For sprinters running at 12 m/s around a curved track of radius 26 m, how much greater (as a percentage) is the average total fo

rce on their feet compared to when they are running in a straight line?

Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

114.86%

Explanation:

In both cases, there is a vertical force equal to the sprinter's weight:

Fy = mg

When running in a circle, there is an additional centripetal force:

Fx = mv²/r

The net force is found with Pythagorean theorem:

F² = Fx² + Fy²

F² = (mv²/r)² + (mg)²

F² = m² ((v²/r)² + g²)

F = m √((v²/r)² + g²)

Compared to just the vertical force:

F / Fy

m √((v²/r)² + g²) / mg

√((v²/r)² + g²) / g

Given v = 12 m/s, r = 26 m, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

√((12²/26)² + 9.8²) / 9.8

1.1486

The force is about 114.86% greater (round as needed).

Which of the following are single-displacement reactions?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A & D

Explanation:

A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction whereby one element is substituted for another one in a compound and thereby generating a new element and also a new compound as products.

From the options, only options A & D fits this definition of single-displacement reactions.

For option D: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that K is substituted from KBr to join Cl to form KCl and Br2 on the right hand side.

For option A: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that OH is substituted from 2H2O to join Mg to form Mg(OH)2 and H2 on the right hand side.

The other options are not correct because they don't involve only and element and a compound on each side of the reaction.

In a rigid container, as the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure of the gas will decrease. t f
Sergio039 [100]
The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

Given that the speed of sound in air is 330m/s ,calculate the frequency of a note which setup a wavelength of 5cm in air.Is this
Pie

Explanation:

v = wavelength x frequency

330 = 5 . 10-² m x f

f = 6600 Hz

the frequency that human can hear is about 20 Hz - 20000 Hz

so human can hear the note.
