Answer:

5 .07 s .

Explanation:

The child will move on a circle of radius r

r = 1.5 m

Let the velocity of rotation = v

radial acceleration = v² / r

v² / r = 2.3

v² = 2.3 r = 2.3 x 1.5

= 3.45

v = 1.857 m /s

Time of revolution = 2π r / v

= 2 x 3.14 x 1.5 / 1.857

= 5 .07 s .

A plane is flying a circular path at a speed of 55.0 m/ s, with a radius of 18.3 m. The centripetal force needed to maintain thi
Nadusha1986 [10]

The plane has a centripetal acceleration <em>a</em> of

<em>a</em> = <em>v</em> ²/<em>r</em>

where <em>v</em> is the plane's tangential speed and <em>r</em> is the radius of the circle. By Newton's second law,

<em>F</em> = <em>mv</em> ²/<em>r</em>

Solve for the mass <em>m</em> :

<em>m</em> = <em>Fr</em>/<em>v</em> ² = (3000 N) (18.3 m) / (55.0 m/s)² ≈ 18.1 kg

What are the density, specific gravity and mass of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m * 6 m * 8 m at 100 kPa and 25 C.
Volgvan

Answer:

Density = 1.1839 kg/m³

Mass = 227.3088 kg

Specific Gravity = 0.00118746 kg/m³

Explanation:

Room dimensions are 4 m, 6 m & 8 m. Thus, volume = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192 m³

Now, from tables, density of air at 25°C is 1.1839 kg/m³

Now formula for density is;

ρ = mass(m)/volume(v)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

1.1839 = m/192

m = 227.3088 kg

Formula for specific gravity of air is;

S.G_air = density of air/density of water

From tables, density of water at 25°C is 997 kg/m³

S.G_air = 1.1839/997 = 0.00118746 kg/m³
