Answer:

1974.4328 m/s²

Explanation:

r = Radius = 0.5 m

t = Time taken = 0.1 second

Rotational speed

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\pi 0.5}{0.1}\\\Rightarrow v=31.42\ m/s

The centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a_c=\dfrac{31.42^2}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow a_c=1974.4328\ m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration of the rock is 1974.4328 m/s²

Dolphins communicate using compression waves (longitudinal waves). Some of the sounds dolphins make are outside the range of hum
lana66690 [7]

Answer: send the message underwater because a more dense medium would make the sound travel faster.

Explanation:

Dolphins communicate using compression waves - longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves requires a medium to travel. A longitudinal wave transfers energy by the vibration of medium particles in the direction of the wave motion. Compression are the regions where density of the medium is higher and rarefaction is a low density region.

A longitudinal wave travels faster in a denser medium. It has maximum speed in solid and minimum in gas. Thus, to transfer message quickly to dolphin B., dolphin A should send the message underwater and not in air. This is because water has higher density than air. Molecules collide more quickly in water than in air and it takes less time for signal to travel.

When you throw a ball up in the air, it travels up and then stops instantaneously before falling back down. At the point where i
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The ball stops instantaneously at the topmost point of the motion.

Explanation:

Assume we have thrown a ball up in the air. For that we have given a force on the ball and it acquires an initial velocity in the upward direction.

The forces that resist the motion of the ball in the upward direction are the force of gravity and air resistance. The ball will instantaneously come to rest when the velocity of the ball reduces to zero.

The two forces acting in the downward direction reduces its speed continuously and it becomes zero at the topmost point.

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge 41.7 m above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down 1.80 s after the f
hram777 [196]

Answer:

31.75 m/s

Explanation:

h = 41.7 m

Let the initial velocity of the second stone is u

Let the time taken to reach to the bottom by the first stone is t then the time taken by the second stone to reach the ground is t - 1.8.

For first stone:

Use second equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here, u = 0, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and t be the time and h = 41.7

So, 41.7= 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

41.7 = 4.9 t^2

t = 2.92 s ..... (1)

For second stone:

Use second equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and time taken is t - 1.8 = 2.92 - 1.8 = 1.12 s, h = 41.7 m and u be the initial velocity

h=u\left ( t-1.8 \right )+4.9\left ( t-1.8 \right )^2    .... (2)

By equation the equation (1) and (2), we get

41.7=1.12 u +4.9 \times 1.12^{2}

u = 31.75 m/s
