Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

When an object is moving around an circular path it experiences an force towards the centre of circular path radially. This force is called centripetal force.

Due to the centripetal force a centripetal acceleration is also acting on the body which also have same direction as force that is radially inwards.

A cyclist acceleration from 0m/s to 8m/s in 3second. what is his acceleration?​
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

2.66 m/s² .

Explanation:

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s

Final Velocity , v = 8 m/s

Time Taken , t = 3 s

So , Acceleration = (v-u)/t = (8 m/s - 0 m/s) /3 sec . = 8/3 m/s² = 2.66 m/s²

A skiy diver, with parachute unopened, falls 625 m in 15.0s.
olganol [36]

Answer:

average velocity = 6.25m/sec

Explanation:

given data:

for unopened

height = 625 m

time  = 15 sec

for opened

height = 356 m

time =  142 sec

Unopened:

V1 = \frac{625\ m}{15\ sec} = 41.67m/sec

Opened:

V2 = \frac{356\ m}{142\ sec} = 2.51m/sec

we know that

Total Average Velocity= \frac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}

average velocity= \frac{981\ m}{157\ sec}

average velocity = 6.25m/sec

Which of these observations would most likely be seen in stage N
Free_Kalibri [48]
'N' is labelled 'runoff'. That's when the water is down. Streets are wet, worms come out of the ground, and water flows down the street to the sewer.

What is energy converted to if it is not used to do work?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

the human body isn't very efficient at converting food into useful work. The human body is less than 5% efficient most of the time. The rest of the energy is converted to heat, which may or may not be useful, depending on how cool or warm a person wants to be.

A bike at rest moves to 2 m/s in 2 seconds.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

When at rest, initial velocity = 0

In 2 seconds, final velocity = 2 m/s

Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

= (2 - 0) / 2

= 1 m/s^2
