Answer:

$a=16\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Motion With Constant Acceleration

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The formula to calculate the change of velocities is:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where:

a = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf = final speed

t = time

The roller coaster moves from vo=6 m/s to vf=70 m/s in t=4 seconds. To calculate the acceleration, solve for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{70-6}{4}=\frac{64}{4}$

$\boxed{a=16\ m/s^2}$

You observe that a mass suspended by a spring takes 0.25 s to make a full oscillation. What is the frequency of this oscillation

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency, $\omega = 25.13 rad/s$

Given:

Time taken to make one oscillation, T = 0.25 s

Solution:

Frequency, f of oscillation is given as the reciprocal of time taken for one oscillation and is given by:

f = $\frac{1}{T}$

f = $\frac{1}{0.25}$

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

The period of oscillation can be defined as the time taken by the suspended mass for completion of one oscillation.

Therefore, time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency of oscillation is given by:

$\omega = 2\pi \times f$

$\omega = 2\pi \times 4$

$\omega = 25.13 rad/s$

Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a = 9.94 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

density at center= 1.6 x 10⁴ kg/m³

density at the surface = 2100 Kg/m³

volume mass density as function of distance

$\rho(r) = ar^2 - br^3$

r is the radius of the spherical shell

dr is the thickness

volume of shell

$dV = 4 \pi r^2 dr$

mass of shell

$dM = \rho(r)dV$

$\rho = \rho_0 - br$

now,

$dM = (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr$

integrating both side

$M = \int_0^{R} (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr$

$M = \dfrac{4\pi}{3}R^3\rho_0 - \pi R^4(\dfrac{\rho_0-\rho}{R})$

$M = \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)$

we know,

$a = \dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

$a = \dfrac{G( \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho))}{R^2}$

$a =\pi RG(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)$

$a =\pi (6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 6.38 \times 10^6)(\dfrac{1.60\times 10^4}{3}+2.1\times 10^3)$

a = 9.94 m/s²
