8 0

mass (m) = 8kg
velocity (v) = 3 m/s²

Ke = ½mv²

ke = ½ mv²
½ × 8 × 3²
½ × 24²
12

In a vertical dive, a peregrine falcon can accelerate at 0.6 times the free-fall acceleration g (that is, at 0.6 g ) in reaching

anyanavicka [17]

The radius R of the turn is 1.984 km.

Explanation:

As the falcon is experiencing a centripetal motion, the acceleration exhibited by the falcon will be centripetal acceleration. The formula for centripetal acceleration is

$a=\frac{v^{2} }{R}$

Here a is the acceleration for centripetal motion, v is the velocity and R is the radius of the circular path.

As the centripetal acceleration is given as 0.6 g, the velocity is given as 108 m/s, then the radius of the path can be determined as

$0.6 \times 9.8=\frac{(108)^{2}}{R}$

$R=\frac{(108)^{2}}{0.6 \times 9.8}=\frac{11664}{5.88}=1983.67\ \mathrm{m}$

So, the radius of the turn is 1.984 km.

i need the answer asap plz A child rides her bike at a rate of 12.0 km/hr down the street. A squirrel suddenly runs in front of

Kruka [31]

-16 km/hr/sec because she slows down 4 km/hr (12 - 8) in 0.25 seconds. in one second (0.25 sec * 4) she would slow down by 16 km/hr (4 * 4). it’s negative acceleration because she’s slowing down
