Yes. Acceleration means any change in speed or direction of motion. When an object coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed around the Earth, its direction is constantly changing. The acceleration is "CENTRIPETAL", which points toward the center of the circle.

Answer: YES it is accelerating and the direction is towards the centre

Explanation:

Acceletion is defined as the ratio of change in velocity in a direction with time. When a space shuttle moves in a circular orbit, accelerating at a constant speed, it's movement is centripetal. And it accelerates towards the centre.

What is the density of a substance that has a mass of 453g and a volume of 224mL?
Mrrafil [7]
Density is mass per unit volume. In this case, the unit is g/ml
Mass=453g                              ρ=453g/224ml
Volume=224ml                         ρ=2.022g/ml(rounded to nearest hundredth)
Density=?
ρ=mass/volume
Therefore the density of the substance is 2.022g/ml

Answer: The plasma membrane is called a selectively permeable membrane as it permits the movement of only certain molecules in and out of the cells. Not all molecules are free to diffuse. If plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down then molecules of some substances will freely move in and out of the cells.

"A 78-year-old woman has a mean arterial pressure of 120 mm Hg and a heart rate of 60 beats/min. She has a stroke volume of 50 m
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

0.04 mm Hg / mL / min .

Explanation:

Arterial pressure = 120 mm Hg

right atrial pressure = 0 mm Hg

Drop in pressure due to peripheral resistance = 120 mm Hg

volume of cardiac output per minute = 3000 mL/min

total  peripheral resistance

= 120 / 3000 mm Hg / mL / min

= 0.04 mm Hg / mL / min .

Acceleration of gravity on jupiter
Viefleur [7K]

The acceleration of gravity on Jupiter is listed as  <em>24.79 m/s²</em> .

That's roughly  2.53  times its value on Earth.  So if you weigh, let's say,
130 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh about 328 pounds on Jupiter.
