Answer:
250N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Time = 4s
Momentum = 1000kgm/s
Unknown:
Force = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion;
Ft = Momentum
F is the force
t is the time
So;
F x 4 = 1000kgm/s
F = 250N
The centripetal acceleration a is 4.32
10^-4 m/s^2.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The speed is constant and computing the speed from the distance and time for one full lap.
Given, distance = 400 mm = 0.4 m, Time = 100 s.
Computing the v = 0.4 m / 100 s
v = 4
10^-3 m/s.
radius of the circular end r = 37 mm = 0.037 m.
centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / r
= (4
10^-3)^2 / 0.037
a = 4.32
10^-4 m/s^2.
