Answer:

<em>the centripetal acceleration will now be four times its initial value</em>

Explanation:

v=velocity

a=centripetal acceleration

r=radius to the center

take note tat a centripetal force is the force tat is needed to keep a body moving along a circular path

centripetal force is given by f=mv^2/r

a=v^2/r

v=v $v_{0}$

wen v $v_{0}$ is doubled , we ave

2v $v_{0}$

substituting into the previous equation of centripetal force

a=( $(2v_{0})^{2}$ /r

a=4 $v_{0}$ ^{2}/(r)

from the equation, is can be discovered that the centripetal acceleration will now be four times its initial value

A white pool ball of mass 1.0 kg moving at 10 m/s collides with

solniwko [45]

The velocity of the red ball after the collision is 5.8 m/s

Explanation:

In absence of external forces on the system, we can apply the principle of conservation of momentum. The total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision, so we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

where:

$m_1 = 1.0 kg$ is the mass of the pool ball

$u_1 = 10 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the pool ball

$v_1 = 3.0 m/s$ is the final velocity of the pool ball

$m_2 = 1.2 kg$ is the mass of the red ball

$u_2 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the red ball

$v_2$ is the final velocity of the red ball

Solving the equation for v2, we find the final velocity of the red ball after the collision:

$v_2 = \frac{m_1 u_1-m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{(1.0)(10)-(1.0)(3.0)}{1.2}=5.8 m/s$

The Moon has too little iron, Mercury too much. How can both of these anomalies be the result of giant impacts? Explain how the

arsen [322]

Answer:

Explanation:

Giant impact has resulted into formation of celestial bodies such as moon.

Moon was formed years after the Earth was formed. When Earth collided with very big size bodies, there was vaporization of chunks of the planets in to the space. Gravity plays its role and bounded those particles together thus forming moon.

This formation explains Moon is made up of lighter elements and contains too little iron where as Mercury was formed with the rest of the planets and just like earth, its core is formed first which is of iron and then collected the lighter elements to form crust and mantle.

Though both Moon and Mercury were the result of giant impacts yet they have different elements because mercury was made earlier and its is closer to moon hence it collected heavy elements such as iron to for the formation where as moon is the result of collision of Earth and other Mars- sized body hence its constituent particles are different that of mercury.

a projectile leaves the ground with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle 32° what is the maximum height

Nina [5.8K]

To determine the maximum height for the projectile, we can use the timeless kinematics equation $V _{f} ^{2} -V_{i}^{2}=2a \Delta y$ and plug in what we know. For $V _{f} ^{2}$ , we know it is zero because at the highest location of flight, there is no vertical velocity. For $V _{i} ^{2}$ , we know it is $(35sin(32))^{2}$ since the vertical component is the sine of the velocity. We need to solve for $y$ , so it is left as-is. Since the only acceleration is $g$ , we can substitute -9.81 into it. Solving for the equation yields a solution of 17.55 m for $\Delta y$ .
