A hailstone traveling with a velocity of 43 meters/second comes to a virtual stop 0.28 seconds after hitting water. What is the

magnitude of its acceleration in the water?

Acceleration=(change in speed)/(time for the change). 43/0.28 = 153.6 m/s^2.

Answer:

a =-153.6\ m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Since we are assuming that is acceleration in water is constant, we are going to use one of the uniform accelerated motion formulas. Since we know the initial velocity (v_{0}=43 m/s), the final velocity (v_f=0) and, the time it takes to stop (t=0.28s) so, we are going to use:

v_{f}=v_{0}+at,

where a is the acceleration.

Solving for the acceleration

a=\dfrac{v_{f}-v_{0}}{t}

and, computing

a =\dfrac{0-43}{0.28}\\\\a=-153.6\ m/s^{2}.

Notice that the acceleration is negative. This is because the speed decreases when the hailstone enters the water.

The gas pressure inside a container decreases when
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation states that:

pV= nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles of gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

Assuming that we have a fixed amount of gas, so n is constant, we can rewrite the equation as

\frac{pV}{T}=const.

which means the following:

- Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume: this means that the pressure decreases when the volume increases

- Pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: this means that the pressure decreases when the temperature decreases

Which of the following are true about centripetal force? Check all that apply. A. Without centripetal force, an object cannot ac
Katyanochek1 [597]

B. Friction can be a centripetal force, such as when it keeps a car on the road going around a curve.

C. Gravity can be a centripetal force, such as when it pulls a satellite in its orbit.

Explanation:

The centripetal force is any force that keeps an object moving in circular motion, "pulling" the object towards the centre of the circular trajectory.

Several forces can act as centripetal force. Examples are:

- friction: when a car is going around the curve, is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the car in circular motion is, in fact, the friction between the tires and the road.

- Gravity: when a satellite moves around the Earth, it is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the satellite in circular motion is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the satellite, that pushes the satellite towards the Earth.

The other two options are not correct because:

A) An object can also accelerate if there is no centripetal force (for example, a car speeding up on a straight road is accelerating, but there is no centripetal force since there is no circular motion

D) Centripetal force is not an outward force, since it pushes the object inwards (towards the centre of the trajectory).

All Physicsts over here plz help in these questions!!!!!!!!!
mrs_skeptik [129]
Hello!

First one we can use that PE=mgh so we have

4.37*10^5J/(9.12*10^3kg*9.80m/s^2)= 4.89m

Second one we can use Newton’s Second Law
F=ma and in this case F=mg so we have

g= 3.28*10^-2N/6*10^-3kg = 5.47m/s^2

Hope this helps. Any questions please ask. Thank you.
