Answer:

Centripetal force

Explanation:

Centripetal force acts on an object moving in a circle. It points towards the center of the circle and has a magnitude equal to m v² / r, where m is the object's mass, v is the object's velocity, and r is the radius of curvature.

3. A 40-gram ball of clay is dropped from a height, h, above a cup which is attached to a spring of spring force constant, k, of

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

the maximum speed of the ball is 12.65 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 40 g = 0.04 kg

spring constant, k = 25 N/m

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

The Elastic potential energy of the spring will be converted into Kinetic of the ball;

$\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\ kx^2 = mv^2\\\\v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{(25)(0.506)^2}{0.04}} \\\\v = \sqrt{160.0225} \\\\v = 12.65 \ m/s$

Therefore, the maximum speed of the ball is 12.65 m/s

A 7.0-kg rock is subject to a variable force given by the equation f(x)=6.0n−(2.0n/m)x+(6.0n/m2)x2 if the rock initially is at r

stealth61 [152]

For Newton's second law, the force is equal to the product between the mass and the acceleration of the rocket:
$F=ma$
From which we can rewrite the acceleration as
$a(x)= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{1}{m} (6-2x+6x^2)$
where m=7.0 kg.

The velocity of the rocket is the derivative of the acceleration:
$v(x) = \frac{1}{m} (-2+12 x)$
and if we substitute x=9.0 m, we find the rocket velocity after 9.0 m:
$v(9)= \frac{1}{7}(-2+12\cdot 9)=15.1 m/s$

leva [86]

The energy changes involved when a positive charge moves because of a nearby, negatively charged object because that is actually similar to when an object falls in a gravitational field, the potential energy of the object will turn in to a kinetic energy. thank you for this question.

Suppose we have a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it trie

sammy [17]

Answer:

2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it tries to get lunch. An unsuspecting 100 kilogram blue fin tuna is minding its own business swimming to the left at a speed of 0.5 meters traveled each second. GULP! After the great "yellow" shark "collides" with the blue fin tuna

Momentum = MV

Momentum of the yellow shark before collision = 600 × 3 = 1800 kgm/s

Momentum of the tun final before collision = 100 × 0.5 = 50 kgm/s

Total momentum before collision = 1800 + 50 = 1850 kgm/s

Let's assume that they move together after collision. Then,

1850 = ( 600 + 100 ) V

1850 = 700V

V = 1850 / 700

V = 2.64285 m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the shark after collision is 2.64 m/ s approximately

Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the ot

Paladinen [302]

D = distance between th two trains at the start of the motion = 100 miles

V = speed of the faster train towards slower train = 60 mph

v = speed of the slower train towards faster train = 40 mph

t = time taken by the two trains to collide = ?

time taken by the two trains to collide is given as

t = D/(V + v)

t = 100/(60 + 40) = 1 h

v' = speed of the bird = 90 mph

d = distance traveled by the bird

distance traveled by the bird is given as

d = v' t

d = 90 x 1

d = 90 miles
