Wow !  This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.

The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is

                          (speed-squared)  /  (radius of the circle)  .

Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.

We know the radius of the track.  We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out.  That's what we
need to do first.

Speed  =  (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).

Distance = 10 laps of the track.   Well how far is that ? ? ?

1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) =  2.4π  meters

10 laps =  24π  meters.

Time = 1 minute 20 seconds  =  80 seconds

The trains speed is  (distance) / (time)

                               =  (24π meters) / (80 seconds)

                               =        0.3 π  meters/second .

NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.

                                 <span> (speed)²  /  (radius)

                           =    (0.3π m/s)²  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π m²/s²)  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π  /  1.2)   m/s²

                           =          0.236  m/s²  .        (rounded)

If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...

Well,       Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .

We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force.       </span>

Luda [366]
  • Answer:

<em>12,25 km/h</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>

  • Explanation:

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>= 12,25km/h</em>

<em>or</em>

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>1h = 60m×60s = 3600s</em>

<em>= 12250m/3600s</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>

How much current is in a circult that includes a 9.0-volt battery and a bulb with a resistance of 4.0 ohms?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Current, I = 2.3 A

Explanation:

We have,

Voltage of the battery in a circuit is 9 volts

Resistance of the circuit is 4 ohms

It is required to find the current in a circuit. When the voltage and the resistance of the circuit is given then we can find the current in it is given by Ohm's law as :

V=IR

I is electric current

I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\I=2.25\ A

or

I = 2.3 A

So, the current in the circuit is 2.3 A.

10points asap <br><br> A force of 30 N acts upon a 7 kg block. Calculate its acceleration.
nekit [7.7K]
Hello! Assuming that the only force acting on the mass is 30N...

Fnet = 30N
Fnet = ma (mass x acceleration)
ma = 30N
a = 30N / m
a = 30N / 7kg
a = 4.2857 m/s^2
a = 4 m/s^2

I hope this helps!
