Explanation:
The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2). Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.
First, we need to find the radius of curvature. This is given by the equation:
R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|
y' = 2x and y" = 2:
R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|
R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2
At x = √2:
R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2
R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2
R = 27 / 2
R = 13.5
So the centripetal force is:
F = m v² / r
F = m (5)² / 13.5
F = 1.85 m
Answer:
A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.
B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane
Explanation:
Let us work with variables and set
As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.
Part A:
From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:
Now the force of friction is 
where 
is the normal force and from the diagram it is 
Thus 
Therefore,
Substituting the value for 
we get:
Now acceleration is simply
The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.
Part B:
Which can be rearranged to solve for t:
Substitute the value of 
and 
and we get:
which is our answer.
Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of 
, because for this formula absolute value is needed.
Answer:
Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h
Explanation:
Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km
Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h
Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h
Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours
As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:
Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km
It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours
Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours
Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h
Answer:
5730 years
Explanation:
The half life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. If 50% of the carbon-14 remains, then exactly 1 half life has passed.
The half-life equation is:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the remaining amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is time,
and T is the half life.
In this case, A = ½ A₀ and T = 5730.
½ A₀ = A₀ (½)^(t / 5730)
½ = (½)^(t / 5730)
1 = t / 5730
t = 5730
Particles begin to move out of their ordered arrangement due to energy. They are unable to escape because of external pressure pushing down on the liquid.
