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

A 65.0-kg woman steps off a 10.0-m diving platform and drops straight down into the water. 1) If she reaches a depth of 3.20 m,
timurjin [86]

Answer:

F=2627.6N

Explanation:

The work done by this resistive force while traveling a distance <em>d</em> underwater would be:

W=F.d=-Fd

where the minus sign appears because the force is upwards and the displacement downwards.

This work is equal to the change of mechanical energy. At the diving plataform and underwater, when she stops moving, the woman has no kinetic energy, so all can be written in terms of her total change of gravitational potential energy:

W=\Delta E=U_f-U_i=mgh_f-mgh_i=mg(h_f-h_i)

Putting all together:

F=-\frac{W}{d}=-\frac{mg(h_f-h_i)}{d}=-\frac{(65kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-3.2m-10m)}{3.2m}=2627.6N

A constant force of 11.8 N in the positive x direction acts on a 4.7-kg object as it moves from the origin to the point (1.6i –
zhenek [66]

Answer:

W = 18.88 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Constant force, F = 11.8 N (in +x direction)

Mass of an object, m = 4.7 kg

The object moves from the origin to the point (1.6i – 4.6j) m

We need to find the work is done by the given force during this displacement. The work done by an object is given by the formula as follows :

W=F{\cdot} d\\\\W=(11.8i){\cdot} (1.6i-4.6j)\\\\=11.8\times 1.6\\\\=18.88\ J

So, the work done by the given force is 18.88 J.

A student pushes a 0.2 kg box against a spring causing the spring to compress 0.15 m. When the spring is released, it will launc
german

Answer:

The maximum height the box will reach is 1.72 m

Explanation:

F = k·x

Where

F = Force of the spring

k = The spring constant = 300 N/m

x  = Spring compression or stretch = 0.15 m

Therefore the force, F of the spring = 300 N/m×0.15 m = 45 N

Mass of box = 0.2 kg

Work, W, done by the spring = \frac{1}{2} kx^2 and the kinetic energy gained by the box is given by KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Since work done by the spring = kinetic energy gained by the box we have

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2} kx^2  therefore we have v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} } = x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } = 0.15\sqrt{\frac{300}{0.2} } = 5.81 m/s

Therefore the maximum height is given by

v² = 2·g·h or h = \frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{5.81^{2} }{2*9.81} = 1.72 m
