Newton's first law is valid within the frame describes an inertial frame of reference.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

A frame of reference is defined as the system in which the motion or state of any object is observed and stated with respect to the set of space and time, observer or any other object or environment, either moving or at rest.

The two types of frame of references to be studied by us are the Inertial and non-inertial. An inertial reference frame is defined in that a body is either at rest or moves with a constant speed or velocity if there is no external force exerted upon it i.e. the objects are either rest or move at a same velocity.

Since it’s quite clear through the definition that an inertial frame of reference obeys Newton’s first law of motion, we have the first option as the perfect answer.

Astronauts are trained for take-off in a high-speed centrifuge of 4.7 m radius that spins in the horizontal plane.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

a) $1.94 \frac{rad}{s}$

b) $9.12\frac{m}{s}$

c) Towards the center of the centrifuge

Explanation:

Becuse the centrifuge rotates in circular motion, there's an angular acceleration tha simulates high gravity accelerations

$a_{rad}=\omega r^{2}$

with r the radius and ω the amgular velocity, in or case $a_rad=3.5g$ so:

$3.5g=\omega r^{2}$ and g=9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

solving for ω:

$\omega=\frac{3.5g}{r^2}=\frac{3.5*9.8}{4.2^2}$

$\omega = 1.94 \frac{rad}{s}$

b) Linear speed (v) and angular speed are related by:

$v=\omega r =(1.94)(4.7)$

$v= 9.12\frac{m}{s}$

c) The apparent weigth is pointing towards the center of the circle, becuse angular acceleration is pointing in that direction.

What is dark energy and what evidence do astronomers have that it is an important component of the universe?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The existance of dark energy was suggested to help explain measurements, using Type Ia supernovae as distance indicators, that the expansion of the universe is speeding up and its acceleration requires a source of energy. Scientists suggested that It may be a new form of energy for which there is not yet a theoretical explanation. quantum mechanics predict that it may be the vacuum energy associated with "empty" space itself.

A guyot is ________. A. any portion of the ocean floor that is topographically higher than surrounding sea floor B. an extinct o

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

c.an extinct oceanic hot-spot volcano that has subsided below sea level

Explanation:

- Marine geology defines a guyot as an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200m below the surface of the sea.

-The flat top is due to years of wave erosion.

-Guyots can form a chain of seamounts as the ocean plate of the Earth's crust moves slowly over a hot spot that remains stationary beneath the plate.
