The average speed of a moving body is given by:
average speed = total distance / total time
average speed = 560 / 25
22.4 meters per second
The skier is traveling at an average velocity of 22.4 meters per second.
The weight changes but the mass will stay the same.
Answer:
α = 395 rad/s²
Explanation:
Main features of uniformly accelerated circular motion
A body performs a uniformly accelerated circular motion when its trajectory is a circle and its angular acceleration is constant (α = cte). In it the velocity vector is tangent at each point to the trajectory and, in addition, its magnitude varies uniformly.
There is tangential acceleration (at) and is constant.
at = α*R Formula (1)
where
α is the angular acceleration
R is the radius of the circular path
There is normal or centripetal acceleration that determines the change in direction of the velocity vector.
Data
R = 0.0600 m :blade radius
at = 23.7 m/s² : tangential acceleration of the blades
Angular acceleration of the blades (α)
We replace data in the formula (1)
at = α*R
23.7 = α*(0.06)
α = (23.7) / (0.06)
α = 395 rad/s²
