The diagram shows the top view of a 65-kg student at point A on an amusement park ride. The ride spins the student in a horizont

al circle with a radius of 2.5 m, at a constant speed of 8.6 m/s. The floor is lowered and the student remains against the wall without falling to the floor.
The magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the student at point A is approximately

Answer:

1923 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 65 Kg

Radius (r) = 2.5 m

Velocity (v) = 8.6 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

The centripetal force, F, can be obtained by using the following formula:

F = mv²/r

F = 65 × 8.6² / 2.5

F = 65 × 73.96 / 2.5

F = 4807.4 / 2.5

F = 1922.96 ≈ 1923 N

Thus, the magnitude of the centripetal's force acting on the student is approximately 1923 N

If the baseball and the plastic ball were moving at the same speed which ball would hit a bat harder

Lerok [7]

A baseball would hit the bat harder. This is because the baseball is a lot heavier and more dense than the plastic ball. The keyword that you're looking for is density. The baseball is dense.

A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 103 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s alo

Serggg [28]

Before the engines fail $(0\le t\le3.00\,\rm s)$ , the rocket's horizontal and vertical position in the air are

$x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t^2$

$y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t^2$

and its velocity vector has components

$v_x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t$

$v_y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t$

After $t=3.00\,\rm s$ , its position is

$x=273\,\rm m$

$y=362\,\rm m$

and the rocket's velocity vector has horizontal and vertical components

$v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

After the engine failure $(t>3.00\,\rm s)$ , the rocket is in freefall and its position is given by

$x=273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t$

$y=362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

and its velocity vector's components are

$v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt$

where we take $g=9.80\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

a. The maximum altitude occurs at the point during which $v_y=0$ :

$159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt=0\implies t=16.2\,\rm s$

At this point, the rocket has an altitude of

$362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(16.2\,\rm s)-\dfrac g2(16.2\,\rm s)^2=1650\,\rm m$

b. The rocket will eventually fall to the ground at some point after its engines fail. We solve $y=0$ for $t$ , then add 3 seconds to this time:

$362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=34.6\,\rm s$

So the rocket stays in the air for a total of $37.6\,\rm s$ .

c. After the engine failure, the rocket traveled for about 34.6 seconds, so we evalute $x$ for this time $t$ :

$273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(34.6\,\rm s)=4410\,\rm m$

When an alkali metal is involved in a chemical reaction with a nonmetal, what charge will its atoms most likely form? 1- 2- 2+ 1

seraphim [82]

Answer:

+1 ion

Explanation:

Alkali metals are metals that are found in Group I of the periodic table. Their electronic configuration is such that their valence shell in grounds state is always holding only one electron which they always lose when reacting with non-metals. A loss in an electron makes the atom electrically imbalanced and hence becoming a +1 ion.
