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

The ms = 0.5645 and mk=0.1113 for a 30 N box on level ground. What level force is needed to start the box moving
nevsk [136]

Answer:

16.935 N

Explanation:

In order to make the box start moving, the level force applied on the box (F) must be greater than the force of static friction that keeps the box at rest, which is equal to

F_f = \mu_s (mg)

where

\mu_s = 0.5645 is the coefficient of static friction

(mg) = 30 N is the weight of the box

Therefore, the condition for F must be:

F \geq F_f\\F \geq \mu_k (mg)=(0.5645)(30 N)=16.935 N

So, the applied force must be greater than this value.

A car starts from rest and undergoes an acceleration of 4.0 m/s/s for a time of 5.0 s. What is the final velocity of the car?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

20m/s

Explanation:

acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time

4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s/5.0sec

5.0sec×4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s×5.0m/s/5.0m/s

20m/s=v

Does current in Helmholtz coils flow in the same or opposite direction through each coil? Explain.
zhenek [66]
To get a uniform field in the central region between the coils, current flows in the same direction in each.

How does inertia affect someone who isn't wearing a seatbelt
Paul [167]
Basically, when someone is resting in an accelerated vehicle without restraint from a seatbelt, the force of stopping the vehicle will be when inertia occurs, and that force of the vehicle coming to a stop will affect the passenger (without a seatbelt/restraint from another force or object) greatly by throwing them.
For example;
If I were to be riding in a vehicle (without a seatbelt) that's accelerating at 40 m/s^2 and it suddenly gets slammed on the breaks, I will be thrown forward from inside the vehicle.

I hope this helps!
