Answer:

a. 12.57 m/s b. 39.5 m/s² c. Her centripetal force is four times her weight.

Explanation:

a. What is Missy's linear speed on the rotor?

Missy's linear speed v = 2πr/T where r = radius = 4.0 m and T = time it takes to complete one revolution = 2.0 s

So, v = 2πr/T

= 2π(4.0 m)/2.0 s

= 4π m/s

= 12.57 m/s

b. What is  Missy's centripetal acceleration on the rotor?

Missy's centripetal acceleration, a = v²/r where v = linear velocity = 12.57 m/s and r = radius = 4.0 m

a = v²/r

= (12.57 m/s)²/4.0 m

= 158.01 m²/s² ÷ 4.0 m

= 39.5 m/s²

c. If her mass is 50-Kg, how is the centripetal force  compare to her weight?

Her centripetal force F = ma where m = mass = 50 kg and a = centripetal acceleration = 39.5 m/s².

Her weight W = mg where m = mass = 50 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

So, comparing her centripetal force to her weight, we have

F/W = ma/mg

= a/g

= 39.5 m/s² ÷ 9.8 m/s²

= 4.03

≅ 4

So her centripetal force is four times her weight.

Properties such as luster conductivity and flexibility are used to describe what type of elements
pickupchik [31]
Answer: metals.

Justification:

There are 118  elements which you can find in the periodic table ordered by atomic number. Those elements my be classified into metals, non-metals and metalloids.

The metals are placed on the left side of the periodic table. The metals share the properties of luster, conductivity and flexibility.

The properties of non-metals (which are on the right side of the periodic table) are opposite to those of metals: opaque, low conductivity and brittle.

Metalloids have in between properties.

Copper, for example is a metal: it has luster, is flexible and is highly conductive of the electricity (and temperature).

The three branches of science earth and physicals
seropon [69]
<span>Science is always defined as the body of knowledge and linked to something related to the physical world, phenomena and lives of everything that exist on Earth. Science is categorized in various ways.  Pure, practical or theoretical, is the largest distinction of  science or whether science is applied.  Generally, pure science is subdivided into Physical sciences, Earth sciences, and Life sciences.  Physical sciences deal with energy and matter, Earth sciences explain Earth’s phenomena, to the solar system where it belongs and its atmosphere. And finally, life sciences describe internal processes of living organisms, its relationship to each other and to its environment.</span>

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N
