Answer:

12.25 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 1500 Kg

Radius (r) = 75 m

Centripetal acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

Centripetal acceleration (a) is related to the velocity (v) and radius (r) according to the following formula:

a = v²/r

Thus, we can obtained the velocity of the car by using the above formula as illustrated below:

Radius (r) = 75 m

Centripetal acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

a = v²/r

2 = v²/75

Cross multiply

v² = 2 × 75

v² = 150

Take the square root of both side.

v = √150

v = 12.25 m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 12.25 m/s.

Tema [17]
Newton's 2nd law of motion: 

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (mass):     

                             Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

                                               =  (100 N) / (50 kg)

                                               =  2 m/s²

An object that completes 20 vibrations in 10 seconds has a frequency of
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

<em> The object has frequency of 2 Hz and time period of 0.5 s.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Frequency</em> is defined as number of oscillation per second ie back and forth swings done in single second.

Here it is given that the object oscillates 20 times in 10 seconds.

So f = \frac{20}{10} = 2Hz

The <em>time period</em> is defined as time taken by the object to complete one full oscillation.

T = \frac{1}{f}

T= \frac{1}{2} =0.5 s

<em>Thus the object has frequency of 2 Hz and time period of 0.5 s.</em>

Suppose that you observe light emitted from a distant star to be at a wavelength of 525 nm. The wavelength of light to an observ
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of observer = 525 nm

Wave length of source = 950 nm

We need to calculate the velocity

If the direction is from observer to star.

From Doppler effect

\lambda_{0}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times\lambda_{s}

Put the value into the formula

525=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times950

\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=(\dfrac{525}{950})^2

\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=0.305

c+v=0.305\times(c-v)

v(1+0.305)=c(0.305-1)

v=\dfrac{0.305-1}{1+0.305}c

v=−0.532c

Negative sign shows the star is moving toward the observer.

Hence, The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.
