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

Because the temperature remains constant, we can apply Boyle's Law which states that 
pV = constant
where
p = pressure
V = volume

Define the two states of the gas.

State 1
Pressure = p₁
Volume = 1000 ml

State 2
Pressure = p₂
Volume = 500 ml

Apply Boyle's law.
1000p₁ = 500p₂
2 = p₂/p₁

By halving the volume, the pressure doubles.

Answer:
The pressure increases by a factor of 2.

A mass on a horizontal surface is connected to the spring and pulled to the right along the surface stretching the spring by 25
solniwko [45]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

k=\frac {F}{x}

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m

Rasek [7]

Answer:

0.65  kg*m/s and 0.165 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 0.5kg

initial velolcity u=1.3m/s

final velocity v= 0.97m/s

Required

The change in momentum

Step two:

We know that the expression for impulse is given as

Ft= mv

Ft= 0.5*1.3

Ft= 0.65  kg*m/s

The expression for the change in momentum is given as

P= mΔv

substitute

Pt= 0.5*(1.3-0.97)

Pt= 0.5*0.33

Pt=0.165 kg*m/s

15. Some people have observed that animal behavior changes just before an earthquake. What might explain this?
Ber [7]

Answer:

15: Animals are able to detect the first of an earthquake's seismic waves—the P-wave, or pressure wave, that arrives in advance of the S-wave, or secondary, shaking wave. This likely explains why animals have been seen snapping to attention, acting confused or running right before the ground starts to shake.

16: No, it is not even remotely true. Microwaves cook food from the outside in, just like a regular oven. In fact, most of the cooking on the inside of the food, depending on its thickness, is done by heat conduction from the outside surfaces inwards, as the microwaves do not actually penetrate that far into the food.
