A hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 12.0 m at constant speed 4.00 m/s. (a) Find its centripetal acceleration. (b) It cont

inues to fly along the same horizontal arc, but increases its speed at the rate of 1.20 m/s2. Find the acceleration (magnitude and direction) in this situation at the moment the hawk’s speed is 4.00 m/s.

Answer:

a) a_c= 1.33 m/s^2

b) a= 1.79 m/s²

   θ = 41.98⁰

Explanation:

arc radius  = 12 m

constant speed = 4.00 m/s

(a) centripetal acceleration

     a_c=\frac{v^2}{R}

     a_c=\frac{4^2}{12}

                  = 1.33 m/s²

(b) now we have given

        a_t= \ 1.20 m/s^2

        now,

         a=\sqrt{a^2_c+ a^2_t}

         a=\sqrt{1.33^2+ 1.20^2}

            a= 1.79 m/s²

 direction

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{a_t}{a_r} )

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1.2}{1.33} )

     θ = 41.98⁰

Answer:

3.5 amperes

Explanation:

I = E/R

I = ?

E = 70volts

R = 20 Ohms

Therefore , I = 70/20

= 3.5 amperes

Why must one use a reference point to determine whether or not an object is in motion
GaryK [48]
Because there's no such thing as "really" moving. 
ALL motion is always relative to something.

Here's an example:
You're sitting in a comfy cushy seat, reading a book and listening
to your .mp3 player, and you're getting drowsy.  It's so warm and
comfortable, your eyes are getting so heavy, finally the book slips
out of your hand, falls into your lap, and you are fast asleep.

-- Relative to you, the book is not moving at all.
-- Relative to the seat, you are not moving at all.
-- Relative to the wall and the window, the seat is not moving at all.
-- But your seat is in a passenger airliner.  Relative to people on the
    ground, you are moving past them at almost 500 miles per hour !
-- Relative to the center of the Earth, the people on the ground are moving
   in a circle at more than 700 miles per hour.  
-- Relative to the center of the Sun, the Earth and everything on it are moving
   in a circle at about 66,700 miles per hour ! 

How fast are they REALLY moving ?
There's no such thing.
It all depends on what reference you're using.

A 12.0N force with a fixed orientation does work on a
kvasek [131]

Answer:

(a) \theta=62.31^{\circ}

(b) \theta=117.68^{\circ}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the particle, F = 12 N

Displacement of the particle, d=(2.00i -4.00j+3.00k)\ m

Magnitude of displacement, d=\sqrt{2^2+4^2+3^2}= 5.38\ m

(a) If the change in the kinetic energy of the particle is +30 J. The work done by the particle is given by :

W=Fd\ cos\theta

\theta is the angle between force and the displacement

According to work energy theorem, the charge in kinetic energy of the particle is equal to the work done.

So,

cos\theta=\dfrac{W}{Fd}

cos\theta=\dfrac{+30\ J}{12\times 5.38}

\theta=62.31^{\circ}

(b) If the change in the kinetic energy of the particle is (-30) J. The work done by the particle is given by :

cos\theta=\dfrac{W}{Fd}

cos\theta=\dfrac{-30\ J}{12\times 5.38}

\theta=117.68^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

If someone were monitoring your vital signs (like your heart rate, oxygen content in your blood, blood pressure, etc.) every hou
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Accuracy

Explanation:

I think accuracy is more important. When it comes to vital organs in the body, the exactness of getting the measurement is paramount. Accuracy deals with getting very close, almost exact you may say, to a known standard. Precision on the other hand, deals with how easy a measurement can be retaken, reproduced or remade, irrespective of how far or close they are from the accepted norm.

From this, we can agree that precision neglects the most important factor, closeness or say, exactness. Precision isn't bothered by it. And while that can be excused in a few instances, it certainly can not be permitted when it comes to life, or organs of the body

If Vector A is (3, 0) and Vector B is (-3, 3), what is the resultant?
Archy [21]

Answer:resultant vector R = (0, 3)

Explanation: vector A = (3, 0)

vector B =(-3, 3)

Vectors are added such that those in same directions are added together. The resultant vector R is the given by R = (3-3, 0+3)

= (0, 3)
