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

When a rocket is 4 kilometers high, it is moving vertically upward at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. At that instant, how f
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The angle of elevation of the rocket is increasing at a rate of 48.780º per second.

Explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the distance between the rocket and the observer (r), measured in kilometers, can be represented by a right triangle:

r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} (1)

Where:

x - Horizontal distance between the rocket and the observer, measured in kilometers.

y - Vertical distance between the rocket and the observer, measured in kilometers.

The angle of elevation of the rocket (\theta), measured in sexagesimal degrees, is defined by the following trigonometric relation:

\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} (2)

If we know that x = 5\,km, then the expression is:

\tan \theta = \frac{y}{5}

And the rate of change of this angle is determined by derivatives:

\sec^{2}\theta \cdot \dot \theta = \frac{1}{5}\cdot \dot y

\frac{\dot \theta}{\cos^{2}\theta} = \frac{\dot y}{5}

\frac{\dot \theta\cdot (25+y^{2})}{25} = \frac{\dot y}{5}

\dot \theta = \frac{5\cdot \dot y}{25+y^{2}}

Where:

\dot \theta - Rate of change of the angle of elevation, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

\dot y - Vertical speed of the rocket, measured in kilometers per hour.

If we know that y = 4\,km and \dot y = 400\,\frac{km}{h}, then the rate of change of the angle of elevation is:

\dot \theta = 48.780\,\frac{\circ}{s}

The angle of elevation of the rocket is increasing at a rate of 48.780º per second.

a trcuk weighs four times as much as a stationary car. if teh truck coasts into the car at 12 km/s and they stick toegther, what
Andrews [41]

Answer:

  v=9.6 km/s

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the car =  m

The mass of the truck = 4 m

The velocity of the truck ,u= 12 km/s

The final velocity when they stick = v

If there is no any external force on the system  then the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Pi = Pf

m x 0 + 4 m x 12 = (m + 4 m) x v

0 + 48 m = 5 m v

5  v  = 48

v=\dfrac{48}{5}\ km/s

v=9.6 km/s

Therefore the final velocity will be 9.6 km/s.

With what magnitude of force does a ball of mass 0.75 kilograms need to be hit so that it accelerates at the rate of 25 meters/s
serious [3.7K]

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

               = (0.75 kg) x (25 m/s²)

               =  (0.75 x 25)  kg-m/s²

               =    18.75 newtons .

Note that even though we're talking about a 'hit', the acceleration only
lasts as long as the bat is in contact with the ball.  Once the ball leaves
the bat, it travels at whatever speed it had at the instant when they parted. 
Any change in its speed or direction after that is the result of gravity, air
resistance, and the fielder's mitt.  I learned a lot about these things a few
weeks ago, since I live in Chicago, about 6 miles from Wrigley Field, in
a house full of Cubs fans.
