For an object moving in a path that's a circle or a part of one,
the centripetal force acts in the direction toward the center of
the circle. That direction is perpendicular to the way the object
is moving.

Answer:

$v_{2}=3.5 m/s$

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy we have:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh$

Let's solve it for v:

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

So the speed at the lowest point is $v=7 m/s$

Now, using the conservation of momentum we have:

$m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}$

$v_{2}=\frac{1*7}{2}$

Therefore the speed of the block after the collision is $v_{2}=3.5 m/s$

Please help me with this question guys.

Answer:

<em>The average speed is 22.2 km/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Average Speed</u>

Given an object travels a total distance d and took a total time t, then the average speed is:

$\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{d}{t}$

The mailman first drives d1=7 km at v1=15 km/h. The time taken to drive is:

$\displaystyle t1=\frac{d1}{v1}=\frac{7}{15}=0.467\ h$

Then he drives d2=7 km at v2=43 km/h taking a time of:

$\displaystyle t2=\frac{d2}{v2}=\frac{7}{43}=0.163\ h$

The total time is

t=0.467 h + 0.163 h = 0.63 h

The total distance is

d = 7 km + 7 km = 14 km

The average speed is:

$\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{14}{0.63}=22.2\ km/h$

The average speed is 22.2 km/h

You see a total eclipse of the sun. Three Saros cycles later, you find yourself at the same location.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. You would not have to travel far to see another total eclipse .

Explanation:

it is said that the way to predict or know beforehand if there is a lunar or solar eclipse is just to know the what is called the saros which are periods of exactly 223 synodic months and the eclipses are repeated or occurred in the same location every 3 Saros cycles.
