Rightarrow mgd=mah\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{gd}{h}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{9.81\times \dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}}{78.5\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow a=9.12267515924\ m/s^2

The horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle that will make the front wheel rise off the ground is 9.12267515924 m/s²

A bicyclist of mass 112 kg rides in a circle at a speed of 8.9 m/s. If the radius of the circle is 15.5 m, what is the centripet
kogti [31]
The centripetal force, Fc, is calculated through the equation, 
                                    Fc = mv²/r
where m is the mass,v is the velocity, and r is the radius. 
Substituting the known values,
                                     Fc = (112 kg)(8.9 m/s)² / (15.5 m)
                                         = 572.36 N
Therefore, the centripetal force of the bicyclist is approximately 572.36 N.

Is it possible to have negative velocity but positive acceleration? If so, what would this mean?
dusya [7]

Observe that the object below moves in the negative direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a positive acceleration). The dot diagram shows that each consecutive dot is not the same distance apart (i.e., a changing velocity). The position-time graph shows that the slope is changing (meaning a changing velocity) and negative (meaning a negative velocity). The velocity-time graph shows a line with a positive (upward) slope (meaning that there is a positive acceleration); the line is located in the negative region of the graph (corresponding to a negative velocity). The acceleration-time graph shows a horizontal line in the positive region of the graph (meaning a positive acceleration).

A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?
marta [7]
A classic puzzle...

She either kicked it at a wall <em>exactly</em><em /> 10 foot in front of her, where the ball rebounded off the wall.

Or, she kicked the ball straight up, vertically, at a <em>90 degree angle,</em> where due to the law of gravity, which states that anything that goes up must come down, when the soccer ball reaches exactly 10 feet, it falls back down.
(Note: This is nearly impossible to achieve -- exactly 10 feet.)
