Snezhnost [94]3 years ago

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).

masha68 [24]

Answer: R = 394.36ohm

Explanation: In a LR circuit, voltage for a resistor in function of time is given by:

V(t) = \epsilon. e^{-t.\frac{L}{R} }

ε is emf

L is indutance of inductor

R is resistance of resistor

After 4s, emf = 0.8*19, so:

0.8*19 = 19. e^{-4.\frac{22}{R} }

0.8 = e^{-\frac{88}{R} }

ln(0.8) = ln(e^{-\frac{88}{R} })

ln(0.8) = -\frac{88}{R}

R = -\frac{88}{ln(0.8)}

R = 394.36

In this LR circuit, the resistance of the resistor is 394.36ohms.

Why does the area around the equator stay about the same temperature year round?
Verdich [7]
Axial Tilt and Sun Energy

This axial tilt means that during the Earth's journey around the sun the poles receive varying amounts of sunlight. The equator, however, receives relatively consistent sunlight all year. The consistency of energy means the equator's temperature stays relatively constant all year.

What causes the particles within the nucleus of an atom to bond together? Question 12 options: electromagnetism gravity weak nuc
monitta

Answer:

Strong nuclear force

Explanation:

The particles in the atom's nucleus bond together because there is a strong nuclear force between the protons and neutrons that attracts them to each other and binds together the nucleus.
