Answer:

a_{cA} = 6.075  m/s²

a_{cB} = 6.075  m/s²

F_{cA} = 6682.5 N

F_{cB} = 9720 N

Explanation:

Normal or centripetal acceleration measures change in speed direction over time. Its expression is given by:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2} }{r}  Formula 1

Where:

a_{c} : Is the normal or centripetal acceleration of the body  ( m/s²)

v: It is the magnitude of the tangential velocity of the body at the given point

.(m/s)

r: It is the radius of curvature. (m)

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula ( 2)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

Data

v_{A} = 27 \frac{m}{s}

v_{B} = 27 \frac{m}{s}

m_{A} = 1100 kg

m_{B} = 1600 kg

r= 120 m

Problem development

We replace data in formula (1) to calculate centripetal acceleration:

a_{cA} = \frac{(27)^{2} }{120}

a_{cA} = 6.075  m/s²

a_{cB} = \frac{(27)^{2} }{120}

a_{cB} = 6.075  m/s²

We replace data in formula (2) to calculate  centripetal  force Fc) :

F_{cA} = m_{A} *a_{cA} = 1100kg*6.075\frac{m}{s^{2} }

F_{cA} = 6682.5 N

F_{cB} = m_{B} *a_{cB} = 1600kg*6.075\frac{m}{s^{2} }

F_{cB} = 9720 N

A 1200-kg car is travelling east at a rate of 9 m/s. A 1600-kg truck is travelling south at a rate of 13 m/s. The truck accident
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Around 3.57m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

Let's denote the momentum, mass, and velocity of the car with the subscript 1, and for the truck use 2. After the collision, the combined momentum can be denoted with the subscript 3.

p_1=1200\cdot 9=10800 \\\\p_2=1600\cdot 13=20800 \\\\20800-10800=10000 \\\\1200kg+1600kg=2800kg \\\\10000=2800v_3 \\\\v_3\approx 3.57m/s

Hope this helps!

What is the distance between a 900 kg compact car and a 1600 kg pickup truck if the gravitational force between them is about 0.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The distance is 0.96m

Explanation:

Given

m1= 900kg

m2= 1600kg

Force F= 0.0001nN

G=6.67430*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Required

The distance r

Step two:

the formula for the force is given as

F = Gm1m2/r2

make r subject of the formula

r= \sqrt{\frac{Gm1m2}{F} }

r= \sqrt{\frac{6.67430*10^-11*900*1600}{0.0001} }\\\\r= 0.00009610992/0.0001`}\\\\r= 0.96m

Answer:

The distance is 0.96m

Explanation:

An electric pump rated 1.5 KW lifts 200kg of water through a vertical height of 6m in 10 secs: way is the efficiency of the pump
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Efficiency = Power output / Power input × 100 %

To calculate efficiency we need to find power output of electric pump.

We can use,

Work done = Energy change

Work done per second = Energy change per second

Work done per second = Power

Therefore, Power = Energy change per second

                              = Change in potential energy of water per second

                              =mgh / t

                              = 200× 10×6 / 10

                              = 1200 W = 1.2 kW

Now use the first equation to find efficiency,

Efficiency = \frac{1.2}{1.5} × 100%

                = 80 %
