Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i

n the outer section at a distance of 11.5 feet from the center. Alex decides to play it safe and chooses to sit in the inner section at a distance of 6 feet from the center. What is Mary's centripetal acceleration aM compared to that of Alex's centripetal acceleration aA?

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

What is the formula for instant velocity when I have time and distance?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

v(t)= (d/dt)x(t)

Explanation:

The instantaneous velocity of an object is the limit of the average velocity as the elapsed time approaches zero, or the derivative of x with respect to t. Like average velocity, instantaneous velocity is a vector with dimension of length per time. The instantaneous velocity at a specific time point  t 0  is the rate of change of the position function, which is the slope of the position function  

x ( t ) at  t 0 .

If a car has a kinetic energy of 40000 J and is moving at a velocity of 25 m/s, what is the mass of the car? KE=1/2mv
ohaa [14]

Answer:

3200 Kg

Explanation:

Just apply the formula:

40.000 = 1/2 . m . 25

80.000 = 25m

m = 80.000/25

m = 3200 Kg
