Answer:

G M m / R^2 = m v^2 / R gravitational force = centripetal force

G M = v^2 R = constant

As v increases R will must decrease

Take the moon as an example

S = 2 pi R where R is about 240,000 miles for one orbit

S / 1 day = 54,000 miles/day for a 28 day circuit

S / 1 hr = 54000 / 24 = 2200 mph which is much less than a satellite in orbit

A ball that has a mass of 0.25 kg spins in a circle at the end of a 1.6 m rope. the ball moves at a tangential speed of 12.2 m/s

NARA [144]

The centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.The direction of the centripetal force is always in the path of the center of the course.

<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>

The force needed to move a body in a curved way is understood as centripetal force. This is a force that can be sensed from both the fixed frame and the spinning body's frame of concern.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass of A ball = 0.25 kg

r is the radius of circle= 1.6 m rope

v is the tangential speed = 12.2 m/s

$\rm F_C$ is the centripetal force acting on the ball

The centripetal force is found as;

$\rm F_C = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\ F_C = \frac{0.25 \times (12.2)^2}{1.6} \\\\ F_C=23.26\ N$

Hence the centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.

Determine the density of a rectangular piece of concrete that measures 3.7 cm by 2.1 cm by 5.8 cm and has a mass of 43.8 grams.

Novay_Z [31]

It is customary to work in SI units.

Calculate the volume of the concrete.
V = 3.7*2.1*5.8 cm³ = 45.066 cm³ = 45.066 x 10 ⁻⁶ m³

The mass is 43.8 g = 43.8 x 10⁻³ kg

The density is mass/volume.
Density = (43.8 x 10⁻³ kg)/(45.066 x 10⁻⁶ m³) = 971.9 kg/m³

Answer: 971.9 kg/m³

The drag on a pitched baseball can be surprisingly large. Suppose a 145 g baseball with a diameter of 7.4 cm has an initial spee

kupik [55]

Answer:

<h2>Part A)</h2><h2>Acceleration of the ball is 10.1 m/s/s</h2><h2>Part B)</h2><h2>the final speed of the ball is given as</h2><h2> $v_f = 35.3 m/s$ </h2>

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that drag force is given as

$F = \frac{C_d \rho A v^2}{2}$
