For sprinters running at 12 m/s around a curved track of radius 26 m, how much greater (as a percentage) is the average total fo

rce on their feet compared to when they are running in a straight line?

Snezhnost [94]2 years ago

5 0

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).

Consider two ideal gases, A & B, at the same temperature. The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that of gas B. Ho

uysha [10]

Answer:

option (d)

Explanation:

The relation between the rms velocity and the molecular mass is given by

v proportional to \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} keeping the temperature constant

So for two gases

$\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

$\frac{2v_{B}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$

${\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}} = 4$

${\frac{M_{B}}{4}} = M_{A}$

How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per four seconds? (That is, one complete oscillation takes

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum T = 8 sec

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.81m/sec^2$

We have to find the length of the simple pendulum

We know that time period of the simple pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

$8=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81}}$

$l=3.987m$

So length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at a speed of 5.4 m/s through a uniform hose of radius 0.83 cm. The hose pass

Gala2k [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the flow as a function of the volume in a certain time, as well as the potential and kinetic energy that act on the pump and the fluid.

The work done would be defined as

$\Delta W = \Delta PE + \Delta KE$

Where,

PE = Potential Energy

KE = Kinetic Energy

$\Delta W = (\Delta m)gh+\frac{1}{2}(\Delta m)v^2$

Where,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational energy

h = Height

v = Velocity

Considering power as the change of energy as a function of time we will then have to

$P = \frac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}$

$P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)$

The rate of mass flow is,

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av$

Where,

$\rho_w$ = Density of water

A = Area of the hose $\rightarrow A=\pi r^2$

The given radius is 0.83cm or $0.83 * 10^{-2}$ m, so the Area would be

$A = \pi (0.83*10^{-2})^2$

$A = 0.0002164m^2$

We have then that,

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \rho_w Av$

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = (1000)(0.0002164)(5.4)$

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 1.16856kg/s$

Final the power of the pump would be,

$P = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}(gh+\frac{1}{2}v^2)$

$P = (1.16856)((9.8)(3.5)+\frac{1}{2}5.4^2)$

$P = 57.1192W$

Therefore the power of the pump is 57.11W

Which sphere is NOT a part of the cycling of oxygen through Earths systems ?

stepan [7]

The answer would be Exosphere because, there are 3 main regions that circulate oxygen through the Earths system, which are the Biosphere, Atmosphere, and the Lithosphere.
