Answer:

114.86%

Explanation:

In both cases, there is a vertical force equal to the sprinter's weight:

Fy = mg

When running in a circle, there is an additional centripetal force:

Fx = mv²/r

The net force is found with Pythagorean theorem:

F² = Fx² + Fy²

F² = (mv²/r)² + (mg)²

F² = m² ((v²/r)² + g²)

F = m √((v²/r)² + g²)

Compared to just the vertical force:

F / Fy

m √((v²/r)² + g²) / mg

√((v²/r)² + g²) / g

Given v = 12 m/s, r = 26 m, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

√((12²/26)² + 9.8²) / 9.8

1.1486

The force is about 114.86% greater (round as needed).

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The work done is 360 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 50 kg

Distance =3 m

We need to calculate the work done

The work done is equal to the product of force and displacement.

Using formula of work done

W = F\cdot d

W = Fd\cos\theta

Where, F = force

D = distance

θ = Angle between force and displacement

Put the value into the formula

W=120\times3\cos0^{\circ}

W=360\ J

Hence, The work done is 360 J.

An green hoop with mass mh = 2.8 kg and radius rh = 0.13 m hangs from a string that goes over a blue solid disk pulley with mass
Otrada [13]
The only force on the system is the mass of the hoop F net = 2.8kg*9.81m/s^2 = 27.468 N The mass equal of the rolling sphere is found by: the sphere rotates around the contact point with the table. 
So by applying the theorem of parallel axes, the moment of inertia of the sphere is computed by:I = 2/5*mR^2 for rotation about the center of mass + mR^2 for the distance of the axis of rotation from the center of mass of the sphere. 
I = 7/5*mR^2 M = 7/5*m 
Therefore, linear acceleration is computed by:F/m = 27.468 / (2.8 + 1/2*2 + 7/5*4) = 27.468/9.4 = 2.922 m/s^2
