16 m/s2 is the answer

ale4655 [162]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

16 m/s^2

Explanation:

acceleration tangential = (v^2)/r

a=400/25

a=16 m/s^2

Side note: next time, be more specific when asking about acceleration in circular motion. There's more than one type! Example:

angular acceleration=acceleration tangential/r

angular acc.=16/25

angular acc.=0.64 rad/s^2

A Ca atom (atomic number = 20) is in the ground state. Light is shined on the atom, exciting the most energetic electron. Which

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The possible quantum numbers for Ca atom when it is in excited

n = 4

l= 1

m =-1,0,1

Explanation:

Given that,

Atomic number = 20

The configuration of Ca

$Ca = 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2$

So, The principle quantum number is n =4.

The azimuthal quantum number can take value from 0,1,2...(n-1)

In the ground state, l= 0

When it is excited to p state

Then, l = 1

The magnetic quantum number can take value from l to -l

$m=1,0,-1$

Hence, The possible quantum numbers for Ca atom when it is in excited

n = 4

l= 1

m =-1,0,1

Newton’s first law says that if motion changes, then a force is exerted. Describe a collision in terms of the forces exerted on

ira [324]

Answer:

In collision between equal-mass objects, each object experiences the same acceleration, because of equal force exerted on both objects.

Explanation:

In a collision two objects, there is a force exerted on both objects that causes an acceleration of both objects. These forces that act on both objects are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Thus, in collision between equal-mass objects, each object experiences the same acceleration, because of equal force exerted on both objects.

A mass of 1 slug is suspended from a spring whose spring constant is 9 lb/ft. The mass is initially released from a point 1 foot

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

t = 5π/18 + 2nπ/3 or π/6 + 2nπ/3 where n is a natural number

Explanation:

To solve the problem/ we first write the differential equation governing the motion. So,

$m\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2} } = -kx \\ m\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2} } + kx = 0\\\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2} } + \frac{k}{m} x = 0$

with m = 1 slug and k = 9 lb/ft, the equation becomes

$\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2} } + \frac{9}{1} x = 0\\\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2} } + 9 x = 0$

The characteristic equation is

D² + 9 = 0

D = ±√-9 = ±3i

The general solution of the above equation is thus

x(t) = c₁cos3t + c₂sin3t

Now, our initial conditions are

x(0) = -1 ft and x'(0) = -√3 ft/s

differentiating x(t), we have

x'(t) = -3c₁sin3t + 3c₂cos3t

So,

x(0) = c₁cos(3 × 0) + c₂sin(3 × 0)

x(0) = c₁cos(0) + c₂sin(0)

x(0) = c₁ × (1) + c₂ × 0

x(0) = c₁ + 0

x(0) = c₁ = -1

Also,

x'(0) = -3c₁sin(3 × 0) + 3c₂cos(3 × 0)

x'(0) = -3c₁sin(0) + 3c₂cos(0)

x'(0) = -3c₁ × 0 + 3c₂ × 1

x'(0) = 0 + 3c₂

x'(0) = 3c₂ = -√3

c₂ = -√3/3

So,

x(t) = -cos3t - (√3/3)sin3t

Now, we convert x(t) into the form x(t) = Asin(ωt + Φ)

where A = √c₁² + c₂² = √[(-1)² + (-√3/3)²] = √(1 + 1/3) = √4/3 = 2/√3 = 2√3/3 and Ф = tan⁻¹(c₁/c₂) = tan⁻¹(-1/-√3/3) = tan⁻¹(3/√3) = tan⁻¹(√3) = π/3.

Since tanФ > 0, Ф is in the third quadrant. So, Ф = π/3 + π = 4π/3

x(t) = (2√3/3)sin(3t + 4π/3)

So, the velocity v(t) = x'(t) = (2√3)cos(3t + 4π/3)

We now find the times when v(t) = 3 ft/s

So (2√3)cos(3t + 4π/3) = 3

cos(3t + 4π/3) = 3/2√3

cos(3t + 4π/3) = √3/2

(3t + 4π/3) = cos⁻¹(√3/2)

3t + 4π/3 = ±π/6 + 2kπ where k is an integer

3t = ±π/6 + 2kπ - 4π/3

t = ±π/18 + 2kπ/3 - 4π/9

t = π/18 + 2kπ/3 - 4π/9 or -π/18 + 2kπ/3 - 4π/9

t = π/18 - 4π/9 + 2kπ/3 or -π/18 - 4π/9 + 2kπ/3

t = -7π/18 + 2kπ/3 or -π/2 + 2kπ/3

Since t is not less than 0, the values of k ≤ 0 are not included

So when k = 1,

t = 5π/18 and π/6. So,

t = 5π/18 + 2nπ/3 or π/6 + 2nπ/3 where n is a natural number
