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]2 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).

A man wishes to pull a crate 15m across a rough floor by exerting a force of 100 N. The
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

option (E) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance in the direction of force.

force, f = 100 N

Coefficient of friction, = 0.25

distance = 15 m

So, net force F = f - friction force

F = 100 - 0.25 x m g

Work = (100 - 0.25 mg) x d cosθ

For minimum work, the angle should be maximum.

So, the value of θ is 76°.

thus, option (E) is correct.

The particles that make up protons and neutrons are called
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Quark

Explanation:

In the past the proton,neutron and electron were believed to be indivisible. Quarks were later discovered to be particles that make up the proton and neutron. Quarks are known as fast moving points of energy and are usually joined to one another through gluons. Neutron has two down quarks and one up quark while proton has two up quarks and one down quark.

How long does it take for a train to increase its velocity from 10m/s to 40m/s if it accelerates at 3 m/s
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

a = 3 m/s^2

Formula

a = (vf - vi) /t              Substitute the givens into this formuls

Solution

3 = (40 - 10) / t          Multiply both sides by t

3*t = t(40 - 10)/t        Combine. Cancel t's on the right

3*t = 30                     Divide by 3

3t/3 = 30 / 3

Answer: t = 10 seconds.
