<span>First, we use the kinetic energy equation to create a formula: Ka = 2Kb 1/2(ma*Va^2) = 2(1/2(mb*Vb^2)) The 1/2 of the right gets cancelled by the 2 left of the bracket so: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*Vb^2 (1) By the definiton of momentum we can say: ma*Va = mb*Vb And with some algebra: Vb = (ma*Va)/mb (2) Substituting (2) into (1), we have: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*((ma*Va)/mb)^2 Then: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*(ma^2*Va^2)/mb^2 We cancel the Va^2 in both sides and cancel the mb at the numerator, leving the denominator of the right side with exponent 1: 1/2(ma) = (ma^2)/mb Cancel the ma of the left, leaving the right one with exponent 1: 1/2 = ma/mb And finally we have that: mb/2 = ma mb = 2ma</span>

Julius competes in the hammer throw event. the hammer has a mass of 7.26 kg and is 1.215 m long. what is the centripetal force o
TEA [102]
Centripetal force <span>a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. It is calculated by the expression:

F = mv^2/r

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

F = 7.26(31.95)^2 / (1.215) = 6100 N</span>

A helicopter travels west at 80 mph. It is moving above a car traveling on a highway at 80 mph. Given this information, you can
gavmur [86]

Answer:

d. at the same velocity

Explanation:

I will assume the car is also travelling westward because it was stated that the helicopter was moving above the car. In that case, it depends where the observer is. If the observer is in the car, the helicopter would look like it is standing still ( because both objects have the same velocity). If the observer is on the side of the road, both objects would be travelling at the same velocity. Also recall that, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes but speed is the rate at which object covers distance and it is not direction wise. Hence velocity is the best option.

A Micro –Hydro turbine generator is accelerating uniformly from an angular velocity of 610 rpm to its operating angular velocity
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Angular displacement of the turbine is 234.62 radian

Explanation:

initial angular speed of the turbine is

\omega_i = 2\pi f_1

\omega_1 = 2\pi(\frac{610}{60})

\omega_1 = 63.88 rad/s

similarly final angular speed is given as

\omega_f = 2\pi f_2

\omega_2 = 2\pi(\frac{837}{60})

\omega_2 = 87.65 rad/s

angular acceleration of the turbine is given as

\alpha = 5.9 rad/s^2

now we have to find the angular displacement is given as

\theta = \omega t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

\theta = (63.88)(3.2) + (\frac{1}{2})(5.9)(3.2^2)

\theta = 234.62 radian
