A merry-go-round rotates with a centripetal acceleration of 15 m/s2. If the

Physics
1 answer:
Tpy6a [65]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B. 10.2 m/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is:

a = v² / r

Given a = 15 m/s² and r = 7 m:

15 m/s² = v² / (7 m)

v = 10.2 m/s

When you throw a ball the work you do to accelerate it equals the kinetic energy the ball gains?
dezoksy [38]
In short yes. However, lets say you lift a ball of the ground. and release it. you do not accelerate it by any means however it has kinetic energy as it is clearly moving. what happened there is the distance from the ground is potential energy once you release it it becomes kinetic energy.

when you throw a ball you use the potential stored energy in your muscles and convert it to kinetix energy as you move your hand. at the release the ball has gained nearly all that energy. some is lost in heat and friction.

A spy satellite uses a telescope with a 1.7-m-diameter mirror. It orbits the earth at a height of 180 km.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m

height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m

wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m

Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;

sin∅= 1.22 λ / d

sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7

 sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷

we know that;

 sin∅  = object separation / distance from telescope

object separation =   sin∅ × distance from telescope

object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷  × 180 × 10³

object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m

then we convert to centimeter

object separation = 6.45 cm

Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Io, a satellite of Jupiter, is the most volcanically active moon or planet in the solar system. It has volcanoes that send plume
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1331.84 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 490 km

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.81 m/s² = a

From equation of linear motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -1.81\times 490000}\\\Rightarrow u=1331.84\ m/s

The speed of the material must be 1331.84 m/s in order to reach the height of 490 km
