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%

using hooke's law, f spring = k triangle x, find the elastic constant of a spring that stretches 2 cm when a 4 newton force is a
Ksivusya [100]

As we know that spring force is given as

F = kx

here we know that

F = 4 N

x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

now from the above equation we will have

4 = k(0.02)

k = 200 N/m

so the elastic constant of the spring will be 200 N/m

How is conduction affected by different factors​
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The process of heat conduction depends on four basic factors: the temperature gradient, the cross section of the materials involved, their path length, and the properties of those materials.
