Answer:

66.26 m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity, Vx = 55.3 m/s

Vertical velocity, Vy = 36.5 m/s

The value of the resultant velocity is given by the vector sum of the two velocities which are acting at 90°.

V=\sqrt{V_{x}^{2}+V_{y^{2}}}

V=\sqrt{55.3^{2}+36.5^{2}}}

V = 66.26 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the vehicle is 66.26 m/s along its descent path.

Answer:

6010.457N

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = a= V²/R

At a radius of 3.6m and velocity of 16.12m/s,

Acceleration is

a = 16.12²/ 3.6 = 72.182 m/s²

Force = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)

36 = m * 72.182

m = 36/72.182

At breaking point

Radius = 0.468 m and Velocity = 75.1 m/s

a = V²/R = 75.1²/0.468

a = 12051.3 m/s

F = Mass(m) * Acceleration (a)

F = m * 12051.3

m = F/ 12051.3

Settings the ratio of mass equal

m = m

=> 36/72.182 = F/12051.3

F = 12051.3 * 36/72.182

F = 6010.457N

A discus thrower turns with angular acceleration of 50 rad/s2, moving the discus in a circle of radius 0.80m. Find the radial an
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The value of tangential acceleration \alpha_{t} =  40 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

The value of radial acceleration \alpha_{r} = 80 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

Angular acceleration = 50 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

Radius of the disk = 0.8 m

Angular velocity = 10 \frac{rad}{s}

We know that tangential acceleration is given by the formula \alpha_{t} = r \alpha

Where r =  radius of the disk

\alpha = angular acceleration

⇒ \alpha_{t} = 0.8 × 50

⇒ \alpha_{t} = 40 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

This is the value of tangential acceleration.

Radial acceleration is given by

\alpha_{r} = \frac{V^{2} }{r}

Where V = velocity of the disk = r \omega

⇒ V = 0.8 × 10

⇒ V = 8 \frac{m}{s}

Radial acceleration

\alpha_{r} = \frac{8^{2} }{0.8}

\alpha_{r} = 80 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

This is the value of radial acceleration.

Question 1 of 10
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

C. 5.6 × 10^11 N/C

Explanation:

The electric field E at a distance R from a charge Q is given by

E = k\dfrac{Q}{R^2}

where k = 9*10^9Nm/C is the coulomb's constant.

Now, in our case

R = 0.0075m

Q = 0.0035C;

therefore,

E = (9*10^9)\dfrac{0.0035C}{(0.0075m)^2}

\boxed{E = 5.6*10^{11}N/C.}

which is choice C from the options given<em> (at least it resembles it).</em>
