Answer:

B) 2g

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Velocity, v = 14m/s

Radius, r = 10m

To find the centripetal acceleration;

Acceleration, a = \frac {v^{2}}{r}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Acceleration, a = \frac {14^{2}}{10}

Acceleration, a = \frac {196}{10}

Acceleration, a = 19.6m/s²

In terms of acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8m/s²

We would divide by g;

Acceleration, a = 19.6/9.8 = 2

Hence, centripetal acceleration = 2g

Therefore, the rider's centripetal acceleration in terms of g, the acceleration due to gravity is 2g.

Given the velocity v= ds dt and the initial position of a body moving along a coordinate line, find the body's position at time
kolezko [41]

For  the​ body's position at time t  is mathematically given as

s(t)=4.9t^2+5t+16

<h3>What is the​ body's position at time t</h3>

Generally, the equation for the velocity is mathematically given as

v=ds/dt

v=9.8t+5 as velocity

s=4.9t^2+5t+c

s(0)=16

16=c

s(t)=4.9t^2+5t+16

In conclusion the​ body's position at time t

s(t)=4.9t^2+5t+16

A 2.5 g bullet traveling at 350 m/s hits a tree and slows uniformly to a stop while penetrating a distance of 12 cm into the tre
Cloud [144]

Answer: Work done = 153.125Joules, Work done = 0.003Nm

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.

Mathematically,

K.E = 1/2MV²

Where;

M = mass of the body = 2.5g = 0.0025kg

V = velocity of the body = 350m/s

Substituting this values in the formula, we have;

K.E = 1/2× 0.0025×350²

K.E = 153.125Joules

Work done is the force applied to body to cause it to move through a distance.

Work = Force × distance

Force = ma = 0.0025 × 10

Force = 0.025N

Distance = 12cm = 0.12m

Work = 0.025×0.12

Work = 0.003Nm

work done by the tree in stopping the bullet is 0.003N

The particles ejected from the sun during a coronal mass ejection is called
ipn [44]

Answer:

Plasma

Explanation:

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is an outburst of energy that occurs near the outer part of the sun's atmosphere which causes a production of plasma along with a magnetic field.

The outermost part of the sun's atmosphere is called the Solar Corona Although difficult to see, the corona can be seen during a total solar eclipse.

Plasma from CME are clouds of magnetized electrically charged particles which the solar wind causes to travel at a speed of 1.6 million km/hr.
