Can a particle moving with instantaneous speed 3.00 m/s on a path with radius of curvature 2.00 m have an acceleration of magnit

ude 6.00 m/s2? (b) can it have an acceleration of magnitude 4.00 m/s2? in each case, if the answer is yes, explain how it can happen; if the answer is no, explain why not.

Circular acceleration has 2 components, the centripetal and tangential acceleration.

The formula for calculating the centripetal acceleration of a particle is:

a_{c} = v^2/r

Where v is the velocity or instantaneous speed and r is the radius.

a_{c}  = (3^2)/6 = 1.5 m/s^2

Assuming that the particle stays on the same circular path, another thing it can have is the tangential acceleration. While the centripetal acceleration is constant, tangential acceleration depends on the location of the particle in the circular path. So to answer A and B, yes we can have an acceleration of 6 and 4 respectively.

A rock is thrown downward from an unknown height above the ground with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s. It strikes the ground 1.7 s
insens350 [35]

Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

Why is velocity and not just speed important to these pilots
Alborosie
Velocity is a vector. Therefore, it depends on the direction. Pilots need to know the direction of wind, not just the speed. If the pilot is going South, and there's 5 mph wind going South, they'll be happy, but if the wind is going 5 mph North, they'll be going against the wind.
