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.

Answer:

$F_0 = 393 N$

Explanation:

As we know that amplitude of forced oscillation is given as

$A = \frac{F_0}{ m(\omega^2 - \omega_0^2)}$

here we know that natural frequency of the oscillation is given as

$\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

here mass of the object is given as

$m = \frac{W}{g}$

$\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{220}{\frac{30}{9.81}}}$

$\omega_0 = 8.48 rad/s$

angular frequency of applied force is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(10.5) = 65.97 rad/s$

now we have

$0.03 = \frac{F_0}{3.06(65.97^2 - 8.48^2)}$

$F_0 = 393 N$

Alla [95]

Answer:

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = $v_{ox}$

Initial vertical velocity= $v_{oy}$ (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, $a_x$ = 0 m/s² [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, $a_y$ = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

$H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2$

$5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s$

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

$R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2$

$20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2$

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

Projectile Motion—A tennis ball is thrown out a window 28 m above the ground at an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s and 20.0° below

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The distance will be x = 41.7 [m]

Explanation:

We must first find the components in the x & y axes of the initial velocity.

$(v_{o})_{x} = 15*cos(20)= 14.09[m/s]\\(v_{o})_{y} = 15*sin(20)= 5.13[m/s]$

The acceleration is the gravity acceleration therefore.

g = 9.81 [m/s^2]

Now we can calculate how long it takes to fall.

$y=(v_{o})_{y}*t-0.5*g*t^2\\-28 = 5.13*t-0.5*9.81*t^2\\-28=-4.905*t^2+5.13*t\\4.905*t^2-5.13*t=28\\t = 2.96[s]$

With this time we can find the horizontal distance that runs the projectile.

$x=(v_{o})_{x}*t\\x=14.09*2.96\\x=41.7[m]$

Human dignity and worth and social justice are

LuckyWell [14K]

Human dignity and worth and social justice are TWO OF THE BASIC VALUES OF THE CODE OF ETHICS FOR SOCIAL WORK.

Social workers are those professionals, who promote social change by helping to relieve hardship and suffering. Social work is committed to five basic values, which are:

1. Human dignity and worth

2. Social justice

3. Service to humanity

4. Integrity

5. Competence.

The human dignity and self worth value holds that all human beings have intrinsic value, right to well being, right to self fulfillment and control over their own lives.

The social justice value states that there should be fair and equitable distribution of resources to meet basic human needs and all citizens should have access to public resources in order to achieve full potential.
