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 9V battery produces a 1.5A current in a piece of wire. What is the resistance of the wire?
MAVERICK [17]

Explanation:

Using Ohm's Law and a bit of substitution, we can use voltage divided by current to solve for resistance. Doing that, we'll get 6 Ohm.

Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no f
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:m_1g

Explanation:

Given

Two masses m_1  and m_2  is released and there is tension T in the string

Suppose a is the acceleration of the system

Therefore from Diagram

For m_1

T-m_1g=m_1a

T=m_1(g+a)------1

for m_2 body

m_2g-T=m_2a

T=m_2(g-a)-------2

From above two Equation it is said that Tension is greater than m_1g and less than m_2g

m_1g

Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 1.93-kg object is at +2.91 m, a 2.95-kg object is at +2.43 m, a 2.41-kg
Anna [14]

Answer:

0.958 m

Explanation:

So the total mass of the system is

M = 1.93 + 2.95 + 2.41 + 3.99 = 11.28  kg

let y be the distance from the center of mass to the origin. With the reference to the origin then we have the following equation

My = m_1y_1 + m_2y_2 +m_3y_3 + m_4y_4

11.28y = 1.93*2.91 + 2.95*2.43 + 2.41*0 + 3.99*(-0.496) = 10.806

y = \frac{10.806}{11.28} = 0.958 m

So the center of mass is 0.958 m from the origin
