Answer:

0.0026 m/s²    

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given as follows:

a=\frac{v^2}{r}\\where, v =\frac{2\pi r}{T}

a=\frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}=\frac{4\pi^2r}{T^2}

T=28.0 days\times 24hours\times 3600 s= 2.4\times10^6s

r=240000 mi = 384.4\times 10^6 m

Substitute the values:

a=\frac{4\pi^2 \times 384.4\times10^6}{(2.4\times10^6)^2}=0.0026m/s^2

A bicycle is heading West. It goes 5000m in 500s what's its velocity
dybincka [34]
There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. Based on the given information's the answer to the question can easily be determined.
Distance covered by the bicycle = 5000 meter
Time taken by the bicycle to reach the distance = 500 second.
Velocity of the bicycle = Distance / Time taken
                                   = 5000/500 meter/second
                                   = 50 meter/second
So the velocity of the bicycle is 50 meter per second. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this procedure for solving similar problems.

Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5.0Kg book that is moved to three different shelves on a bookcase. The height of e
rjkz [21]
Formula to find gravitational potential energy:
mgh
m: mass
g: gravitational acceleration
h: height (relative to reference level)

so the P.E. at 1.0.m is (5x9.8x1)= 49J
P.E. at 1.5m is (5x9.8x1.5) =73.5J
P.E. at 2.0m is (5x9.8x2)=98J

A planet orbits a star, in a year of length 3.37 x 107 s, in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.04 x 1011 m. With respect to th
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer

Given,

Time period of star,T = 3.37 x 10⁷ s

Radius of circular orbit,R = 1.04 x 10¹¹ m

a) Angular speed of the planet

   \omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}=\dfrac{2\pi}{3.37\times 10^{7}}

   \omega = 1.864\times 10^{-7}\ rad/s

b) tangential speed

   v = r \omega = 1.04\times 10^{11}\times 1.864 \times 10^{-7}

       v = 1.94 x 10⁴ m/s

c) centripetal acceleration magnitude

      a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}= \dfrac{(1.94\times 10^4)^2}{1.04\times 10^{11}}

          a = 3.62 x 10⁻³ m/s²

a cyclist must travel 800 km. how many days will the trip take if the cyclist travels 8/h day at an average speed of 16km/h
sergey [27]
It would b 6 days and 6 hours
You would times 16 by 8 which gives 128km a day. To find how many days you would divide 800 by how many kilometres they cover a day which is 128
So 800/128 =6.25 which converts to 6 days and 6 hours.
