Answer:

a) v= 2.1 m/s

b) ω = 0.807 rad/s

Explanation

Conceptual analysis :

The dog and the merry-go- round describes a circular motion, then, the following formulas apply :

a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r} Formula (1)

v = ω *r   Formula (2)

Where:

a_{c} : Centripetal acceleration(m/s²)

v: linear speed or tangential (m/s)

r :  radius of the circle (m)

ω : angular speed ( rad/s)

Data

r= 2.6 m

a_{c} =  1.7 m/s²

Problem develpment

a) We replace data in the formula 1 to calculate the dog's linear speed(v):

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

1.7 =\frac{v^{2} }{2.6}

v^{2} =1.7*2.6 = 4.42

v=(\sqrt{4.42})\frac{m}{s}

v= 2.1 m/s

b)We replace data in the formula 2 to calculate the angular speed of the merry-go- round (ω).

v = ω *r

2.1 = ω *2.6

ω = 2.1/2.6

ω = 0.807 rad/s

Describe the valence electrons in nitrogen and how it could bond to other atoms?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Each nitrogen molecule consists of two atoms of nitrogen that are bonded by a triple covalent bond. This is because each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons. Each atom can complete its octet by sharing three electrons.

I hope this helps!

A cord of mass 0.65 kg is stretched between two supports 8.0 m apart. If the tension in the cord is 120 N, how long will it take
DedPeter [7]

The time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is 0.208 s.

<h3>Given:</h3>

The mass of the cord is m = 0.65 kg.

The distance between the supports is, d = 8.0 m.

The tension in the cord is T = 120 N.

The time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is given as,

v=\frac{d}{t}

t=\frac{d}{v}

Here, v is the linear velocity of a pulse. Its value is,

v=\sqrt{\frac{T d }{m} }

v=\sqrt{\frac{120 * 8}{0.65} }

v= 38.43 m/s

Then,

t=\frac{8}{38.43}

t=0.208 s

Thus, the time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is 0.208 s.

Three rocks, each of varying mass and volume, are released from a window at the same time. The window is at height h above the g
krek1111 [17]

Under the assumption that the three rocks are dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same speed. The gravity of Earth is virtually the same for any object that is small compared to the size of the Earth. The acceleration will change with the distance from the Earth, but this change is so small for the range of heights we work with (consider the range of heights from sea level to the tip of Mount Everest) that we can take the average value and assume it to be constant. This constant value of acceleration due to Earth's gravity is 9.80665m/s²


Because the objects fall under the same constant acceleration, they will hit the ground at the same speed.

Two bodies of masses 1000kg and 2000kg are separated 1km which is the gravitational force between them
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the gravitational constant,

M and m are the masses of the objects,

and r is the distance between them.

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ N/m²/kg²) (1000 kg) (2000 kg) / (1000 m)²

F = 1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N
