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

Sarah's mother gets a flat tire on her car while driving Sarah to school. They use a jack to change the tire. It exerts a force
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1250 J

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force causes an object to move over a distance. The amount of work done (W) is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance traveled.

That is;

W = F × d

Where;

W = work done (J or N/m)

F = force (N)

d = distance (m)

Based on the information provided in this question, F = 5000N, d = 0.25m

Hence;

W = F × d

W = 5000 × 0.25

W = 1250J

Therefore, 1250Joules of work is done by the jack.

Where does all of this energy come from
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: All of our energy comes from the sun, which is our nearest star. The sun sends out huge amounts of energy through its rays every day. We call this energy solar energy or radiant energy. Without the sun, life on earth would not exist, since our planet would be totally frozen.

What volume of lead must be fastened underneath it to sink the wood in calm water so that its top is just even with the water le
astraxan [27]
The bouyancy force is:  

Since the wood-lead system is completely submerged, the bouyancy force 

 is FB = ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb, where Ďw is the density of water,Vl 

 is the volume of 

 the piece of lead and Vb is the volume of the wooden block. The weight of the

  combined lead and wooden block is: W = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb. Since the system is 

 in equilibrium, the bouyancy force must be equal to the total weight: 

 ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb 

 now we can solve for the volume of lead: 

 ĎwgVl â’ ĎlgVl = ĎbgVb â’ ĎwgVb 

 Vl(Ďw â’ Ďl) = Vb(Ďb â’ Ďw) 

 Vl =   

 Ďbâ’Ďw 

 Ďwâ’Ďl   

 Vb 

 Now we substitute the values for the density of lead Ďl = 11.3 Ă— 103kg/m3  , 

 the density of the wood and the density of water Ďw = 1000kg/m3 

 . We get: 

 Vl =   

 600â’1000 

 1000â’11300 

 (0.6m Ă— 0.25m Ă— 0.08m) = 4.66 Ă— 10â’4m3
