Answer:

We need 4 times more force to keep the car in circular motion if the velocity gets double.

Explanation:

Lets take the mass of the car = m

The radius of the arc = r

$F=\frac{m\times v^2}{r}$

Given that speed of the car gets double ,v' = 2 v

Then the force on the car = F'

$F'=\frac{m\times v'^2}{r}$ ( radius of the arc is constant)

$F'=\frac{m\times (2v)^2}{r}$

$F'=4\times \frac{m\times v^2}{r}$

We know that $F=\frac{m\times v^2}{r}$

Therefore F' = 4 F

So we can say that we need 4 times more force to keep the car in circular motion if the velocity gets double.

In a study, the data you collect is Habits on a Always/Sometimes/Never scale.What is the level of measurement?

zzz [600]

Answer:

Ordinal

Explanation:

There are four levels of measurement which include the nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. The data collected above is ordinal data as it qualifies the data and still indicates the ordering of the data. It gives the observer an idea of the range of data collected or its rating although mathematical calculations may not be done with it.

The other forms of data include the nominal which simply qualifies the data, the interval which qualifies the data but which the differences between the data can be obtained, and of course the data has no starting point. The ratio scale which is similar to the interval scale but which the ratios between the data obtained can be compared.

At a local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 5.5 m above the pool's surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

$L = 4.86 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

The height of the diving board is given as

$h = 5.5 m$

now the speed of the diver is given as

$v_0 = 2.7 m/s$

when the diver will jump into the water then his displacement in vertical direction is same as that of height of diving board

So we will have

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

plug in the values in the above equation

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2(5.5 m)}{9.81}$

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

Horizontal distance moved by the diver is given as

$d = v_0 t$

$d = 2.7 \times 1.06$

$d = 2.86 m$

so the distance from the edge of the pool is given as

$L = 2.86 + 2$

$L = 4.86 m$

If a metal wire is 4m long and a force of 5000n causes it to stretch by 1mm, what is the strain?

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}$

where

$\Delta L$ is the change in length of the object

$L_0$ is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have $L_0 = 4 m$ and $\Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m$ , therefore the strain is

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

A baseball player exerts a force of 100 N on a ball for a distance of 0.5 mas he throws it. If the ball has a mass of 0.15 kg, w

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

25.82 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Force exerted by baseball player; F = 100 N

Distance covered by ball; d = 0.5 m

Mass of ball; m = 0.15 kg

Now, to get the velocity at which the ball leaves his hand, we will equate the work done to the kinetic energy.

We should note that work done is a measure of the energy exerted by the baseball player.

Thus;

F × d = ½mv²

100 × 0.5 = ½ × 0.15 × v²

v² = (2 × 100 × 0.5)/0.15

v² = 666.67

v = √666.67

v = 25.82 m/s
