The centripetal acceleration is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.

For the car in this problem, a_c = 15.625 m/s^2 and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
v= \sqrt{a_c r}= \sqrt{(15.625 m/s^2)(40 m)}=25 m/s

A force of 8.0 N is along x direction, another force of 6.0 N is along +y direction. If both forces are acting on a point object
Darya [45]

Answer:

Resultant force, R = 10 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting along +x direction, F_x=8\ N

Force acting along +y direction, F_y=6\ N

Both the forces are acting on a point object located at the origin. Let the resultant force of the object is given by R. So,

R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2+F_xF_y\ cos\theta}

Here \theta=90^{\circ}

R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

R=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}

R = 10 N

So, the resultant force on the object is 10 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose a 2.0kg bird is flying at a speed of of 1m/s. It’s kinetic energy would be what?
Ganezh [65]

As we know that the formula of kinetic energy will be

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

now here we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 1 m/s

so from the above equation we have

KE = \frac{1}{2}(2)(1^2)

KE = 1 J

Which occurs when a wave is reflected?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The wave can flip upside down.

Reflection is the bending of a wave when it cannot pass through. For example, plain mirrors which are flat, a ray of light hits the mirror and is reflected from the mirror since it cannot pass through  

When reflection occurs the speed and frequency of the wave does not change but the wave is flipped upside down.

The speed does not change because speed is affected by the change in medium the frequency also remains the same since the energy of the wave does not change.

Fiora starts riding her bike at 20 mi/h. After a while, she slows down to 14 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the
goblinko [34]

Answer:

3.5 hours

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Let the distance that Fiora biked at 20 mi/h through be x miles and the time it took her to bike through that distance be t hours at 20 mi/h

Then, the rest of the distance that she biked at 14 mi/h is (112 - x) miles

And the time she spent biking at 14 mi/h the rest of the distance = (6.5 - t) hours

Her first biking speed = 20 mph = 20 miles/hour

Speed = distance/time

20 = x/t

x = 20 t (eqn 1)

Her second biking speed = 14 mph = 14 miles/hour

14 = (112 - x)/(6.5 - t)

112 - x = 14 (6.5 - t)

112 - x = 91 - 14t (eqn 2)

Substitute for x in (eqn 2)

112 - 20t = 91 - 14t

20t - 14t = 112 - 91

6t = 21

t = 3.5 hours

x = 20t = 20 × 3.5 = 70 miles.

(112 - x) = 112 - 70 = 42 miles

(6.5 - t) = 6.5 - 3.5 = 3 hours

Meaning that she travelled at 20 mi/h for 3.5 hours.
