A train has a constant speed of 10 m/s around a track with a diameter of 45 m what is the centripal acceleration?

Physics

Bumek [7]3 years ago

Answer:

a_{c}= 4.44\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

When an object goes on a circular movement, it has a centripetal acceleration that always points toward the center of the circle, it is the responsible of the change of direction in the movement of the object. and that centripetal acceleration is related with the speed in the next way:

a_{c}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}, with v the speed, r the radius of the track that is half of the diameter (22.5 m)

a_{c}=\frac{10^{2}}{22.5}

a_{c}= 4.44\frac{m}{s}

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Angle of incline is 20.2978°

Explanation:

Given that;

Gravitational acceleration on a planet a = 3.4 m/s²

Gravitational acceleration on Earth g = 9.8 m/s²

Angle of incline = ∅

Mass of the stone = m

Force on the stone along the incline will be;

F = mgSin∅

F = ma

The stone has the same acceleration as that of the gravitational acceleration on the planet.

so

ma = mgSin∅

a = gSin∅

Sin∅ = a / g

we substitute

Sin∅ = (3.4 m/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

Sin∅ = 0.3469

∅ = Sin⁻¹( 0.3469 )

∅ = 20.2978°

Therefore, Angle of incline is 20.2978°

What is the weight of a feather (mass = 0.0001 kg) that floats through earth's and the moon's atmospheres?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.

The feather's weight is . . .

On Earth:  (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>

On the Moon:  (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>

The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference.  In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup.  Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth.  It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
