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>
Answer:
Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter
Explanation:
Given:
Speed of go cart = 25 m/s
Time travel = 20 seconds
Find:
Distance travel by go-cart
Computation:
Distance = Speed x time
Distance travel by go-cart = Speed of go cart x Time travel
Distance travel by go-cart = 25 x 20
Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter
The answer is; Irregular.
Explanation :
The full form of laser is Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It has particles of very high energy. It points in one direction.
Greg is giving a slide show presentation to a large audience. It is very important to make the presentation informative. By using a laser, we can focus on the important part of the presentation. So that we can highlight the important points.
Gravitational force decreases with increasing distance. So it decreases!
