Centripetal acceleration is the force acting on the body who's moving in a circular motion. It is still a force, which according to Newton's Second Law of Motion,

F = ma
F = (70 kg)(2)(9.81 m/s²)
F = 1373.4 N

<em>Thus, the answer is B.</em>

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

N=459.01N

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law:

N+F_y-W=0

The component of the force on the y-axis can be obtained through the Pythagorean Theorem. This is because the components are the cathetus of a right triangle and its hypotenuse is the magnitude of the force:

sin12^\circ=\frac{F_y}{F}\\F_y=Fsin12^\circ

Replacing and solving for N:

N=W-Fsin12^\circ\\N=485N-(125N)sin12^\circ\\N=459.01N

A 1.47-newton baseball is dropped from a height of 10.0 meters and falls through the air to the ground. The kinetic energy of th
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall is 26.7 joules

Explanation:

Potential Energy (PE) = weight of baseball × height = 1.47N × 10m = 14.7Nm = 14.7 joules

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 12 joules

Maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall = PE + KE = 14.7 joules + 12 joules = 26.7 joules

Assuming both graduated cylinders are holding water at room temperature, which cylinder has more thermal energy?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The graduate cylinder with more water has more thermal energy because it is holding more water molecules

Explanation:

Given that the thermal energy of the system is the energy possessed by the system by virtue of the increased motion of the particles by virtue of a transfer  of heat, when the content of the system is heated

The thermal energy, Q is given by the following equation;

Q = Mass, m × The specific heat capacity, C × The change in temperature, ΔT

Given that the graduated cylinder with more water has more mass and therefore, more water molecules, than the cylinder with less water, the cylinder with more water has more thermal energy.

Jade and her roommate Jari commute to work each morning, traveling west on I-10. One morning Jade left for work at 6:45 A.M., bu
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Jari

Explanation:

The question requires to know who is traveling faster. This is done by comparing the gradients. The steeper the slope (high gradient), the faster the speed and vice versa.

From Jari's line, the starting point is (0, 0) and another point is (6, 7)

The gradient being change in y to change in x

Change in y=7-0=7

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 7/6

For Jade, first point is (0, 10) then another point is (6, 16)

Change in y=16-10=6

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 6/6=1

Clearly, 7/6 is greater than 6/6 or 1 hence Jari is faster than Jade
