The California sea lion is capable of making extremely fast, tight turns while swimming underwater. In one study, scientists obs

erved a sea lion making a circular turn with a radius of 0.37 m while swimming at 4.0 m/s.
What is the sea lion's centripetal acceleration, in units of g?

What percentage is this acceleration of that of an F-15 fighter jet's maximum centripetal acceleration of 9g?

Answer:

Acceleration of Sea Lion is 4.41 g

This is 49% of maximum jet acceleration given as a = 9g

Explanation:

As we know that the radius of the circular loop is given as

R = 0.37 m

The speed of the fish is given as

v = 4 m/s

Now the centripetal acceleration of the sea lion is given as

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

a_c = \frac{4^2}{0.37}

a_c = 43.2 m/s^2

as we know that

g = 9.8 m/s^2

so we have

a = 4.41 g

Now Percentage of this acceleration wrt maximum jet acceleration is given as

P = \frac{4.41 g}{9g} \times 100

P = 49%

How much energy (in Joules) is released when 12.0 g of water cools from 20.0 °C to 11.0 °C? This is a grade 10 question from the
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: - 452.088joule

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of water = 12g

Change in temperature(Dt) = (11 - 20)°C = - 9°C

Specific heats capacity of water(c) = 4.186j/g°C

Q = mcDt

Where Q = quantity of heat

Q = 12g × 4.186j/g°C × - 9°C

Q = - 452.088joule
