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>

To determine the types of equipment your boat must carry, you need to make a measurement of the boat. What is this measurement?
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

In total, the length is measured from the tip of the bow in a linear fashion to the stern of the formation of delight including any back-deck extensions. The measurement involves bow sprits; rudders; detachable engines and engine sections; handles; and various fittings and connections.

Importance in calculating a boat's length:

it affects the transportation costs (the longer the length, the higher the cost).   The pontoon's length counts as you find out how much rope you need to wrestle.  

The cost of vessel settlement on marinas depends in part on the pontoon length. As more area is consumed by a more drawn pontoon, the docking charges are higher.  

Transportation guidelines will probably not allow pontoons past a specific length on specific occasions of the day.

A control clinic offers a program that guarantees a weight loss of up to 0.46 kg in one week. Express the weight loss in a ratio
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

0.76 mg/s

Explanation:

0.46 kg/week × (1 week / 7 days) × (1 day / 24 hrs) × (1 hr / 3600 s) × (1000 g/kg) × (1000 mg/g) = 0.76 mg/s

10. Calculate the kinetic energy of a running back that has a mass of 80 kg and
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2560 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object given it's mass and velocity can be found by using the formula

KE =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question

m = 80 kg

v = 8 m/s

The kinetic energy is

KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 80 \times  {8}^{2}  \\  = 40 \times 64

We have the final answer as

<h3>2560 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
