Answer: a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration. According to Newton's second law of motion, net force is mass times acceleration: net . For uniform circular motion, the acceleration is the centripetal acceleration

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

An archer puts a 0.30 kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m.a. Assuming
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of archer m=0.3\ kg

Average force F_{avg}=201\ N

extension in arrow x=1.3\ m

Work done to stretch the bow with arrow

W=F\cdot x

W=201\times 1.3=261.3\ m

This work done is converted into kinetic Energy of arrow

W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v= velocity of arrow

261.3=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.3\times v^2

v=\sqrt{1742}

v=41.73\ m/s

(b)if arrow is thrown vertically upward then this energy is converted to Potential energy

W=mgh

261.3=0.3\times 9.8\times h

h=\frac{261.3}{0.3\times 9.8}

h=88.87\ m

A 1500 kg car traveling 5.0 m/s collides head on with a 3000 kg truck traveling
Setler [38]
  • m1=1500kg
  • m_2=3000kg
  • v_1=5m/s
  • v_2=7m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m1+m2)v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 1500(5)-3000(7)=(1500+3000)v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 7500-21000=4500v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow -13500=4500v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow v_3=-3m/s

A radioactive material has a count rate of 400 per minute. It has a half life of 40 years. How long will it take to decay to a r
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

160 years.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Cբ = 1/2ⁿ × Cᵢ

25 = 1/2ⁿ × 400

Cross multiply

25 × 2ⁿ = 400

Divide both side by 25

2ⁿ = 400/25

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 40

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 40

t = 160 years.

Thus, it will take 160 years for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute.
