You walk out to the edge of a 2,384 m. cliff and you toss a rock down to watch it drop. What is the rocks acceleration?

Physics

likoan [24]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

9.8m/s

Explanation:

Wherever you're on the earth's surface, gravitational force remains the same and it does not matter either its a rock that's being tossed or a sheet of paper, the acceleration remains 9.8m/s only. *Condition applied=air resistance neglected

A centripetal-acceleration addict rides in uniform circular motion with period T = 2.0 s and radius r = 3.00 m. At t1 his accele
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

centripetal acceleration always points  towards the center of the circular path and velocity of object in circular motion always points towards the tangent on the the circle in this way centripetal acceleration and velocity are perpendicular to each other and the dot product of  perpendicular vectors is always zero,

therefore v•a=vacosα...........(1)

here α is angle between centripetal acceleration and velocity which is 90

therfore,

From equation (1)

v.a= vacos90

v.a=vax0..............(because cos90=0)

v.a=0 m^2

centripetal acceleration vector points towards center  it means it point towards inwards direction, so it lies along the radius vector,and radius vector points towards outward direction of the circle in this way centripetal acceleration and radius vector are in exact opposite direction so angle between them is 180 degree,

therefore r x a = rasin180

rxa=rax0            (because sin180=0)

rxa=0m^2/s^2 .

What is the difference between rutherford's model of the atom and bohr's model of the atom
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Rutherford described the atom as consisting of a tiny positive mass surrounded by a cloud of negative electrons. Bohr thought that electrons orbited the nucleus in quantised orbits. Bohr built upon Rutherford's model of the atom. ... So it was not possible for electrons to occupy just any energy level.

A skateboarder is accelerating forward. How would his acceleration change if he had more mass?
Bond [772]

Answer:

increasing more mass will decrease the acceleration of the skateboarder.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law states whenever an unbalanced force is applied on an object, it produces an acceleration in the object in the direction of force. This acceleration is directly proportional to force by inversely proportional to mass.

a\ \alpha\ \frac{F}{m}

where,

F = Force

a = acceleration

m = mass

If we consider force applied on the skateboarder, then the acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, only.

a\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{m}<u></u>

<u>Therefore, increasing more mass will decrease the acceleration of the skateboarder.</u>

What do behaviorism and cognitive psychology have in common?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Both attempt to explain human behavior

Explanation:

Psychology is generally regarded as the science of human behavior. Behaviourism is the psychological theory which holds that behaviour can be fully understood in terms of conditioning, without actually considering thoughts or feelings. The theory holds that psychological disorders can be aptly handled by simply altering the behavioural patterns of the individual. It involves the study of stimulus and responses.

Cognitive psychology attempts to decipher what is going on in people's minds. That is, it looks at the mind as a processor of information. Hence we can define cognitive psychology as the study of the internal mental processes. This according to behaviorists, cannot be studied in measurable terms as in behaviourism (stimulus response approach) even though mental processes are known to influence human behavior significantly.

Hence, both behaviourism and cognitive psychology attempt to study human behavior from different perspectives.
