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

Over [174]

Answer:

4.1\cdot 10^8 N

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the pressure exerted on the sphere, which is given by:

p=p_0 + \rho g h

where

p_0 =1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa is the atmospheric pressure

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3 is the water density

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

h=11,000 m is the depth

Substituting,

p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(11,000 m)=1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa

The radius of the sphere is r = d/2= 1.1 m/2= 0.55 m

So the total area of the sphere is

A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.55 m)^2=3.8 m^2

And so, the inward force exerted on it is

F=pA=(1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa)(3.8 m^2)=4.1\cdot 10^8 N

Explain how the loss of a plant, or producer, in an ecosystem can affect a secondary consumer
vova2212 [387]
When plants die they become food for the decomposer for example Lettuce, If all the Lettuce in someones field died the decomposer would get its nutriets and make the soil stronger, so if you plant more Lettuce and it survives the Consumer would get to eat the lettuce. Hope this helped! :)

When the driver presses the brake pedal, his car stops with an acceleration of - 8.7 m/s. How far will the car travel while comi
klemol [59]

Answer:

D. 5.7 m

Explanation:

The acceleration of the car is -8.7 m/s² and the car has an initial speed (u) of 10 m/s. The car said to come to rest, that means that the final velocity (v) of the car is 0 m/s.

To find the distance traveled by the car (s) before complete stop, this equation is being used:

v² = u² + 2as

2as=v^2-u^2\\s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\ Substituting:\\s=\frac{0-10^2}{2*-8.7}\\ s=\frac{-100}{17.4}\\ s=5.7\ m

The car traveled 5.7 m before coming to a complete stop

Josh manages security at a power plant. The facility is sensitive, and security is very important. He would like to incorporate
Studentka2010 [4]
  • Question: Josh manages security at a power plant. The facility is sensitive, and security is very important. He would like to incorporate two-factor authentications with physical security. Which of the options below is the best way to meet this requirement?  A) Smart cards B) A mantrap with a smart card at one door and a pin keypad at the other door C) A mantrap with video surveillance D) A fence with smart card gate access  Answer: The correct answer is (B) A mantrap with a smart card at one door and a pin keypad at the other door  Explanation: Multi-factor access control systems are access control systems that authorises access only after more than one piece of evidence is presented to authenticate a user. The mechanisms used in multi-factor authentication include 1.  Knowledge (something the user and only the user knows),  2.  Possession (something the user and only the user has), and  3.  Inherence (something the user and only the user is). A two-factor authentication system uses two of these mechanisms to grant or deny access. An authentication system that uses a mantrap with a smart card (possession) on one door and a pin keypad (knowledge ) on the other door is a two factor authentication system.
