Answer:

247.5 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The expression of centriputal force is given as

F = mv²/r..................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the runner, v = velocity of the runner, r = radius of the runner

Given: m = 55 kg, v = 9 m/s, r = 18 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 55(9²)/18

F = 247.5 N.

Hence the centriputal force of the runner is

247.5 N

In the graph above, how does the acceleration at A compare with the acceleration at B?

abruzzese [7]

This is a speed/time graph.
The slope of the graph at each point is the time rate of change of speed
at that point, and THAT's the definition of the magnitude of acceleration.

The slope of the curve is zero at both ' A ' and ' B ', so acceleration is
zero at both of those points.

That seems to be exactly what choice-c says.

Answer:

Explanation:

Rachel and Sarah are standing on horizontal ground . Let T₁ be the tension between Rachel and Sarah and Sarah is in between you.

Force = mass x acceleration

Apply this equation on Rachel

T₁ = 23 x 2 = 46 N

Let T₂ be tension between Sarah and me and it is inclined at 60°
