Answer:

a' = 2a

Explanation:

The acceleration during this circular motion is the centripetal acceleration. Initially, the acceleration will be given as:

a = v²/r   --------------------- equation (1)

Where,

a = centripetal acceleration at outer edge

v = speed of merry go round = 5 m/s

r = distance from center of round to person (outer edge)

Now, when the person moves half way towards center. Then, the acceleration becomes:

a' = v²/r'

where,

r' = r/2

Therefore,

a' = v²/(r/2)

a' = 2v²/r

using equation (1):

<u>a' = 2a </u>

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 500m3/sat a location 90 m above the lake sur
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

power generated is 443.7 MW

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 3 m/s

rate = 500 m³/s

height h = 90 m

to find out

total mechanical energy and power generation potential

solution

we know that mechanical energy is sum of potential energy and kinetic energy

so

E = \frac{1}{2}×m×v² + m×g×h    .............1

and energy per mass unit is

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×v² + g×h

put here value

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×3² + 9.81×90

E/m = 887.4 J/kg

so mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

and

power generated is express as

power generated = energy per unit mass ×rate×density

power generated = 887.4× 500× 1000

power generated = 443700000

so power generated is 443.7 MW

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 49.0 cm . The explorer finds that
iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of  his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured  values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

A light wave travels through air at a speed of 3.0x108 m/s. Green light has a wavelength of about 5.76x1014Hz. What is the wavel
solong [7]

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming  5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = \frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}

The equatorial diameter of venus is 7,523 miles. if a mile equals 1.609 km, what is venus's diameter in kilometers?
polet [3.4K]

The diameter of venus in km is 12104.507Km.

<h3 /><h3>What is Unit conversion?</h3>

By definition, unit conversion refers to the division or multiplication operation used to convert measurements of the same quantity between various units. The act of converting something from one form to another in mathematics, such as from inches to millimetres or from litres to gallons, is known as conversion.

the diameter of venus = 7,523 miles

1 mile = 1.609 km

so,

diameter of venus = 7523 × 1.609 Km

= 12104.507Km
