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}}

4(5x + 7) = 128

First, I'd do distributive property and get:

20x + 28 = 128

Then, subtract 28 from each side.

20x = 100

Next, I'd divide 100 by 20 = 5

x = 5

4 *(5(5) + 7) = 128

5 * 5 = 25

4 * (25 + 7)

4 * 32 = 128

Therefore, the perimeter = 2l + 2w

l = 4

w = 5x + 7

BUT we know that x = 5

w = 5(5) + 7 = 32

2(4) + 2(32)

8 + 64 = 72

Therefore, the perimeter would be 72 inches.

Please find the unknown with all steps ​
kirill [66]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AC = BC then ΔABC is isosceles with base angles

∠BAC =∠ABC, thus

3x + x = 70

4x = 70 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 17.5

----------------------------------------------------

∠ADC is an external angle of ΔABD and the external angle is equal to the 2 opposite interior angles, hence

y = 70 + x = 70 + 17.5 = 87.5

2 times 8 equals 16 plus 3 would equal ~~19~~

3 times 6 equals 18 minus 2 times 8 would equal ~~16~~

5 times 6 equals 30 plus 8 times 1/2 equals ~~19~~

(3 times 8 equals 24 plus six equals 30) 2 times 30 equals 60 divided by (10 times 3 equals 30) 30 equals ~~2~~
