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.

Why is conserving energy resources not a simple problem with a simple solution?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Because the uncontrolled and unreasonable use of energy resources in the past few decades has led to the depletion of conventional type of resources. Although, measures are taken at the government levels to control the energy consumption, these attempts only meet with little success. Public awareness is the only way to successfully deal with this problem.

How do you calculate the net force when there are multiple forces in different directions?​
Artyom0805 [142]

To find F_{net} we need to use vector addition and use the x and y components. First we subtract vector 2 from vector 5 which results in a vector with a  length of 3 pointing directly east, then we use the distance formula to find the length of the net force F_{net} = \sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2} \\  which gives F_{net} = 5. We now have a magnitude but we also need a direction, since vector 4 and vector 5 are perpendicular. Using \theta = \tan^{-1} (\frac{4}{3})   where tan^-1(y/x) we get an angle of 53 degrees. The resultant force vector is 5 distance with an angle of 53 degrees north east.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

when he uses more force to hit the drum then its makes a louder sound so the more force you hit the drum with then the louder it is.
