The calculation of the centripetal acceleration of an object following a circular path is based on the equation,
a = v² / r
where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.
Substituting the known values from the given above,
4.4 m/s² = (15 m/s)² / r
The value of r from the equation is 51.14 m.
Answer: 51.14 m
Answer: Air resistance and/or drag.
Explanation: The parachute adds drag to the parachutist, thus making him fall slower and safely to the ground.
Answer:
if you stretch a spring with k = 2, with a force of 4N, the extension will be 2m. the work done by us here is 4x2=8J. in other words, the energy transferred to the spring is 8J. but, the stored energy in the spring equals 1/2x2x2^2=4J (which is half of the work done by us in stretching it).
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The water collects in the ocean; it is then evaporated by the sun. After evaporation the water turns into water vapor, it then condenses to form clouds.
