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.

A boy throws a stone straight upward with an initial

Dominik [7]

Answer:

14.8m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed = 17m/s

Unknown:

Maximum height = ?

Solution:

At the maximum height, the final speed will be 0m/s;

We use of the kinematics equation to solve this problem.

V² = U² - 2gH

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

0² = 17² - (2 x 9.8 x h )

0 = 289 - (9.6h)

-289 = -19.6h

h = 14.8m

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

$r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that:

magnetic field intensity, $B=0.07\ T$

kinetic energy of electron, $KE=1.2\ eV= 1.2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J= 1.92\times 10^{-19}\ J$

we have mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Now, form the mathematical expression of Kinetic Energy:

$KE= \frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$1.92\times 10^{-19}=0.5\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times v^2$

$v^2=4.2198\times 10^{11}$

$v=6.496\times 10^6\ m.s^{-1}$

from the relation of magnetic and centripetal forces we have the radius as:

$r=\frac{m.v}{q.B}$

$r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 6.496\times 10^6 }{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.07}$

$r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m$

A 40 g ball rolls around a 30 cm -diameter L-shaped track, shown in the figure, (Figure 1)at 60 rpm . What is the magnitude of t

levacccp [35]

Answer:

0.47 N

Explanation:

Here we have a ball in motion along a circular track.

For an object in circular motion, there is a force that "pulls" the object towards the centre of the circle, and this force is responsible for keeping the object in circular motion.

This force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by:

$F=m\omega^2 r$
