The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

The given parameters:

<em>maximum mass the string can support before breaking, m = 17.9 kg</em>
<em>radius of the circle, r = 0.525 m</em>

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is calculated as follows;

$T = ma_c\\\\Mg = \frac{Mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = rg\\\\v = \sqrt{rg} \\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{0.525 \times 9.8} \\\\v_{max} = 2.27 \ m/s$

Thus, the maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

C.

Newton’s Second Law is F=ma (force is equal to the mass multiplied by acceleration), however, the equation can be rearranged to isolate and calculate mass from force over acceleration. Therefore, m=F/a

Measurements of acceleration are given in units of ?

Lady_Fox [76]

Meters per second squared: $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

If you think about it, acceleration is about how fast speed changes. Speed is measured in meters per second: $\frac{m}{s}$

So if you take that and just measure it over time, you get meters per second squared.

Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.50 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.45 km to

timama [110]

Answer:

3.486 km

Explanation:

Suppose Joe and Max's directions are perfectly perpendicular (east vs north). We can calculate their distance at the destinations using Pythagorean theorem:

$s = \sqrt{J^2 + M^2}$
