Answer:

Explanation:

Constant speed (without change in direction) is not accelerating. If you are slowing down, speeding up, or changing direction, you are accelerating

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.

$P = kT$

where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.

I hope it helps you!

A certain light truck can go around a flat curve having a radius of 150 m with a maximum speed of 35.5 m/s. a) What is the coeff

postnew [5]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833.

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the curve (R) = 150 m

Maximum speed of truck (v) = 35.5 m/s

Let the coefficient of friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck be "μ".

As the truck is moving around a circular curve. So, the force acting on it is centripetal force which acts in the radial inward direction towards the center of the circular curve.

The centripetal force acting on the truck is given as:

$F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

Now, the friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force. So, frictional force is equal to the centripetal force necessary for circular motion.

Frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N$

Where, 'N' is the normal force. Since there is no vertical motion, the normal force is equal to weight of truck. So,

$N=mg$

Therefore, frictional force, $f=\mu mg$

Now, frictional force = centripetal force

$f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

$\mu=\frac{(35\ m/s)^2}{(150\ m)(9.8\ m/s^2)}\\\\\mu=\frac{1225\ m^2/s^2}{1470\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.833$

Therefore, the coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833

Froghopper insects have a typical mass of around 11.3 mg and can jump to a height of 58.8 cm. The takeoff velocity is achieved a

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

2874.33 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s$

Now H-h = 0.588 - 0.002 = 0.586 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.586\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.586\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2874.33\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the frog is 2874.33 m/s²

What force is produced when a battery causes an electric current to flow trough a circuit made of copper wire

zzz [600]

You'll hear that force called different things in different places. It
may be called "electromotive force", "EMF", "potential difference",
or "voltage".

It's just a matter of somehow causing the two ends of the wire
to have different electrical potential. When that happens, the
free electrons in the copper suddenly have a burning desire to
travel ... away from the end that's more negative, toward the end
that's more positive, and THAT's an "electric current".
