8 0

Explanation:

We need to calculate the centripetal force:

Fc = W + F

With Fc being the centripetal force, W the weight of the boy, F the centrifugal force (apparent).

We know that we can calculate the apparent centrifugal force thank to the formula:

F = (m·v²)/r = 204N

So we can write:

Fc = W + F = 445N + 204N = 649N

hooke's law is described mathematically using the formula fsp=-kx. which statement is correct about spring force, fsp? A. It is
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A. It is always a positive force

Explanation:

Hooke's law describes the relation between an applied force and extension ability of an elastic material. The law states that provided the elastic limit, e, of a material is not exceeded, the force, F, applied is proportional to the extension, x, provided temperature is constant.

i.e F = - kx

where k is the constant of proportionality, and the minus sign implies that the force is a restoring force.

The applied force can either be compressing or stretching force.

18. Compared to its weight on Earth, a 5 kg object on the moon will weigh A. the same amount. B. less. C. more.
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

B. less

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity on Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

acceleration due to gravity on Moon, g = 1.6 m/s²

Given mass of the object as, m = 5 kg

Weight of an object is given as, W = mg

                                                         

Weight of the object on Earth, W = 5 x 9.8 = 49 N

Weight of the object on Moon, W = 5 x 1.6 = 8 N

Therefore, the object weighs less on the moon compared to its weight on Earth.

The correct option is "B. less"

A car is on a circular off ramp of an interstate and is traveling at exactly 25 mph around the curve. Does the car have velocity
netineya [11]

Answer:

The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating

Explanation:

Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.

Select the correct answer.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

If the object is moving at a constant speed, the object isn't accelerating as the velocity doesn't change.
