1 = (1.70)i hat + (4.00 m/s)j, measured on a horizontal xy coordinate system. At time t2 = 4.00 s, a half-revolution later, its velocity is v with arrow2 = (-1.70 m/s)i hat + (-4.00 m/s)j. (a) What is the magnitude of the cat's centripetal acceleration?

Answer:

(a)

a_c=3.41\frac{m}{s^2}

(b)

a_a_v_g=0\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Let's calculate the magnitude of cat's velocity at time t1 and time t2:

At\hspace{3}t_1

|v_1|=\sqrt{(v_x)^{2}+(v_y)^{2}  } =\sqrt{(1.70)^{2}+(4)^{2}  } =4.346262762m/s

At\hspace{3}t_2

|v_2|=\sqrt{(v_x)^{2}+(v_y)^{2}  } =\sqrt{(-1.70)^{2}+(-4)^{2}  } =4.346262762m/s

For now:

|v_1|=|v_2|

So, we can assume that cat's tangential velocity is constant. Now, considering that the time T required for one complete revolution is called the period. For  constant speed is given by:

T=\frac{2*\pi *r}{v}  (1)

Where:

r=radius\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}curvatrue

v=tangential\hspace{3}velocity

The problem tell us that at time t2=4 the cat has completed a half-revolution, so we can conclude that the cat complete a revolution in 8s, T=8s. Replacing the data in (1) and isolating r:

r=\frac{T*v}{2*\pi} =\frac{8*4.346262762}{2*\pi}=5.533833621m

Now the centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^{2} }{r} =\frac{(4.346262762)^{2} }{5.53383621} =3.413546791m/s^2

Finally, The average acceleration is the final velocity minus the initial velocity per time taken.

a_a_v_g=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} =\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1} =\frac{4.346262762-4.346262762}{4-2}=\frac{0}{2} =0

How to measure the volume of a baseball bat ( need answers ASAP )
vaieri [72.5K]

<em>Measure the amount of water it displaces.</em>

This won't be easy, because the bat floats in water.  But I think you can get around that little problem like this:

-- Get some kind of a tank or tub that's big enough to hold the whole bat under water.

-- Get a heavy weight, like a big wrench or a small rock.  

-- Fill the tub almost to the tippy top with water.

-- Slip the heavy weight into the tub, slowly.  Some water will run over the top and out of the tub.  That's OK ... it's exactly what you want.  If NO water runs over the top, pour some more in, until it runs out and then stops.  You want the tub full to the brimmy rim with the rock at the bottom of it.

-- Take the heavy weight out of the tub.

-- Now set the tub into a bigger tub or a deep pan.  The next time it overflows and some water runs out of it, you'll need to catch that water and measure it.

-- Get a short piece of heavy string.  Tie the heavy weight to somewhere near the middle of the bat.

-- Slowly slide the bat into the water, with the rock tied to it.  The bat needs to go complete underwater.

-- Some more water will run over the top and out of the tub, and INTO the lower tub.  Wait until the overflow stops and everything settles down again.

-- Take the bat (tied to the weight) out of the tub.  Slowly and carefully, so that your hand or your arm doesn't make any MORE water run over and out.

-- Lift the upper tub out of the lower tub.

-- Take the lower tub, with the overflow water in it.  Using a kitchen measuring cup, or a saucepan or a bottle, or anything else with liquid amounts marked on it, measure how much water overflowed into the lower tub.

THAT amount is the volume of the bat.

You may have to do some units conversions.  Like if you need the volume of the bat in cm³ and you used measuring vessels marked in fluid ounces.  But you can find all those conversion factors with a search on Floogle.

Nata [24]

Answer:

a) 69.3 m/s

b) 18.84 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity = u

The vertical and horizontal components of the velocity is given by uᵧ and uₓ respectively

uᵧ = u sin 40° = 0.6428 u

uₓ = u cos 40° = 0.766 u

We're given that the horizontal distance travelled by the projectile rock (Range) = 1 km = 1000 m

The range of a projectile motion is given as

R = uₓt

where t = total time of flight

1000 = 0.766 ut

ut = 1305.5

The vertical distance travelled by the projectile rocks,

y = uᵧ t - (1/2)gt²

y = - 900 m (900 m below the crater's level)

-900 = 0.6428 ut - 4.9t²

Recall, ut = 1305.5

-900 = 0.6428(1305.5) - 4.9 t²

4.9t² = 839.1754 + 900

4.9t² = 1739.1754

t = 18.84 s

Recall again, ut = 1305.5

u = 1305.5/18.84 = 69.3 m/s

Answer:

Width of sound beam is 7.557 m

Explanation:

First we will calculate the wave length from given data:

λ=v/f

Were:

v is the speed

f is the frequency

\lambda=\frac{340}{30*10^3}\\ \lambda=0.01133 m

We considered the opening long and narrow, Using single slit diffraction formula:

mλ=dsinΘ

where:

d is the crack width

m is the order

Θ is angle

Considering m=1, The angle between first minimum from center of beam is:

\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})\\\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{1*0.01133}{30*10^{-2}})\\ \theta=2.164^o

The width of beam is:

tanΘ=y/L

tan\theta=\frac{w/2}{L}\\ w=2L\ tan\theta\\w=2*100*tan 2.164\\w=7.557 m

Width=7.557 m

What are the missing coefficients needed to make this equation balanced from left to right?
12345 [234]

Explanation:

Since the equation is not given in this case, you can follow this explanation to balance it up.

A balanced chemical equation is one in which the law of conservation of matter is strictly obeyed.

According to the laws, we know that the total mass of the reacting substances must be equal to that of the product.

To do this, coefficients are usually assigned to chemical species.

In order to know the right coefficient one can use;

  • A trial by error method of inspecting and putting the appropriate coefficients in front of the formula of reactants or products.
  • A mathematical method in which simple equations are derived can be used.
