Answer: Last option
2.27 m/s2
Explanation:
As the runner is running at a constant speed then the only acceleration present in the movement is the centripetal acceleration.
If we call a_c to the centripetal acceleration then, by definition
in this case we know the speed of the runner
The radius "r" will be the distance from the runner to the center of the track
The answer is the last option
The statement “Impulse is a vector quantity” is true about Impulse.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation: </u>
The object’s action by applied force in a particular time interval, there happens changing in momentum called impulse. It is denoted by a symbol ‘J’ or ‘imp’ and expressed in a unit ‘Ns’. As impulse depends on the acted force, when a collision arises from front, behind or side, the force’s direction would be differed.
So, from this option A is false as impulse is not a force but changing momentum. The unit is not Newton, it is Newton second (Ns). The force direction differs (impulse direction) for each cases of collision, so option D also false. Hence, option B seems to be correct. Vector quantity deals with both direction and magnitude and important in motion study.
