true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.

1 answer:

Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

1. A kangaroo hops 84 m to the east in 7 seconds.

DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance hopped = 84m

Displacement = 84m due east

Time = 7s

Unknown:

Speed of kangaroo = ?

Velocity of kangaroo = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem,

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time }$ = $\frac{84}{7}$ = 12m/s

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$ = $\frac{84}{7}$ = 12m/s due east

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

Answer:

P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

Explanation:

What the equation means is that if you double the current you end up with 4 times the power loss. It's like the area of carpet you need for a room - if you make the room twice as long and twice as wide you need 4x as much carpet. The physical explanation is that the voltage difference along a wire depends on the current - more current flowing with a resistance means more voltage (pressure of electricity if you like) is built up.

This extra voltage means more power. So if you double the current your would double the power, but you also double the voltage which doubles the power again = 4x as much power. P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

I hope this helps you out, if I'm wrong, just tell me.

hammer [34]

Answer:

$a_M=1.92a_A$

Explanation:

$\omega_M=\omega_A$ = Angular speed

$r_M$ = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

$r_A$ = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

$\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A$

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex
