Answer:

The correct answer is

1. the boy 2.

Explanation:

Since Tangential acceleration = v²/r  then the

v = ωr and v² =  ω²r² then the tangential acceleration = ω²r²/r = ω²r

This shows that  since ω is the same for both of them, the boy with greater r has the most acceleration.

The tangential acceleration a_t = α·r

A biologist looking through a microscope sees a bacterium at r⃗ 1=2.2i^+3.7j^−1.2k^μm(1μm=10−6m). After 6.2 s , it's at r⃗ 2=4.6
stiv31 [10]

The Average velocity for the bacterium is 0.75 unit/sec.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given values are in the vector form

Where,

dS = distance covered

dT = time interval

Now, to calculate distance covered, we have

|d S|=\sqrt{d S^{2}}

&

d S=r_{2}-r_{1}

d S=(4.6 i+1.9 k)-(2.2 i+3.7 j - 1.2 k)

d S=(4.6-2.2) i+(0-3.7) j+(1.9+1.2) k

d S=2.4 i-3.7 j+3.1 k

Now, putting these values in the standard formula to evaluate the average velocity, we get;

v_{a v g}=\frac{|\mathrm{d} S|}{d T}

v(a v g)=\frac{|\sqrt{\left\{\left(2.4^{2}\right)+\left(3.7^{2}\right)+\left(3.1^{2}\right)\right\}}|}{7.2}

As dT=7.2 sec

Now,

Solving the equation, we get;

v(a v g)=\frac{5.390732789}{7.2}

\begin{aligned}&v(a v g)=\frac{5.39}{7.2}\\&v(a v g)=0.748611111\\&v(a v g)=0.75 \text { units / sec }\end{aligned}

Hence, the average velocity for the bacterium is 0.75 unit/sec.

Why are renewable energy resources going to be important in our future
marshall27 [118]
Renewable resources are going to be important in our future because if we use up all of our NON-renewable resources now, then we’ll still have the renewable resources to depend on.
I hope this helped! :-)

Can we call centre of gravity centre of weight? ​
algol [13]

Answer:

Centre of gravity is a theoretical point in the body where the total weight of the body is thought to be concentrated. In a uniform gravitational field, the centre of gravity is identical to the centre of mass. Yet, the two points do not always coincide.

In which direction are the winds blowing in the northern and southern hemispheres
Alika [10]

The winds normally blow from east to the west rather than blowing from the north to the south in the northern and the southern hemispheres.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The reason for the blowing of the wind from the east to the west rather than from the north to the south in both the hemispheres which are the northern and the southern hemispheres are because it happens in light of the fact that Earth's rotation around it's own axis creates what is known as the Coriolis effect.

The Coriolis impact makes wind frameworks turn counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
