In short-track speed skating, the track has straight sections and semi-circles 16 m in diameter. Assume that a 66 kg skater goes

around the turn at a constant 12 m/s.
A. What is the horizontal force on the skater?
B. What is the ratio of this force to the skater's weight?

Answer:

a. 1,188 N

b. 1.836

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For horizontal force, first we need to find out the circular path radius which is shown below:

As we know that

r = \frac{d}{2}

= \frac{16}{2}

= 8m

Now the horizontal force is

F = \frac{m\times v^2}{r}

where,

m = 66 kg

v = 12 m/s

and r = 8 m

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the horizontal force is

F = \frac{66\times 12^2}{8}

= 1,188 N

b. Now the ratio of force to the weight of skater is

= \frac{1,188 N}{66\ kg \times 9.8m/s^{2}}

= 1.836

Answer:

An accelerometer is a tool that measures proper acceleration.[1] Proper acceleration is the acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) of a body in its own instantaneous rest frame;[2] this is different from coordinate acceleration, which is acceleration in a fixed coordinate system. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration due to Earth's gravity, straight upwards[3] (by definition) of g ≈ 9.81 m/s2. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall (falling toward the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.81 m/s2) will measure zero.

Accelerometers have many uses in industry and science. Highly sensitive accelerometers are used in inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. Vibration in rotating machines is monitored by accelerometers. They are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so that images on screens are always displayed upright. In unmanned aerial vehicles, accelerometers help to stabilise flight.

When two or more accelerometers are coordinated with one another, they can measure differences in proper acceleration, particularly gravity, over their separation in space—that is, the gradient of the gravitational field. Gravity gradiometry is useful because absolute gravity is a weak effect and depends on the local density of the Earth, which is quite variable.

Single- and multi-axis accelerometers can detect both the magnitude and the direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation (because the direction of weight changes), coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium (a case in which the proper acceleration changes, increasing from zero). Micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video-game controllers, to detect changes in the positions of these devices.

A communications channel has a bandwidth of 4,000 hz and a signal-to-noise ratio (snr of 30 db. what is the maximum possible dat
levacccp [35]
Through Shannon's Theorem, we can calculate the capacity of the communications channel using the value of its bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. The capacity, C, can be expressed as 

C = B × log₂(1 + S/N)

where B is the bandwidth of the channel and S/N is its signal-to-noise ratio.

Since the given SN ratio is in decibels, we must first express it as a ratio with no units as

SN (in decibels) = 10 × log (S/N)
30 = 10log(S/N)
log(S/N) = 3
S/N = 10³ = 1000

Now that we have S/N, we can solve for its capacity (in bits per second) as 

C = 4000 × log₂(1 + 1000) 
C = 39868.91 bps

Thus, the maximum capacity of the channel is 39868 bps or 40 kbps.

Answer: 40 kbps
