$U= mgh$
$U=((29.34/1000)kg)(9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )(14.7m)=4.321J$

do not forget to change grams to kilograms and if it were in centimeters convert them to meters.

To analyze the motion of a body that is traveling along a curved path, to determine the body's acceleration, velocity, and posit

DiKsa [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the kinematic equations of linear motion and centripetal motion. For this purpose we will be guided by the definitions of centripetal acceleration to relate it to the tangential velocity. With these equations we will also relate the linear velocity for which we will find the points determined by the statement. Our values are given as

$R = 350ft$

$a_t = 1.1ft/s^2$

PART A )

$a_c = \frac{V^2}{R}$

$a_c = \frac{V^2}{350}$

Calculate the velocity of the motorcycle when the net acceleration of the motorcycle is $5.25ft/s^2$

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$5.25 = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(\frac{v^2}{350})^2}$

$27.5625 = 1.21 + \frac{v^4}{122500}$

$v=42.3877ft/s$

Now calculate the angular velocity of the motorcycle

$v = r\omega$

$42.3877 = 350\omega$

$\omega = 0.1211rad/s$

Calculate the angular acceleration of the motorcycle

$a_t = r\alpha$

$1.1 = 350\alpha$

$\alpha = 3.1428*10^{-3}rad/s^2$

Calculate the time needed by the motorcycle to reach an acceleration of

$5.25ft/s^2$

$\omega = \alpha t$

$0.1211 = 3.1428*10^{-3}t$

$t = 38.53s$

PART B) Calculate the velocity of the motorcycle when the net acceleration of the motorcycle is $6.75ft/s^2$

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$6.75 = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(\frac{v^2}{350})^2}$

$45.5625 = 1.21 + \frac{v^4}{122500}$

$v=48.2796ft/s$

PART C)

Calculate the radial acceleration of the motorcycle when the velocity of the motorcycle is $21.5ft/s$

$a_r = \frac{v^2}{R}$

$a_r = \frac{21.5^2}{350}$

$a_r =1.3207ft/s^2$

Calculate the net acceleration of the motorcycle when the velocity of the motorcycle is $21.5ft/s$

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$a = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(1.3207)^2}$

$a = 1.7187ft/s^2$

PART D) Calculate the maximum constant speed of the motorcycle when the maximum acceleration of the motorcycle is $6.75ft/s^2$

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$6.75 = \sqrt{(1.1)^2+(\frac{v^2}{350})^2}$

$45.5625 = 1.21 + \frac{v^4}{122500}$

$v=48.2796ft/s$

a person runs 27.0km west then turns around and runs 13.0km east what's the distance and displacement ?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Distance = 27 + 13 = 40 km

Displacement = 27 - 13 = 14 km

100 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST! What were the Magdeburg Hemispheres?

pogonyaev

Answer:

Magdeburg hemispheres are two half-spheres of equal size. Placing them together traps air between them. This air is merely trapped, and not compressed, so the pressure inside is the same as the pressure of the atmosphere outside the spheres. The spheres thus pull apart with nearly no resistance.

How far would a spacecraft moving in a circular orbit 500 km above Pluto's surface travel during that time?

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The speed of the spacecraft should be 719.35m/s

Explanation:

if the spacecraft is orbiting the planet with a circular orbit, the gravitational force must act as a centripetal force. This means:

$F_G=F_c\\\frac{GmM}{d^2}=m\frac{v^2}{d}$

In this case, the pluto's mass M is 1.3099·10^22 kg. The radius of the planet R is 1188.3Km and G is the gravitational constant. Therefore:

$\displaystyle\frac{G M}{d^2}=\frac{v^2}{d}\\v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{d} } =\sqrt{\frac{GM}{(R + 500km)} } =719.35m/s$
