Answer:

0.7757 rev/s

Explanation:

d = Diameter of the tornado = 53 m

r = Radius of the tornado = 53/2 = 26.5 m

v = Velocity of wind = 465 km/h

Converting velocity to m/s

$465=465\times \frac{1000}{3600}=\frac{775}{6}$

Angular velocity

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{\frac{775}{6}}{26.5}\\\Rightarrow \omega=4.87\ rad/s$

$\omega=4.87\frac{1}{2\pi}=0.7757\ rev/s$

∴ Angular velocity is 0.7757 rev/s

A diver springs upward from a board that is 4.40 m above the water. At the instant she contacts the water her speed is 13.5 m/s

Yakvenalex [24]

The diver has the initial velocity, both (a) magnitude is 9.8 m/s and (b) direction is 73.5°.

<h3>What is free falling?</h3>

When an object is released from rest in free air considering no friction, the motion is depend only on the acceleration due to gravity, g.

If we drop an object of mass m near the Earth surface from a height h, it has initial mechanical energy(P.E)

U =mgh

When the object strikes the ground, all the potential energy converted into kinetic energy.

K.E = 1/2mv²

where v is the speed just before hitting the ground.

A diver springs upward from a board that is 4.40 m above the water. At the instant, she contacts the water her speed is 13.5 m/s and her body makes an angle of 78.1 ° with respect to the horizontal surface of the water.

(a)

From energy conservation principle, initial and final mechanical energy are equal.

1/2mu² + mgh = 1/2mv²

where, u is the initial velocity of the diver.

u = sq rt (v² - 2gh)

u = sq rt (13.5² - 2x9.81x4.4)

u = 9.798 m/s or 9.8 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the diver is 9.8 m/s.

(b)

The horizontal component of velocity will remain constant.

The horizontal component of acceleration is zero.

Then,

ucosθ = vcosΦ

θ = cos⁻¹ [ (13.5 x cos 78.1)/9.8 ]

θ = 73.5°

Thus, the direction of velocity is 73.5°.

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

F=ma

a= $\frac{F}{m}$

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.

A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 3.00 blocks west, 4.00 blocks north, and then 6.00 blocks east. What

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

13 blocks

Explanation:

The total distance the student travels is 13 blocks.

Distance is the length of path covered during the motion of a body.

To find distance:

Total distance = Number of blocks to the west + number of blocks to the north + number of blocks to the east

Total distance = 3blocks + 4blocks + 6blocks = 13blocks
