Answer:

20.25 m

Explanation:

<u>Centripetal acceleration </u>is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path.

That is;

<em><u>ac = v²/r</u></em>

<em> </em><em><u> Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the radius, m</u></em>

Therefore;

r = v²/ac

= 27²/36

= 20.25 m

Hence the radius is 20.25 meters

Answer: Third option.

Explanation: The equation for the centripetal acceleration in a circle is calculated as:

Ac = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the car and r is the radius of the circle.

We know that Ac = 36 m/s^2 and v = 27 m/s, now we can replace it in the equation for Ac and find the value of r.

36 = 27^2/r

r= 27^2/36 = 20.25m

So the radius of the circle is 20.25m, the answer that is more close to it, is the third one, 20m

REY [17]

Answer:

F = 196 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law, we define a reference system with the x axis in the direction of movement of the stones and the y axis vertically

Y axis

N- W = 0

N = mg

X axis

F -fr = ma

In this case, they ask us for the force to keep moving, so the stones go at constant speed, which implies that the acceleration is zero.

F- fr = 0

F = fr

the friction force has the equation

fr = μ N

fr = μ mg

we substitute

F = μ mg

let's calculate

F = 0.80 9.8 25

F = 196 N

A 7600 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.35 m/s2 and feels no appreci

ollegr [7]

Answer:

a) The rocket reaches a maximum height of 737.577 meters.

b) The rocket will come crashing down approximately 17.655 seconds after engine failure.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that rocket accelerates uniformly in the two stages. First, rocket is accelerates due to engine and second, it is decelerated by gravity.

1st Stage - Engine

Given that initial velocity, acceleration and travelled distance are known, we determine final velocity ( $v$ ), measured in meters per second, by using this kinematic equation:

$v = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2} +2\cdot a\cdot \Delta s}$ (1)

Where:

$a$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$\Delta s$ - Travelled distance, measured in meters.

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = 2.35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta s = 595\,m$ , the final velocity of the rocket is:

$v = \sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+2\cdot \left(2.35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (595\,m)}$

$v\approx 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}$

The time associated with this launch ( $t$ ), measured in seconds, is:

$t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}$

$t = \frac{52.882\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}}{2.35\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$t = 22.503\,s$

2nd Stage - Gravity

The rocket reaches its maximum height when final velocity is zero:

$v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2\cdot a\cdot (s-s_{o})$ (2)

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$s_{o}$ - Initial height, measured in meters.

$s$ - Final height, measured in meters.

If we know that $v_{o} = 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $s_{o} = 595\,m$ , then the maximum height reached by the rocket is:

$v^{2} -v_{o}^{2} = 2\cdot a\cdot (s-s_{o})$

$s-s_{o} = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}$

$s = s_{o} + \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}$

$s = 595\,m + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(52.882\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$s = 737.577\,m$

The rocket reaches a maximum height of 737.577 meters.

b) The time needed for the rocket to crash down to the launch pad is determined by the following kinematic equation:

$s = s_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$s_{o}$ - Initial height, measured in meters.

$s$ - Final height, measured in meters.

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that $s_{o} = 595\,m$ , $v_{o} = 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $s = 0\,m$ and $a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the time needed by the rocket is:

$0\,m = 595\,m + \left(52.882\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot t^{2}$

$-4.904\cdot t^{2}+52.882\cdot t +595 = 0$

Then, we solve this polynomial by Quadratic Formula:

$t_{1}\approx 17.655\,s$ , $t_{2} \approx -6.872\,s$

Only the first root is solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the rocket will come crashing down approximately 17.655 seconds after engine failure.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

I’m not sure if its correct but I think it’s focal Ray point

For concave mirrors, some generalizations can be made to simplify ray construction. They are: An incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis will reflect and pass through the focal point. An incident ray traveling through the focal point will reflect and travel parallel to the principal axis.
