An athlete prepares to throw a 2.0-kilogram discus. His arm is 0.75 meters long. He spins around several times with the discus a

t the end of his out-stretched arm so that the discus reaches a velocity of 5.0 m/s. What is the centripetal force acting on the discus?

The centripetal force acting on ball will be = mass x radial acceleration
radial acceleration = v²/radius of the discuss performing circular motion
                              =  5²/0.75 = 33.33 m/s²

Therefore, centripetal force = mass x radial acceleration = 2 x 33.33
                                                                                          = 66.66 N.

What type of heat do we get from sun
seraphim [82]
The type of heat that the Sun emits is called UV (Ultra Violet) rays. This is a natural type of heat, but it can also be dangerous if you expose yourself to too much UV heat, causing "sunburns", or even skin cancer.

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass_{Hank × Acceleration_{Hank = Mass_{Henry × Acceleration_{Henry

so

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = Acceleration_{Henry / Acceleration_{Hank

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 1 / 1.26

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

What would be the answer for this and how?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k =  250\ N/m\\

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>B. 6 cm</u>

Which best describes a major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes? they are centered at the poles?
Arturiano [62]
<span>A major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes is that they are located in the same geographic area. Most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma.</span>

Electric fields are vector quantities whose magnitudes are measured in units of volts/meter (V/m). Find the resultant electric f
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Er = 231.76 V/m, 27.23° to the left of E1

Explanation:

To find the resultant electric field, you can use the component method. Where you add the respective x-component and y-component of each vector:

E1:

E_1_x = 0V/m\\E_1_y=100V/m

E2:

Keep in mind that the x component of electric field E2 is directed to the left.

E_2_x= 150V/m*-sin(45) = 106.07 V/m\\E_2_y=150V/m*cos(45) = 106.07V/m

∑x: E_1_x+E_2_x = 0V/m - 106.07V/m = -106.07V/m

∑y: E_1_y + E_2_y = 100V/m + 106.07V/m = 206.07V/m

The magnitud of the resulting electric field can be found using pythagorean theorem. For the direction, we will use trigonometry.

||E_r||= \sqrt{(-106.07V/m)^2+(206.07V/m)^2} = 231.76 V/m\\\\\alpha = arctan(\frac{206.7 V/m}{-106.07 V/m}) = 117.24degrees

or 27.23° to the left of E1.
