An airplane travels 80 m/s as it makes a horizontal circular turn which has a 0.80-km radius. What is the magnitude of the resul

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: 600N

Explanation:

Centripetal force is the force that causes a body to move in a circular path.

Centripetal force = MV²/r

M = 75kg v = 80m/s r = 0.80km = 800m

Substituting the values given in the formula;

F = 75 × 80²/800

F = 600N

The magnitude of the resultant force on the 75kg pilot is 600N.

What invisible force will cause you to fall to the earth if you fall off your bed?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The answer to this is falling all the way through the Earth is impossible, since its core is molten. ... As you approached the center of the earth the pull of gravity would decline and eventually (at the center) cease, but inertia would keep you going.

A rock of mass m is thrown straight up into the air with initial speed |v0 | and initial position y = 0 and it rises up to a max

REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Case 1:

mass = m

initial velocity = vo

final velocity = 0

height = y

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² - 2as

0 = vo² - 2 g y

y = vo² / 2g ... (1)

Case 2:

mass = 2m

initial velocity = 2vo

final velocity = 0

height = y '

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 4vo² - 2 g y'

y ' = 4vo² / 2g

y' = 4 y

Thus, the second rock reaches the 4 times the distance traveled by the first rock.

A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. you have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizo

zhenek [66]

Answer:

The pitching speed of your friend is 33.20 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

Your friend throw the ball horizontally that means the vertical initial

component of velocity is zero ( $u_{y}=0$ ).

The ball is thrown from a height 4 meters above the ground.

The height $h=u_{y}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

<u><em>Remember:</em></u> the height is negative value because its below the point of

thrown (initial position)

h = -4 m , $u_{y}=0$ and g = -9.8 m/s²(downward)

<em>Substitute these values in the rule above</em>

⇒ $4=0-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}$

⇒ -4 = -4.9t² (multiply both sides by -1)

⇒ 4 = 4.9t² (divide both sides by 4.9)

⇒ 0.81633 = t² (take √ for both sides)

⇒ <em>t = 0.9035</em>

Then the time of the ball to land on the ground is 0.9035 seconds

The range of the ball on the ground is 30 m

The range $R=u_{x}*t$ , where $u_{x}$ is the horizontal

component of the initial velocity

R = 30 meters and t = 0.9035

⇒ $30=u_{x}(0.9035)$ (divide both sides by 0.9035)

⇒ $u_{x}=33.20$ m/s

<em>The pitching speed of your friend is 33.20 m/s </em>
