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

Explain why it is dangerous to jump from a fast moving train
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

When you jump off a train, you jump off a certain height and your downwards (vertical) velocity is zero. But your forward (horizontal) velocity is not. You will hit the ground on split second with your horizontal velocity practically the same as the train.

Explanation:

you be in serious injury.

A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The gazelles top speed is 27.3 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = 4.2 m/s²

Time = 6.5 s

Suppose we need to find the gazelles top speed

The speed is equal to the product of acceleration and time.

We need to calculate the gazelles top speed

Using formula of speed

v=at

Where, v = speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=4.2\times6.5

v=27.3\ m/s

Hence, The gazelles top speed is 27.3 m/s.
