Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45m diameter

semicircles. A greyhound can run around these turns at a constant speed of 16m/s .part a: What is its acceleration in m/s2?partb: What is its acceleration in units of g ?

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to centripetal acceleration. Normal acceleration or centripetal acceleration is responsible for changing the direction of the velocity vector. It is the only type of acceleration present in the uniform circular motion. Its mathematical formula is given by

a = \frac{v^2}{r }

Here,

v = Tangential velocity

r = Radius

Our values are,

v = 16m/s

r = \frac{45m}{2} = 22.5

PART A) Using the previous expression the acceleration will be

a= \frac{16^2}{22.5 }

a= 11.37 m/s^2

PART B) In the case of g units, we know that

9.8m/s^2 = 1g

Then performing the conversion we have to

a = 11.37m/s^2(\frac{1g}{9.8m/s^2})

a = 1.16g

Explains this: a light source can emit more than one type of light
Radda [10]

Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum comprise a lot of waves length. Usually, different waves length are called as different lights, and a light source can emit in more than a different wave length, as the sun does, for example. The sun emit the visible light, UV light, infrared, etc.

Recall specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg/C. Find the specific heat of sample.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Shown by explanation;

Explanation:

The heat of the sample = mass ×specific heat capacity of the sample × temperature change(∆T)

Assumption;I assume the mass of the samples are : 109g and 192g

∆T= 30.1-21=8.9°c.

The heat of the samples are for 109g are:

0.109 × 4186 × 8.9 =4060.84J

For 0.192g are;

∆T= 67-30.1-=36.9°c

0.192 × 4186×36.9=29656.97J

What type of force is needed to accelerate an object?<br> What direction will the object accelerate?
Kay [80]
That just depends on the mass of the object and I think it will accelerate forwards
