Answer:

The speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.

Explanation:

Given

The distance d = 88 km

Time t = 32 minutes

To determine

We need to find the speed of a cyclist.

In order to determine the speed of a cyclist, all we need to do is to divide the distance covered by a cyclist by the time taken to cover the distance.

Using the formula involving speed, time, and distance

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

where

s = speed

d = distance covered

t = time taken

substitute d = 88, and t = 32 in the formula

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

$s=\frac{88}{32}$

Cancel the common factor 8

$s=\frac{11}{4}$

$s=2.75$ km/min

Therefore, the speed of the cyclist is 2.75 km/min.

2. Consider a conical pendulum with a bob of mass m = 77.0 kg on a string of length L = 10.0 m that makes an angle of ???? 3.00°

bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of bob, m = 77 kg

Length of the string, L = 10 m

Angle made by the string with the vertical, $\theta=3^{\circ}$

(a) Let T is the force exerted by the string on the pendulum. At equilibrium,

$T\ cos\theta=mg$

$T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}$

$T=\dfrac{77\times 9.8}{cos(3)}$

T = 755.63 N

The horizontal component of the force is given by,

$T_H=T\ sin\theta$

$T_H=755.63\ sin(3)=39.54\ N$

The vertical component of the force is given by,

$T_V=T\ sin\theta=mg$

$T_V=754.59\ N$

(b) Let a is the radial acceleration of the bob. It can be calculated as :

$a=\dfrac{T_H}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{39.54\ N}{77\ kg}$

$a=0.51\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

To get a feeling for inertial forces discuss the familiar cases of accelerating in a car in a straight line while increasing or

inn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we accelerate in a car on a straight path we tend to lean backward because our lower body part which is directly in contact with the seat of the car gets accelerated along with it but the upper the upper body experiences this force later on due to its own inertia. This force is accordance with Newton's second law of motion and is proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the upper body part.

Conversely we lean forward while the speed decreases and the same phenomenon happens in the opposite direction.

While changing direction in car the upper body remains in its position due to inertia but the lower body being firmly in contact with the car gets along in the direction of the car, seems that it makes the upper body lean in the opposite direction of the turn.

On abrupt change in the state of motion the force experienced is also intense in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion.
