Assume that the car at point A and the one at point E are traveling along circular paths that have the same radius. If the car a

t point A now moves twice as fast as the car at point E, how is the magnitude of its acceleration related to that of car E.

Answer:

The magnitude of car A acceleration is 4 times that of car E

Explanation:

Assuming they are traveling at a constant speed. Their (centripetal) acceleration is as the following

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

where v is the (linear) velocity and r is the radius. We can use this to calculate their ratio

a_A / a_E = \frac{v_A^2/r_A}{v_E^2/r_E} = \left(\frac{v_A}{v_E}\right)^2\frac{r_E}{e_A}

Since v_A = 2V_E \rightarrow \frac{v_A}{v_E} = 2 and r_A = r_E

a_A / a_E = 2^2 = 4

So the magnitude of car A acceleration is 4 times that of car E

A 2.9 gram bullet is shot into a tree stump. It enters at a velocity of 304 m/sec and comes to rest after having penetrated the
Helga [31]
First convert grams to kilograms (so that the answer will be N) 1000g=1kg so 2.9g=.0029kg.

To solve for force we use the equation F=ma, so we need to find acceleration (a) .Next use the equation a=Δv/Δt. Δt is given as being .00043 seconds. Δv is the difference in velocities - final minus initial (this is important to discern the direction of the force vector); 0-304=-304. Now plugin and solve for a. The result is -706976.7442 m/s², or -710000 m/s² if you are using significant figures. 

Now use the values for mass and acceleration to solve for force. F=ma=-2050.232558N or F=- 2100N (if you are using significant figures).

A particle is moving in a circular path of radius r . The displacement after half a circle would be
Art [367]

Answer:

2r

Explanation:

As we know that

The displacement is the total distance measured between the initial or start and final or destination point

If particle cover half path of the circle, the displacement can easily find out by considering the distance between the start and destination point

We attached the diagram for better understanding

As per the diagram.

The displacement after half-circle is

AB = OA + OB

= r + r

= 2r

Dr. John Paul Stapp was U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme deceleration on the human body. On December 10
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

a) a=5.7551 \times g

b) d=20.5539\times g

Explanation:

Given:

  • speed of rocket initially, v_i=0\ m.s^{-1}
  • top speed of rocket after acceleration, v=282\ m.s^{-1}
  • time taken to get to the top speed, t_i=5\ m.s^{-1}
  • final speed of the rocket, v_f=0\ m.s^{-1}
  • time taken to get to the final speed after reaching the top speed, t_f=1.4\ s

Now the acceleration:

a=\frac{v-v_i}{t_i}

a=\frac{282-0}{5}

a=56.4\ m.s^{-2}

Now as a fraction of gravity:

a=\frac{56.4}{9.8}\times g

a=5.7551 \times g

Now, the deceleration:

d=\frac{0-282}{1.4}

d=201.4285\ m.s^{-2}

Now as a fraction of gravity:

d=\frac{201.4285}{9.8}\times g

d=20.5539\times g

How does seismic waves cause earthquakes?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Seismic waves cause Earthquakes by shaking the ground aggressively and dangerously. These waves are usually calculated on a seismograph to calculate how hard the earthquake hit that area. A transform Boundary creates the tension when the tectonic plates gets stuck. It stays stuck for a long period of time. Then, at one point, the tectonic plates become unstuck which releases the tension into waves which are called seismic waves. Hope I answered you question.

Is a neutron star also a black hole?
coldgirl [10]

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.
