A runner taking part in the 200-m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of

29.5 m. The runner starts the race at a constant speed. If she completes the 200-m dash in 24.4 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race, what is her centripetal acceleration as she runs the curved portion of the track

Answer: 2.27\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Length of the race track L=200\ m

the radius of curvature of the track r=29.5\ m

time taken to run on track is t=24.4\ s

Speed of runner is

\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{L}{t}=\dfrac{200}{24.4}\\\\\Rightarrow v=8.196\ m/s

Centripetal acceleration is

\Rightarrow a_c=\dfrac{v^2}{r}=\dfrac{8.196^2}{29.5}\\\\\Rightarrow a_c=2.27\ m/s^2

inn [45]

Answer:

r = 0.86

Explanation:

Correlation coefficients are the strength of the relationship between two variables.

Correlations can indicate anywhere between

  • 1 - for a strong positive relationship.
  • -1 - for a strong negative relationship.
  • 0 - for no relationship at all.

Looking at sample correlation coefficient formula which says

r_{xy} = S_{xy} ÷ (S_{x} × S_{y})

where S_{x} and S_{y} are the sample deviations and S_{xy} is the sample covariance, all of which will remain the same for Maria and John.

Hence, John's correlation will be approximately 0.86 since he would have approximately the same measurement as Maria's measurement when Maria's measurement is converted from centimeters to inches.

Mary has a mass of 40 kg and sprints at 1 m/s. How much kinetic energy does she have?
Sav [38]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as half of the product of mass and the square of velocity of an object:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m = mass = 40 kg

v = velocity = 1 m/s

Hence, Mary's kinetic energy is:

KE = \frac{1}{2} * 40 * 1^2

KE = 20 * 1 = 20 J

She has a kinetic energy of 20 J.

A ball is thrown off the top of a building and lands on the ground below.
natita [175]

Answer:

Mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:

K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

where m is the mass of the object, and v is its velocity at a given point in time.

So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:

  • mass of the ball
  • velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball  before touching the gound can be determined.

4. Identify Problems A student is describing a longitudinal wave in his notebook. He
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

 "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

Explanation:

If he writes down "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

That means he is describing the wavelength of a wave and not longitudinal wave. He ought to write something about " direction "

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or parallel to, the direction of propagation of the wave. While

Wavelength is the distance between the two successfully Crest or trough
