Centripetal Force (Fcp) = ?

His arm length = Radius (R) = 0.75 m

Discus velocity = Linear Velocity (V) = 5 m/s

Discus mass (m) = 2 kg

Centripetal Acceleration (Acp) = V^2/R or W^2 x R
In this case i will use the V^2/R formula, because it uses the discus velocity (V).

fcp = m \times acp \\ fcp = m \times {v}^{2} \div r \\ fcp = 2 \times {5}^{2} \div 0.75 \\ fcp = 2 \times 25 \div 0.75 \\ fcp = 50 \div 0.75
fcp = 66.666... = 66 \: newtons

Answer: Last option, 66 N.

Answer:

the answer is 66 N

Explanation:

Centripetal Force (Fcp) = ?

His arm length = Radius (R) = 0.75 m

Discus velocity = Linear Velocity (V) = 5 m/s

Discus mass (m) = 2 kg

Centripetal Acceleration (Acp) = V^2/R or W^2 x R

In this case i will use the V^2/R formula, because it uses the discus velocity (V).

Norma kicks a soccer ball with an initial velocity of 10.0 meters per second at an angle of 30.0°. If the ball moves through the
enyata [817]

<u>Answer</u>

27.7


<u>Explanation</u>

The ball was hit at an angle of 30°, with the horizontal at a speed of 10 m/s. We have to find the horizontal component of speed.

cosx = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 30 = adjacent / 10

adjacent = 10 cos30

             = 8.66 m/s        ⇒ This is the horizontal speed.

Now  find the horizontal distance.

Distance = speed × time

               = 8.66 × 3.2

                = 27.71

Answer to the nearest tenth = 27.7

A baseball pitcher throws a ball at 90.0 mi/h in the horizontal direction. How far does the ball fall vertically by the time it
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Vertical distance=  3.3803ft

Explanation:

First with the speed of the ball and the distance traveled horizontally we can determine the flight time to reach the plate:

Velocity= (90 mi/h) × (1 mile/5280ft) = 475200ft/h

Distance= Velocity × time⇒ time= 60.5ft / (475200ft/h) = 0.00012731h

time=  0.00012731h × (3600s/h)= 0.458316s

With this time we can determine the distance traveled vertically taking into account that its initial vertical velocity is zero and its acceleration is that of gravity, 9.81m/s²:

Vertical distance= (1/2) × 9.81 (m/s²) × (0.458316s)²=1.0303m

Vertical distance= 1.0303m × (1ft/0.3048m) = 3.3803ft

This is the vertical distance traveled by the ball from the time it is thrown by the pitcher until it reaches the plate, regardless of air resistance.

Suppose you are measuring the height of a small child. What will determine the number if significant digits you record?
slega [8]

The number of significant digits of any measurement is determined by the instrument used for such measurement. For example, in this case, we have the height of a small child being measured. We can use a simple ruler for this, and we see that a ruler has ten divisions for 1 cm. This means that the ruler cannot measure beyond the size of 0.1 cm or 1 mm. Hence, when we report the height of the small child, we report it to one significant digit after the decimal place. As an example, if we measure a child's height to be 90 full cm divisions and 8 smaller divisions, we report it as 90.8 cm but not 90.83 or 90.86 cm.
