Answer:

The girl's centripetal acceleration is 3.92 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that,

Tangential speed = 2.8 m/s

Diameter = 4.0 m

We need to calculate the centripetal acceleration

Using formula of centripetal acceleration

\alpha=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

Where, v = tangential speed

r = radius

Put the value into the formula

\alpha=\dfrac{2.8^2}{2.0}

\alpha=3.92\ m/s^2

Hence, The girl's centripetal acceleration is 3.92 m/s².

Formula: Ca=Vt^2/r

centripetal acceleration(Ca)= ?
tangential speed(Vt)= 2.8m/s
Radius(r)=2m

Substitute: Ca=2.8^2/2
                  Ca=3.92m/s^2

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

3x10⁴v

Explanation:

Using

Wavelength= h/ √(2m.Ke)

880nm = 6.6E-34/√ 2.9.1E-31 x me

Ke= 6.6E-34/880nm x 18.2E -31.

5.6E-27/18.2E-31

= 3 x 10⁴ Volts

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and  principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.
