Physics

Venus becomes hotter because it has a very thick atmosphere. An atmosphere is a layer of gasses surrounding a planet or a moon. An atmosphere stops heat from escaping. Venus' atmosphere is much thicker than Earth's. It is mostly made of a gas that ic called carbon dioxide.

<span>Venus is hotter due to the greenhouse effect: Venus has an atmosphere about ninety times thicker than that of Earth, and made almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which is one of the gasses that causes the greenhouse effect on Earth.</span>

5. A 905 kg test car travels around a 3.04 km circular track. If the magnitude of the centripetal force is 2100 N. What is the c
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for centripetal force is

F=\frac{mv^2}{r}. We have all the values we need except for the radius. We have the circumference of the circle, though, so we will solve for the radius using that and the fact that C = 2πr:

3.04 = 2(3.1415)r and

r = .484 m, to the correct number of sig fig's.

Now that we have everything we need and isolating the v NOT squared:

v=\sqrt{\frac{rF}{m} } and filling in:

v=\sqrt{\frac{(.484)(2100)}{905} } . This answer will need 2 sig fig's since 2100 has 2 sig fig's in it. That means that the velocity of the test car is

1.1 m/sec

Within a pendulum, as kinetic energy decreases, potential energy _____.
romanna [79]

Answer: a

Increase

Explanation:

Simple pendulum motion obeys law of conservative of energy. Where at maximum K.E, P.E = 0 and vice versa.

Also, increase in K.E will lead to decrease in P.E and vice versa.
