A typical running track is an oval with 74-m-diameter half circles at each end. a runner going once around the track covers a di

stance of 400 m . suppose a runner, moving at a constant speed, goes once around the track in 1 min 40 s. what is her centripetal acceleration during the turn at each end of the track?

The centripetal acceleration of runner at each end of track is \boxed{0.432{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} .

Explanation:

It is given that the diameter of oval track that consists of two half circles at each end is 74{\text{ m}} .

The distance runner runs once around the track is 400{\text{ m}} . The runner covers one round of track in 1{\text{ m}}  and 40{\text{ s}} .

Our aim is obtain the value of centripetal acceleration for runner at each track.

The expression for centripetal acceleration is shown below.

{a_c}=\frac{{{v^2}}}{R}                                                                          …… (1)

Here, v  is the speed of the runner and R  is the radius of track.

The speed of the runner is the ratio of distance she takes to cover the track to the time taken by her.

The time in seconds is calculated as,

\begin{aligned}t&=60{\text{ s}}+40{\text{ s}}\\&=100{\text{ s}}\\\end{aligned}

The distance covered is 400{\text{ m}} , so the speed calculated is shown below.

\begin{aligned}{\text{speed}}&=\frac{{{\text{distance}}}}{{{\text{time}}}}\\&=\frac{{400{\text{ m}}}}{{100{\text{ s}}}}\\&=4{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}}\\\end{aligned}

The radius of track calculated is shown below.

\begin{aligned}R&=\frac{d}{2}\\&=\frac{{74{\text{ m}}}}{2}\\&=37{\text{ m}}\\\end{aligned}

Substitute 4  for v  and 37  for R  in equation (1) to obtain the centripetal acceleration {a_c} .

\begin{aligned}a_{c}&=\frac{(4\text{ m/s})^{2}}{37\text{ m}}\\&=\frac{16}{37}\text{ m/s}^{2}\\&=0.432\text{ m/s}^{2}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration {a_c}  is 0.432{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}} .

Thus, the centripetal acceleration of runner at each end of track is \boxed{0.432{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} .

Answer:

Her centripetal acceleration during the turn at each end of the track is 0.432\, \frac{m}{s^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance covered in one round , D= 400 m

Time taken to cover one round , T = 1 min 40 s = 100 sec

Speed of runner , V=\frac{D}{T}=\frac{400}{100}\, \frac{m}{s}= 4.0\, \frac{m}{s}

Now centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

where V= 4.0\frac{m}{s}

Radius, R= \frac{Diameter}{2}=\frac{74}{2}m=37\, m

\therefore a_c=\frac{4^{2}}{37}\, \frac{m}{s^{2}}=0.432\, \frac{m}{s^{2}}

Thus her centripetal acceleration during the turn at each end of the track is 0.432\, \frac{m}{s^{2}}

Hey there! Hello!

So, for this problem, I don't really see an answer choice that fits along with this description?? The last one is the closest to the answer I believe it is, but still doesn't fit exactly:

Twice a number = 2n
Three more than = +3
Final equation = 2n+3

Perhaps you have a typo either in your question or your answer problem, or I'm just way too tired. Either way, I hope this helped you out, and feel free to ask me any additional questions you may have.

(6 × 10⁷)/(5 × 10⁴)

We could simplify the exponential number of 10 by substracting the exponent number, it could be written as
= 6/5 × 10⁷⁻⁴
= 6/5 × 10³
= 1.2 × 10³
(This is the final answer)

lbvjy [14]
2*3 = 6 teaspoons per day per child
6*5 = 30 teaspoons 
30*3 = 90 teaspoons 
You need 90 teaspoons

1 teaspoon = 4.9289 mL
90*4.9289 = 443.6010 mL
443.6010 / 150 = 2.9573 bottles

You need at least 3 bottles
