centripetal acceleration will increase by factor of 9

centripetal acceleration will triple

centripetal acceleration will decrease by 1/3

centripetal acceleration will not change

What is the magnitude and direction of the centripetal force of a naughty teen that is driving donuts in a parking lot in a 770kg car in a radius of 12m at 8m/s?

4,107 N to the center of the donut

4,107 N away from the center of the donut

6,160 N to the center of the donut

What can be correctly state about a cow’s vertical acceleration when launched over a barn?

Decreases

Increases

There is no vertical acceleration

Doesn’t change

A toy unicorn is thrown off the top of the WHS balcony horizontally at 8m/s and lands gracefully 3s later. What is the unicorn's horizontal distance from the balcony?

1

A toy unicorn is thrown off the top of the WHS balcony horizontally at 8m/s and lands gracefully 3s later. How high is the balcony?

1

What is the value of the vertical acceleration as a projectile rises?

1

What is the relationship between the total time of a projectile's flight and the time it takes to rise?

total time = twice time to rise

total time = time to rise

total time = half time to rise

total time has no relationship with time to rise
