Answer

D. The acceleration vector of the planet points towards the center of the circle.

Explanation

For planetary motion , the velocity vector is always in a direction that is tangential to the direction of motion, not towards the center. Even though the speed of the planet may stay constant, it's velocity changes because it is constantly changing it's direction.

The centripetal force, which in this case is the force of gravity always points in the direction of the the center. The acceleration  vector always points in the direction of the of the center of the circle just like the centripetal force.

What happened from the mid 1700s to the mid 1800s that contributed to the change in the global human population?
marin [14]

Industrial revolution is the reason of human population increase in 1700's and 1800's.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Industrial revolution is the event that took in the 18th and early 19th century in Europe and then to other parts of the world. In this revolution, there was huge implementation of machines and artificial objects in the daily lives which hugely contributed to the development of quality of product, greatly decreased the production time and costing, etc.

This led to increase in luxury in the lives of people and there was widespread change in the mode of living of the people all over the world.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The friction force is the weight force times the coefficient of friction. So diving by the coefficient gives you the weight force which is equivalent to the normal force.

A shaving or makeup mirror is designed to magnify your face by a factor of 1.40 when your face is placed 20.0cm in front of it
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

(a) convex mirror

(b) virtual and magnified

(c) 23.3 cm

Explanation:

The having mirror is convex mirror.

distance of object, u = - 20 cm

magnification, m = 1.4

(a) As the image is magnified and virtual , so the mirror is convex in nature.

(b) The image is virtual and magnified.

(c) Let the distance of image is v.

Use the formula of magnification.

m =-\frac{v}{u}\\1.4=-\frac{v}{-20}\\v =28 cm

Use the mirror equation, let the focal length is f.

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{28}+\frac{1}{20}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{28+20}{560}\\f=11.67cm

Radius of curvature, R = 2 f = 2 x 11.67 = 23.3 cm

A 3500 N is force is applied to a spring that has a spring of constant of k= 14000 N/m. How far from equilibrium will the spring
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

F= -K × x

So,

x = \frac{-F}{K}

Now  

x = \frac{-3500}{14000} \\\\

= -0.250m

= 25.0 cm

Hence, the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm
