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

Calculate the force that the 4kg block exerts on the 10kg block
Kryger [21]
Acceleration=force/mass=28/(10+4)=2m/s^2

force4kg=ma=(10*2)=20
the4 kg is pushing against the 10kg block

vf=vi+at
-10=20*28/14 * t
t=30/2=15sec

If the same fish is attached to the end of the unstretched spring and then allowed to fall from rest, through what maximum dista
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

x=2d

Explanation:

initial stretch in the spring is d

so using Hook's law

at equilibrium position

k×d=mg

where k= spring constant

m= mass of fish

g= acceleration due to gravity.

d=mg/k ................ (1)

in second case  by energy conservation

1/2 kx^2=mgx

x=2mg/k

using equation 1

x=2d

Help!!
scZoUnD [109]

If Fg=mg=ma and, Fg(planetX)=1/5Fg(earth)

then the time would be 5x of the time as gravity is acceleration. So 3.9s*5=19.5s

As the force of gravity is less, then the acceleration of masses is also less, therefore it will take more time for the object to fall by the factor of the force of gravity difference
