If the ride is turning at a constant rate, then the acceleration is all centripetal, and zero tangential.

I think that the girl has greater tangential acceleration because she is closer to the center and the acceleration is greater there.

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards
Trava [24]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards  

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25

and maximum height is

y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

Explain how the forces need to change so the aeroplane can land
Fofino [41]
When an airplane is flying straight and level at a constant speed, the lift it produces balances its weight, and the thrust it produces balances its drag. However, this balance of forces changes as the airplane rises and descends, as it speeds up and slows down, and as it turns.

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge q. charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from q. what is the ratio u1/u2 of their p
makvit [3.9K]
We need the power law for the change in potential energy (due to the Coulomb force) in bringing a charge q from infinity to distance r from charge Q. We are only interested in the ratio U₁/U₂, so I'm not going to bother with constants (like the permittivity of space). 

<span>The potential energy of charge q is proportional to </span>
<span>∫[s=r to ∞] qQs⁻²ds = -qQs⁻¹|[s=r to ∞] = qQr⁻¹, </span>

<span>so if r₂ = 3r₁ and q₂ = q₁/4, then </span>
<span>U₁/U₂ = q₁Qr₂/(r₁q₂Q) = (q₁/q₂)(r₂/r₁) </span>
<span>= 4•3 = 12.</span>

Tiana jogs 1.5 km along a straight path and then turns and jogs 2.4 km in the opposite direction. She then turns back and jogs 0
vichka [17]

Answer:

Distance: 4.6km Displacement= -0.2km

Explanation:

Total distance: 1.5+2.4+0.7= 4.6 km

Displacement: 1.5-2.4+0.7= -0.2km

The displacement may also be 0.2km, it just depends on if it wants it negative or not.
