Answer:

only one: a sky diver falling at a constant speed

Explanation:

Let's recall that acceleration is a change in velocity, which means either a change in the speed of an object or a change in its direction.

let's now analyze each situation:

- a race car going around a circular track at 150 mph --> here the direction of motion is changing, so the object is accelerating

a sky diver falling at a constant speed --> here both the speed and the direction are constant, so the object is NOT accelerating

- a heavy box sliding across the floor, after being released  --> here the speed is changing (In particular, it will decrease, as the friction will slow down the box), so the object is accelerating

- a bowling ball colliding with a pin --> here the speed is changing (when the ball colides with the pin, it slows down), so the object is accelerating

- a vibrating guitar string --> the speed of the vibrating string changes during the vibration (and the direction as well), so the object is accelerating

- a baseball flying through the air --> the speed of the baseball is changing (because there are unbalanced forces acting on the flying ball: the gravity and the air resistance), so the object is accelerating

- a child swinging on a swing --> the speed of the child is changing (and the direction as well) during the oscillation, so the object is accelerating


So, there is only 1 situation in which objects are NOT accelerating:

a sky diver falling at a constant speed

The best way to find that you want is the line fit. When acceleration is constant the speed(v) changes smoothly every moment, so the v line must be straight. Differently, the accelaration changes.

A fluid flows through two horizontal pipes of equal length which are connected together to form a pipe of length 2l. The flow is
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

For rate of flow of liquid in a pipe , the formula is

Q = π p r⁴ / 8 η l

where Q is volume of liquid flowing per unit time , p is pressure drop across pipe , r is radius of pipe , η is coefficient of viscosity and l is length of pipe

If η and l are constant for two pipes having equal rate of flow as in the given case

p₁ r₁⁴ = p₂ r₂⁴

p₁ = 1.789 p₂ ( given )

r₁ = D/2

1.789 p₂ x (D/2)⁴ = p₂ x r₂⁴

r₂ = \frac{D}{2}\times\sqrt[4 ]{1.789}

2 x r₂ = D  x 1.1565

D₂ =  D  x 1.1565

Calculate the tension (in N) in a vertical strand of spiderweb if a spider of mass 5.00 ✕ 10-5 kg hangs motionless on it.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the vertical strand of spiderweb  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg

Unknown:

Tension in the vertical strand  = ?

Solution:

The tension is the vertical strand will be the weight of the strand.

  Weight of strand  = mg

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg  x 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

Phosphorus-32, a radioactive isotope of phosphorus-31 (atomic number 15), undergoes a form of radioactive decay whereby a neutro
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The product of the decay its Sulfur-32

Explanation:

Phosphorus-32 ( lets write it _{15}^{32}P, where the number above its the atomic mass and the number below the atomic number) decays turning a neutron into a proton and emitting radiation on the form of a electron. This is the beta minus decay, and, actually, an electronic antineutrino its also produced. We can write this decay for an X isotope with a Y isotope produced as:

_{Z}^{A}X \to _{Z+1}^{A}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}

where e^- its the electron, and \bar{\nu_e} the electronic antineutrino . We can see that the atomic number increases by one (cause a proton it produced and retained into the nucleus), and the atomic mass is approximately the same (there is a small difference between the neutron and proton mass, but its very small).

So, Phosphorus-32 (atomic number 15) will turn to an element with atomic number 16, and atomic mass 32, as:

_{15}^{32}P \to _{15+1}^{32}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

_{15}^{32}P \to _{16}^{32}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

The Y isotope must have an atomic number of 16 and an atomic mass of 32. The element with atomic number 16 its Sulfur (S), so, our decay its

_{15}^{32}P \to _{16}^{32}S + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

and the product of such decay its Sulfur-32
