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?
Physics

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).

If the object starts at point A what is the total energy of the system?
Oxana [17]

The total energy of the system is 88.2 J

Explanation:

The total (mechanical) energy of an object is given by:

E=PE+KE

where

PE is the potential energy

KE is the kinetic energy

At the starting point, the object is at rest: this means that its kinetic energy is zero, so all its energy is potential energy, which is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object

In this problem, we have (at point A):

m = 3.0 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

h = 3.0 m

Substituting, we find:

E=U=(3.0)(9.8)(3.0)=88.2 J

What do we mean when we describe forces as balanced?
aivan3 [116]

Well, first, let's recognize that there is no such thing as a force that is
balanced or unbalanced.

When we say that a group of two or more forces is balanced, we mean
that when you add up all the magnitudes and directions of the forces, the
whole group adds up to zero, so they have the same net effect as if there
were no force at all.
