An Olympic discus thrower (~100 kg) launches the 2.0 kg discus by spinning rapidly (~4 times per second) with arm outstretched (

~1.0 meter) just before releasing it. a. How much centripetal force must the athlete provide to keep the discus traveling in a circular path?

Answer:

F = 1263.03 N

Explanation:s

given,                      

mass of the disk thrower = 100 Kg

mass of the disk = 2 Kg                

angular speed of the disk  = 4 rev/s

arm outstretched = 1 m                  

centripetal force of the disk in the circular path

F = m ω² r                        

ω = 4 x 2 x π        

ω = 25.13 rad/s

F = m ω² r                      

F = 2 x 25.13² x 1

F = 1263.03 N                                              

hence, centripetal force equal to the F = 1263.03 N

A 4 kilogram box is at rest on a frictionless floor. A net force of 12 newtons acts on it. What is the acceleration of the box?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

<h2>3 m/s^2</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

Mass m= 4kg

Force F= 12N

Required

Acceleration the relation between force, acceleration, and mass is Newton's first equation of motion, which says a body will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force

F=ma

a=F/m

a=12/4

a=3 m/s^2

A pendulum makes 60 vibrations in 15 secs what’s its frequency
o-na [289]

Answer:

4 hertz

Explanation:

The defination of freqyency = the total no of cycle made by a wave in one second .

so,

cycle or vibrations=60

tame taken = 15

now,

frequency = no. of cycle / time taken

= 60/15

=4 hertz

hence, the its frequency = 4hertz

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider
julia-pushkina [17]

There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude.  This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.
