Answer:

11789 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 1270 kg

Radius (r) = 15 m

Velocity (v) = 11.8 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

The centripetal force that acted on the car can be obtained by using the following formula:

F = mv²/r

Where:

F is the centripetal force.

m is the mass.

v is the velocity.

r is the radius.

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the centripetal force as follow:

Mass (m) = 1270 kg

Radius (r) = 15 m

Velocity (v) = 11.8 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

F = mv²/r

F = 1270 × 11.8² / 15

F = 1270 × 139.24 / 15

F = 176834.8 / 15

F = 11789 N

Therefore, the centripetal force that acted on the car is 11789 N

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

$p=m.v$

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

$\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}$

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

$\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s$

The velocity is directed to the south

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m

harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two poles are connected by a wire that is also connected to the ground. The first pole is 20ft tall and the second pole is 10ft

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 31.6ft

Explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|

that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft

According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2

10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2

100 + 900 = |AC|^2

|AC| = √1000

|AC| = 31.6ft

Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.
