Answer:

It is directed inward, toward the center of a circle.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration resulting from a movement along a circular path.

This acceleration is always directed towards the center of the circle and is defined as follows:

a_{c}=\frac{v^2}{r}

where v is the tangential velocity of the object in the circular path, and r is the radius of the circle.

So the answer is:<u> It is directed inward, toward the center of a circle.</u>

The builders of the pyramids used a long ramp to lift 20000-kg (20.0-ton) blocks. If a block rose 0.840 m in height while travel
olga_2 [115]

Given Information:  

Mass = m =  20000 kg

Height of ramp = h = 0.840 m

Length of ramp = L = 20 m

Required Information:  

Uphill Force = F = ?

Answer:

F = 8232 N

Explanation:

The force can be found using the equation

F = mgsinθ

Where m is the mass of block, g is the acceleration due to gravity

Since the ramp can be modeled as an inclined plane so it can formed into a triangle, recall that in right angle triangle sinθ is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. The opposite is the height and hypotenuse is the ramp surface.

sinθ = h/L = 0.840/20 = 0.042

F = 20000*9.8*0.042

F = 8232 N

Therefore, an uphill force of 8232 N would be needed.

Two blocks on a frictionless horizontal surface are on a collision course. one block with mass 0.6 kg moves at 0.8 m/s to the ri
Elanso [62]

First we can say that since there is no external force on this system so momentum is always conserved.

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

0.6*0.8 + 1.2*0 = 0.6*v_{1f} + 1.2*v_{2f}

0.48= 0.6*v_{1f} + 1.2*v_{2f}

0.8  = v_{1f} + 2v_{2f}

now by the condition of elastic collision

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = 0.8 - 0[\tex]now add two equations[tex]3*v_{2f} = 1.6

v_{2f} = 0.533 m/s

also from above equation we have

v_{1f} = -0.267 m/s

So ball of mass 0.6 kg will rebound back with speed 0.267 m/s and ball of mass 1.2 kg will go forwards with speed 0.533 m/s.
