A penny is placed on a rotating turntable. where on the turntable does the penny require the largest centripetal force to remain

in place?
Physics

m = mass of the penny

r = distance of the penny from the center of the turntable or axis of rotation

w = angular speed of rotation of turntable

F = centripetal force experienced by the penny

centripetal force "F" experienced by the penny of "m" at distance "r" from axis of rotation is given as

F = m r w²

in the above equation , mass of penny "m"  and angular speed "w" of the turntable is same at all places. hence the centripetal force directly depends on the radius .

hence greater the distance from center , greater will be the centripetal force to remain in place.  

So at the edge of the turntable , the penny experiences largest centripetal force to remain in place.

Which equations represent the relationship between wavelength and frequency for a sound wave?
exis [7]

Explanation:

The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength.

A 79 kg person sits on a 3.7 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.3 cm in diameter
vampirchik [111]
I'll assume that the chair has four legs.

Since the chair weights 3.7 kg by itself, it will weigh (79+3.7)=82.7 kg with the person sitting on it. And each of the chair's legs will take about (82.7/4)=20.675 kg.

Each leg touches the floor in a circle with 1.3cm diameter. The area of that circle is about (3.14*(1.3/2)^2)=1.327 cm^2.

Pressure is measured by force per area. So, the pressure from each leg is about 20.675kg / 1.327cm^2. That simplifies to 15.58 kg/cm^2.

John ( body mass= 65 kg) is taking off for a long jump . Horizontal accerleration ax is 5m/s^2 and vertical acceleration ay is 0
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(a) The horizontal ground reaction force  F_{g,x}=325\, N

(b)  The vertical ground reaction force F_{g,y}=696\, N

(c)   The resultant ground reaction force F_g=768\, N

Explanation:  

Given

John mass , m = 65 kg

Horizontal acceleration , a_x= 5.0 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

Vertical acceleration , a_y=0.9 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

(a) Using Newton's 2nd law in horizontal direction

F_{g,x}=ma_x

=>F_{g,x}=65\times 5\, N=325\, N

Thus the horizontal ground reaction force  F_{g,x}=325\, N

(b) Using Newton's 2nd law in vertical direction

F_{g,y}-mg=ma_y

=>F_{g,y}=mg+ma_y

=>F_{g,y}=65\times (9.81+0.9)\, N=696\, N

Thus the vertical ground reaction force F_{g,y}=696\, N

(c)  Resultant ground reaction force is

F_g=(F_{g,x}^{2}+F_{g,y}^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}

=>F_g=(325^{2}+696^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}\, N=768\, N

=>F_g=768\, N

Thus  the resultant ground reaction force F_g=768\, N
