Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago

The magnitude of acceleration is (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning) =

                                   (16 m/s)  -  (0)  =  16 m/s .

Time for the change  =  4 s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (16 m/s) / (4 s) = 4 m/s per sec = 4 m/s² .

16 m/s - 0 m/s divided by 4s
= 16 m/s divided by 4s
= 4 m/s
The acceleration is 4 m/s squared

Why is centrifugal force is a fake force?<br>​
mash [69]

Answer:

We say fictitious because the actual source of the centrifugal acceleration is somewhat indirect and the experience one has results from the unbalanced forces acting on the reference frame, not a force. Note, it is an acceleration not a force. For instance, imagine yourself on a swing.

A dog of mass 10 kg sits on a skateboard of mass 2 kg that is initially traveling south at 2 m/s. The dog jumps off with a veloc
Tasya [4]

Answer:

17 m/s south

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of dog = 10 kg

m_2 = Mass of skateboard = 2 kg

v = Combined velocity = 2 m/s

u_1 = Velocity of dog = 1 m/s

u_2 = Velocity of skateboard

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1+m_2u_2=0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(10+2)2+10\times 1}{2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-17\ m/s

The velocity of the skateboard will be 17 m/s south as the north is taken as positive

Giant cave systems have formed through the reaction of acids with the BLANK that make up limestone
Ivenika [448]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Carbonates

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Giant cave systems have formed through the reaction of acids with carbonates the that make up limestone.
  • <em><u>Caves are formed as a result of dissolution of limestone, through a type of chemical weathering known as carbonation. This happens when rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, resulting to the formation of weak carbonic acid. </u></em>
  • The weak carbonic acid formed then slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.
  • Largest caves are formed at a place where the water flows onto the limestone  from an adjacent impermeable Portishead formation and Avon Group mudstones.
