Answer:

a=0.45\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a bend, r = 20 m

Velocity of motorcyclist, v = 3 m/s

The combined mass of motorcyclist and the motorcycle is 50 kg

We need to find the motorcyclist’s centripetal acceleration. The formula used to find the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(3)^2}{20}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the motorcyclist is 0.45\ m/s^2.

A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm
____ [38]

Answer:

53.13 °

Explanation:

In order to do this, we just need to apply the following:

tanα = Dy/Dx

Where:

Vy: speed of the ball in the y axis.

Vx: speed of the ball in the x axis.

At this point we do not need the speed of the first ball after the collision because in that moment is already heading in the direction that we are looking for. Therefore, we just need to use the innitial data to calculate the direction which the first ball will go.

According to this, then:

tanα = (40/30)

tanα = 1.3333

α = tan⁻¹(1.3333)

<h2>α = 53.13°</h2>

This means that the final direction of the first ball is 53.13° and in the x axis because the starting momentum of this ball in the x axis has not dissapeared.

Hope this helps

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved: Group of answer choices only when no external
uysha [10]

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system (absence of external force) is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

where;

P.E is potential energy

K.E is kinetic energy

Thus, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.
