Complete Question:

A purse at radius 2.00 m and a wallet at radius 3.00 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the ride turns.

They are on the same radial line. At one instant, the acceleration of the purse is (2.00 m/s2 ) i + (4.00 m/s2 ) j .At that instant and in unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of the wallet

Answer:

aw = 3 i + 6 j m/s2

Explanation:

  • Since both objects travel in uniform circular motion, the only acceleration that they suffer is the centripetal one, that keeps them rotating.
  • It can be showed that the centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to the square of the angular velocity, as follows:

       a_{c} = \omega^{2} * r (1)

  • Since both objects are located on the same radial line, and they travel in uniform circular motion, by definition of angular velocity, both have the same angular velocity ω.

       ∴ ωp = ωw (2)

           ⇒ a_{p} = \omega_{p} ^{2} * r_{p} (3)

               a_{w} = \omega_{w}^{2} * r_{w} (4)

  • Dividing (4) by (3), from (2), we have:

        \frac{a_{w} }{a_{p}} = \frac{r_{w} }{r_{p}}

  • Solving for aw, we get:

        a_{w} = a_{p} *\frac{r_{w} }{r_{p} } = (2.0 i + 4.0 j) m/s2 * 1.5 = 3 i +6j m/s2

Find the range of a projectile launched at an angle of 30° with an initial velocity of 20m/s.​
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

<em>The range is 35.35 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

It's the type of motion that experiences an object projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.

Being vo the initial speed of the object, θ the initial launch angle, and g=9.8m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity, then the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object (also called Range) is:

\displaystyle d={\frac  {v_o^{2}\sin(2\theta )}{g}}

The projectile was launched at an angle of θ=30° with an initial speed vo=20 m/s. Calculating the range:

\displaystyle d={\frac  {20^{2}\sin(2\cdot 30^\circ )}{9.8}}

\displaystyle d={\frac  {400\sin(60^\circ )}{9.8}}

d=35.35\ m

The range is 35.35 m

ANSWER PLS NEED ASAP AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Should be B

Explanation:

As the light enters the prism at an angle, the glass causes the light to travel slower. The speed is affected by the frequency of the light. So each frequency is slowed by a different amount, causing the colors to separate.

Hope this helps!

A psychopathologist records the number of criminal offenses among teenage drug users in a nationwide sample of 1,201 participant
lara [203]

Answer:

Standard deviation = 3

Explanation:

Given

N = 1201

SS = 10800

Required

Determine the standard deviation

First, we need to determine the variance;

Variance = \frac{SS}{N - 1}

This gives:

Variance = \frac{10800}{1201 - 1}

Variance = \frac{10800}{1200}

Variance = 9

Know that:

Variance = SD^2

Where SD represents standard deviation

This gives

9 = SD^2

Take square root

SD = \sqrt 9

SD = 3
