Answer: The correct answer is option B, C and E.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is defined as the acceleration win which an object moves in a curved path. Formula for this acceleration is given by the equation:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where,

$a_c$ = centripetal acceleration

v = linear speed of the object

r = radius of the curved path

From the given options,

Option A: As, the golf ball is not moving in a curved path. Hence, it is not an example of centripetal acceleration.

Option B: As, a car is moving in a curved path. Hence, it is an example of centripetal acceleration.

Option C: As, a person is moving in a curved path. Hence, it is an example of centripetal acceleration.

Option D: As, a car is not moving in a curved path and is moving in a straight road. Hence, it is not an example of centripetal acceleration. The car is moving with zero acceleration because the direction of the car is not changing.

Option E: As, a bicyclist is moving in a curved path which is around the lake. Hence, it is an example of centripetal acceleration.

A key falls from a bridge that is 45 m above the water. the key falls straight down and lands in a model boat traveling at a con

erastova [34]

Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion

$h = ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2.$ .

Take initial velocity, u=0, so

$h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ .

$h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\\ t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$

As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula

$d= v \times t$

From above substituting t,

$d = v \times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$ .

Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get

$d = 3.5 \ m/s \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 45 m}{9.8 m/s^2} } = 10.60 m$ .

Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.

a 5.0 kg ball is dropped from a 2.5 m high window. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Approximately $7.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant $g = 9.81 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ near the surface of the earth.

For an object that is accelerating constantly,

$v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a \, x$ ,

where

$u$ is the initial velocity of the object,
$v$ is the final velocity of the object.
$a$ is its acceleration, and
$x$ is its displacement.

In this case, $x$ is the same as the change in the ball's height: $x = 2.5\; \rm m$ . By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result, $u = 0$ . Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity, $a = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

$v^2 - u^2 = 2\, g \cdot h$ .

In this case, $v$ would be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground. Solve for

$v^2 = 2\, a\, x + u^2$ .

$\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{2\, a\, x + u^2} \\ &= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \times 2.5 + 0} \\ &\approx 7.0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

An object is dropped from a height of 75.0 m above ground level. (a) Determine the distance traveled during the first second. (b

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a)Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c)Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion

S = ut + 0.5at²

Here u = 0, and a = g

S = 0.5gt²

Distance traveled during the first second ( t =1 )

S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 1² = 4.905 m

Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b) We have equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

Here u = 0, s= 75 m and a = g

v² = 0² + 2 x g x 75 = 150 x 9.81

v = 38.36 m/s

Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c) We have S = 0.5gt²

75 = 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

t = 3.91 s

We need to find distance traveled last second

That is

S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.91² - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.91² = 33.45 m

Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

The first law of motion applies to what?

lana66690 [7]

First law of motion- sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
