Answer:

Explanation:

Among the most outstanding achievements of Marie and Pierre Curie are:

1. Discovered the elements of Polonio and Radio.

2. They discovered and coined the term radioactivity to refer to the energy produced by the elements they discovered.

3. Identify the radioactive properties of thorium and uranium elements.

4. Maria Curie founded the medical research institute Marie Curie in France.

5. Development of portable radiology units for medical use during the First World War. Marie Curie, whose maiden name was Marie Sklodowska, was born in Poland in 1867.

She studied mathematics, physics, and chemistry in Paris and was the first French woman to receive a doctorate degree. For her contributions to science, she won a Nobel prize in physics and one in chemistry is the first woman to win a Nobel prize and the only person who has won a Nobel in two different scientific areas. Piere Curie was a French physicist known for his work with Marie Curie that led to the discovery of radioactivity and two new chemical elements.

Answer:

SKID

Explanation:

In general, airplane tracks are flat, they do not have cant, consequently the friction force is what keeps the bicycle in the circle.

Let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis.

Y axis y

     N- W = 0

     N = W

X axis (radial)

        fr = m a

the acceleration in the curve is centripetal

         a = \frac{v^2}{r}

the friction force has the expression

        fr = μ N

we substitute

       μ mg = m v²/r

       v = \sqrt{\mu g r}

we calculate

      v = \sqrt{0.1 \ 9.8 \ 3}

      v = 1,715 m / s

to compare with the cyclist's speed let's reduce to the SI system

        v₀ = 18 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 5 m / s

We can see that the speed that the cyclist is carrying is greater than the speed that the curve can take, therefore the cyclist will SKID

If you walk 30 meters forwards, and then turn around and walk 25 meters backwards, what is the distance that you walked? What di
xeze [42]

Given :

Walk in forward direction is 30 m .

Walk in backward direction is 25 m .

To Find :

The distance and displacement .

Solution :

We know , distance is total distance covered and displacement is distance between final and initial position .

So , distance travelled is :

D = 30 + 25 m = 55 m .

Now , we first move 30 m in forward direction and then 25 m in backward direction .

So , displacement is :

D = 30 - 25 m = 5 m .

Therefore , distance and displacement covered is 55 m and 5 m respectively .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Hi please may someone help me especially on the sketch part.
vaieri [72.5K]

Ignoring the air resistance it will take about 3 seconds for the object to reach the ground.We know that the acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2.

We also know that the final velocity is 30 m/s while the initial velocity is 0 m/s

we can use the formulae for acceleration to calculate the time taken/

(final - initial velocity)/timetaken=10

(30-0)/timetaken=10

timetaken =30/10=3 seconds

The brain mass of a human fetus during a particular trimester can be accurately estimated from the circumference of the head by
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

a. If c = 20 cm, then the mass of the brain is m = 5 g.

b. At c = 20 cm, the brain's mass is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.

Explanation:

From the equation

m\left(c\right) = \frac{c^3}{100}-\frac{1500}{c}

we have

a. for c = 20 cm

m\left(20\right)=\frac{20^3}{100}-\frac{1500}{20}=5,

then the mass is m(20) = 5 g.

b. In order to find the rate of change, first we derivate

\frac{dm}{dc}=\frac{3c^2}{100}+\frac{1500}{c^2}.

Evaluated at c = 20 cm, we have

\frac{dm}{dc}|_{c=20}=\frac{3\times 20^2}{100}+\frac{1500}{20^2}=15.75.

So, at c = 20 cm, the mass of the brain is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.
