To solve this problem we will apply the kinematic equations of linear motion and centripetal motion. For this purpose we will be guided by the definitions of centripetal acceleration to relate it to the tangential velocity. With these equations we will also relate the linear velocity for which we will find the points determined by the statement. Our values are given as

R = 350ft

a_t = 1.1ft/s^2

PART A )

a_c = \frac{V^2}{R}

a_c = \frac{V^2}{350}

Calculate the velocity of the motorcycle when the net acceleration of the motorcycle is 5.25ft/s^2

a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}

5.25 = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(\frac{v^2}{350})^2}

27.5625 = 1.21 + \frac{v^4}{122500}

v=42.3877ft/s

Now calculate the angular velocity of the motorcycle

v = r\omega

42.3877 = 350\omega

\omega = 0.1211rad/s

Calculate the angular acceleration of the motorcycle

a_t = r\alpha

1.1 = 350\alpha

\alpha = 3.1428*10^{-3}rad/s^2

Calculate the time needed by the motorcycle to reach an acceleration of

5.25ft/s^2

\omega = \alpha t

0.1211 = 3.1428*10^{-3}t

t = 38.53s

PART B) Calculate the velocity of the motorcycle when the net acceleration of the motorcycle is 6.75ft/s^2

a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}

6.75 = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(\frac{v^2}{350})^2}

45.5625 = 1.21 + \frac{v^4}{122500}

v=48.2796ft/s

PART C)

Calculate the radial acceleration of the motorcycle when the velocity of the motorcycle is 21.5ft/s

a_r = \frac{v^2}{R}

a_r = \frac{21.5^2}{350}

a_r =1.3207ft/s^2

Calculate the net acceleration of the motorcycle when the velocity of the motorcycle is 21.5ft/s

a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}

a = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(1.3207)^2}

a = 1.7187ft/s^2

PART D) Calculate the maximum constant speed of the motorcycle when the maximum acceleration of the motorcycle is 6.75ft/s^2

a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}

6.75 = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(\frac{v^2}{350})^2}

45.5625 = 1.21 + \frac{v^4}{122500}

v=48.2796ft/s

irinina [24]

Answer:

v_a=0.8176 m/s

\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

Being m_a and m_b the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

M_1=m_av_a+m_bv_b

Since b is initially at rest

M_1=m_av_a

After the collision and being v'_a and v'_b the respective velocities, the total momentum is

M_2=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b

Both momentums are equal, thus

m_av_a=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b

Solving for v_a

v_a=\frac{m_av'_a+m_bv'_b}{m_a}

v_a=\frac{0.254Kg\times (-0.123 m/s)+0.367Kg (0.651m/s)}{0.254Kg}

v_a=0.8176 m/s

The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)

K_1=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2

K_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.254Kg) (0.8176m/s)^2=0.0849 J

The final kinetic energy is

K_2=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a'^2+\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b'^2

K_2=\frac{1}{2}0.254Kg (-0.123m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}0.367Kg (0.651m/s)^2=0.07969 J

The change of kinetic energy is

\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:3.4 seconds

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u)=0

acceleration=34.5m/s^2

Height(h)=200m

Time =t

h=u x t - (gxt^2)/2

200=0xt+(34.5xt^2)/2

200=34.5t^2/2

Cross multiply

200x2=34.5t^2

400=34.5t^2

Divide both sides by 34.5

400/34.5=34.5t^2/34.5

11.59=t^2

t^2=11.59

Take them square root of both sides

t=√(11.59)

t=3.4 seconds
