The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in circular motion. It is usually directed towards the center of the rotation.

It is given by:

a = v²/r

where v is the velocity and r is the radius.

Given that the radius (r) = 4 m, velocity (v) = 0.419 m/s, hence:

a = v²/r = 0.419²/4 =  0.044 m/s²

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Answer:

M_c = 100.8 Nm

Explanation:

Given:

F_a = 2.5 KN

Find:

Determine the moment of this force about C for the two cases shown.

Solution:

- Draw horizontal and vertical vectors at point A.

- Take moments about point C as follows:

                        M_c = F_a*( 42 / 150 ) *144

                        M_c = 2.5*( 42 / 150 ) *144

                        M_c = 100.8 Nm

- We see that the vertical component of force at point A passes through C.

Hence, its moment about C is zero.

In 8.4 s a fisherman winds 2.9 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 3.0 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation)
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The angular speed of the reel is 11.33 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

The fisherman takes t = 8.4 s to wind distance x = 2.9 m into a circle radius of r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Than the tangencial speed equals the change in the distance to the time

v = \frac{x}{t} = \frac{2.9 m}{8.4 s} = 0.34 \frac{m}{s}

Knowing the tangencial velocity is proportional to the radius r and the angular velocity

v = r*w

w = \frac{0.34 m/s}{0.03 m} = 11.33 \frac{rad}{s}

How much will the kinetic energy of a school bus increase if its velocity is tripled?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a school bus.

Let say initially the school bus is traveling with speed "v"

Let assume mass of school bus is "m"

Then, the initial kinetic energy is

K.E_initial = ½mv²

Now, if the initial velocity is tripled,

Then, the new velocity is

v_new = 3v.

Note: the mass of the school does not change it is constant

Then, new kinetic energy is

K.E_new = ½m(v_new)²

v_new = 3v

Then,

K.E_new = ½m(3v)²

K.E_new = ½m × 9v²

K.E_new = 9 × ½mv²

Since K.E = ½mv²

Then,

K.E_new = 9 × K.E

So, the new kinetic energy will be 9 times the initial kinetic energy.

So, option D is correct

D. It will be nine times greater.
