Answer: The correct answer is "center-seeking".

Explanation:

Centripetal force is the force which is required to keep the body in the circular motion. The direction of the centripetal force is towards center of the circle.

The expression for the centripetal force is as follows;

$F= \frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

Here, r is the radius, v is the velocity and m is the mass of the object.

Without this force, the body cannot move in the circular motion. Then, it follows the straight line motion.

The direction of the centripetal force acting on a ball on a string being spun in a circle around a person is center-seeking.

Therefore, the correct option is (D).

You set your stationary bike on a high 80-N friction-like resistive force and cycle for 30 min at a speed of 8.0 m/s . Your body

stellarik [79]

A) The change in internal chemical energy is $1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

B) The time needed is 1 minute

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the power output of you and the bike, given by:

$P=Fv$

where

F = 80 N is the force that must be applied in order to overcome friction and travel at constant speed

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

$P=(80)(8.0)=640 W$

The energy output is related to the power by the equation

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where:

P = 640 W is the power output

E is the energy output

$t = 30 min \cdot 60 = 1800 s$ is the time elapsed

Solving for E,

$E=Pt=(640)(1800)=1.15\cdot 10^6 J$

Since the body is 10% efficient at converting chemical energy into mechanical work (which is the output energy), this means that the change in internal chemical energy is given by

$\Delta E = \frac{E}{0.10}=\frac{1.15\cdot 10^6}{0.10}=1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

From the previous part, we found that in a time of

t = 30 min

the amount of internal chemical energy converted is

$E=1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

Here we want to find the time t' needed to convert an amount of chemical energy of

$E'=3.8\cdot 10^5 J$

So we can setup the following proportion:

$\frac{t}{E}=\frac{t'}{E'}$

And solving for t',

$t'=\frac{E't}{E}=\frac{(3.8\cdot 10^5)(30)}{1.15\cdot 10^7}=1 min$

A cart starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s. It next maintains the velocity it has reached for 10 s.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

12m/s

Explanation:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Let's call the velocity that the car maintains for 10 seconds $v_f_1$ , and the final velocity $v_f_2$ .

$v_f_1=0+(4)(5)=20m/s \\\\v_f_2=20+(-2)(4)=12m/s$

Hope this helps!

An observer stands 24.7 m behind a marksman practicing at a rifle range. The marksman fires the rifle horizontally, the speed of

GaryK [48]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Velocity of bullet, $c_{p}$ = 814.8 m/s

Observer distance from marksman, d = 24.7 m

Let us assume that time necessary for report of rifle to reach the observer is t and will be calculated as follows.

t = $\frac{24.7}{343}$ (velocity in air = 343 m/s)

= 0.072 sec

Now, before the observer hears the report the distance traveled by the bullet is as follows.

$d_{b} = c_{b} \times t$

= $814.8 \times 0.072$

= 58.66

= 59 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that each bullet will travel a distance of 59 m.

If you were to move to the Canadian North Woods, what adaptations or behavioral changes would you make?

iragen [17]

Adaptation will mean taking action to minimize the negative effects of change. ... the use of new tools and techniques for decision-making, For example, projected increases in drought, fire, windstorms, and insect and disease outbreaks are expected to result in greater tree mortality. Fewer trees will reduce Canada’s timber supply, which in turn will affect the economic competitiveness of Canada’s forest industry. This would leave forestry-dependent communities vulnerable to job losses, closure of forestry processing facilities and an overall economic slump.
