Answer:

A) r = 20.0 m

B) T = 41.6 s

C) = 6.1 m/s²

Explanation:

A)

  • The centripetal acceleration is the one that explains that even though the cyclist is moving at a constant speed, his velocity is changing the direction all the time, keeping him around a circle.
  • This acceleration can be expressed as follows:

        a_{c} =\frac{v^{2}}{r} = \frac{(10.0m/s)^{2}}{r} = 5.00 m/s2  (1)

  • Solving for r:

       r = \frac{v^{2}}{a_{c} } = \frac{(10.0m/s)^{2}}{5.00m/s2} = 20.0 m  (2)

B)

  • We can apply the definition of linear velocity, remembering that the period is the time needed to complete an entire circle (T).
  • The arc around a circumference (the distance traveled) , is just 2*π*r, so applying the definition of linear velocity, we can write the following expression:

        v = \frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t} = \frac{2*\pi*r}{T} (3)

  • Solving  for T:

       T = \frac{\Delta s}{v} = \frac{2*\pi*r}{v} = \frac{2*\pi*265m}{40.0m/s} =41.6 s  (4)

C)

  • The centripetal acceleration of the car from B) can be found as follows:

        a_{c} =\frac{v^{2}}{r} = \frac{(40.0m/s)^{2}}{265m} = 6.1 m/s2   (5)

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

1.554\times 10^{32}\ \text{kg}

Explanation:

M = Mass of each star

T = Time period = 15.5 days

v = Orbital velocity = 230 km/s

G = Gravitational constant = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2

Radius of orbit is given by

R=\dfrac{vT}{2\pi}

We have the relation

\dfrac{Mv^2}{R}=\dfrac{GM^2}{(2R)^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{4Rv^2}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{4\dfrac{vT}{2\pi}v^2}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{2v^3T}{\pi G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{2\times 230000^3\times 15.5\times 24\times 60\times 60}{\pi\times 6.674\times 10^{-11}}\\\Rightarrow M=1.554\times 10^{32}\ \text{kg}

The mass of each star is 1.554\times 10^{32}\ \text{kg}

What is velocity ratio ?​
Rasek [7]

The ratio of the distance moved by the point at which the effort is applied in a simple machine to the distance moved by the point at which the load is applied, in the same time. In the case of an ideal (frictionless and weightless) machine, velocity ratio = mechanical advantage. Velocity ratio is sometimes called distance ratio.

3.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

1.84 kJ  (kilojoules)

Explanation:

A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.

If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:

Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)

Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C -  20° C)

[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]

Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ

[Note that the number is positive:  Energy is added to the system.  If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C).  The number is -1.84 kJ:  the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).
