Your answer would be
D. Gasoline-powered cars are better for past acceleration and traveling at high speeds.
I just took this quiz and can confirm this is the correct answer!
Hope this helps :)
Compute the ball's angular speed <em>v</em> :
<em>v</em> = (1 rev) / (2.3 s) • (2<em>π</em> • 180 cm/rev) • (1/100 m/cm) ≈ 4.917 m/s
Use this to find the magnitude of the radial acceleration <em>a</em> :
<em>a</em> = <em>v </em>²/<em>R</em>
where <em>R</em> is the radius of the circular path. We get
<em>a</em> = <em>v</em> ² / (180 cm) = <em>v</em> ² / (1.8 m) ≈ 13.43 m/s²
The only force acting on the ball in the plane parallel to the circular path is the tension force. By Newton's second law, the net force acting on the ball has magnitude
∑ <em>F</em> = <em>m</em> <em>a</em>
where <em>m</em> is the mass of the ball. So, if <em>t</em> denotes the magnitude of the tension force, then
<em>t</em> = (1.6 kg) (13.43 m/s²) ≈ 21 N
Without air resistance, the ball would reach a height of h = 31.9 m(pic 1)
The gravitational potential energy difference would be ΔU = 62.588J - 43.164J = 19,424J (pic2 + 3)
The work done by air resistance must be equal to the energy difference(pic4)
The magnitude of the air resistance: F = 0.883N
