Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming the squirrel is jumping off the ground, here's what we know but don't really know...

v₀ = 4.0 at 50.0°

So that's not really the velocity we are looking for. We are dealing with a max height problem, which is a y-dimension thing. Therefore, we need the squirrel's upward velocity, which is NOT 4.0 m/s. We find it in the following way:

v_{0y}=4.0sin(50.0) which gives us that the upward velocity is

v₀ = 3.1 m/s

Moving on here's what we also know:

a = -9.8 m/s/s and

v = 0

Remember that at the very top of the parabolic path, the final velocity is 0. In order to find the max height of the squirrel, we need to know how long it took him to get there. We are using 2 of our 3 one-dimensional equations in this problem. To find time:

v = v₀ + at and filling in:

0 = 3.1 - 9.8t and

-3.1 = -9.8t so

t = .32 seconds.

Now that we know how long it took him to get to the max height, we use that in our next one-dimensional equation:

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in:

Δx = 3.1(.32)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(.32)^2 and using the rules for adding and subtracting sig fig's correctly, we can begin to simplify this:

Δx = .99 - .50 so

Δx = .49 meters

A car moves in a circular motion and it is subject to a centripetal acceleration of 24 m/s2. If the radius of the circular path
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_{c} = v^{2}/r

Thus, centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius. Thus, when radius will double, the centripetal acceleration will be halved.

The diagram shows a position-time graph What is the displacement of the object
algol13

The object is moving, so at different times, it has different displacement.  I'm guessing that you probably want to know the displacement at the end of the time on the graph ... 5 seconds.

Displacement is the distance and the direction FROM (the position at the  beginning) TO (the position at the end).

At the beginning ... time=0 ... the position is 1 meter.

At the end ... time=5 ... the position is zero.

The distance FROM the beginning TO the end is (zero - 1m) .  That's  <em>-1m </em>.

The Coriolis effect
alexandr402 [8]
The coriolis effect is due to the rotation of the earth. Look up youtube videos on it, its pretty cool. If we didn't have coriolis effect then hurricane's wouldn't even form! Also it affects the trajectory of hurricanes. If you look at a path a hurricane takes it always curves quite a bit. That's also because of the coriolis affect. Imagine you're on a merry go round or on some spinning disk. You throw a ball towards the center. The ball will seem to curve away from your target because you're spinning. Now its not because the ball curved and you missed, the ball goes in a straight line but because of the spinning the target you aimed at shifted.
