Answer:

The centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5

Explanation:

Given;

first radius of the horizontal circle, r₁ = 500 m

speed of the airplane, v = 150 m/s

second radius of the airplane, r₂ = 1000 m

Centripetal acceleration is given as;

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

At constant speed, we will have;

v^2 =ar\\\\v = \sqrt{ar}\\\\at \ constant\ v;\\\sqrt{a_1r_1} = \sqrt{a_2r_2}\\\\a_1r_1 = a_2r_2\\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1r_1}{r_2} \\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1*500}{1000}\\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1}{2} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{2} a_1

a₂ = 0.5a₁

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5

All stars go through a lifecycle.

Mira is much bigger than the Sun.

Only very massive stars will go through a supernova stage, causing the outer layer to explode away and the core to collapse in on itself, becoming very dense.

What would be the magnitude of the electric field 0.75 m from a 0.63 C master charge and what would be the force on a 0.50 C tes
bagirrra123 [75]

The magnitude of the electric field on the master charge is 1.008 x 10¹⁰ N/C, and the force on the test charge is 5.04 x 10⁹ N.

<h3>Electric field on the master charge</h3>

E = kq/r²

where;

  • q is magnitude of master charge
  • r is distance of separation
  • k is Coulomb's constant

E = (9 x 10⁹ x 0.63)/(0.75²)

E = 1.008 x 10¹⁰ N/C

<h3>Force on the test charge</h3>

F = Eq

where;

  • E is electric field
  • q is the test charge

F = (1.008 x 10¹⁰) x (0.5)

F = 5.04 x 10⁹ N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field on the master charge is 1.008 x 10¹⁰ N/C, and the force on the test charge is 5.04 x 10⁹ N.

. A 40.0-kg child standing on a frozen pond throws a 0.500-kg stone to the east with a speed of 5.00 m/s. Neglecting friction be
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

A 40kg child throw stone of 0.5kg

At a direction of 5m/s

Recoil can be calculated using recoil of a gun formula

m_1•v_1 + m_2•v_2

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

The negative sign show that the momentum of the boy is directed oppositely to that of the stone

m_1 Is mass of boy

v_1 is the recoil velocity of the boy

m_2 is mass of stone

v_2 is the velocity of stone

Then,

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

40•v_1 = -0.5 × 5

40•v_1 = -2.5

v_1 = -2.5 / 40

v_1 = -0.0625 m/s

The recoil velocity of the boy is 0.0625 m/s

Which equation is true of an atom with no elctrical charge
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Atoms are composed of electrons (charge -1), protons (charge +1), and neutrons (no charge). So in a neutral atom the correct answer is "D".

Frequency is measured in units called?
irina1246 [14]
The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.
