Answer:

By Factor of 4

Explanation:

The expression for centripetal acceleration is given as,

a = v²/r........... equation 1

Where a = centripetal acceleration, v = speed, r = radius of the circle.

Case 1

Given: v = 150 m/s, r = 500 m

Substitute into equation 1

a = 150²/500

a = 22500/500

a = 45 m/s².

Case 2

Given: v = 300 m/s, r = 500 m

Also substitute into equation 1

a = 300²/500

a = 180 m/s²

Factor of change of the acceleration = 180/45

Factor of change of the acceleration = 4.

Hence the acceleration will change by a factor of 4

frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Motion

2. Empty space

3. Far apart

4. Independently

5. Random or rapid

6. Collision

7. Kinetic energy

8. Atmospheric

9. 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius

10. 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are;

I. Gas.

II. Solid.

III. Liquid.

Filling the missing words or texts in the question, we have;

The kinetic theory describes the motion of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that the volume occupied by a gas is mostly empty space, that the particles of gas are relatively far apart, move independently of each other, and are in constant random or rapid motion. The collision between particles are perfectly elastic so that the total kinetic energy remains constant. Gas pressure results from the simultaneous collisions of billions of particles with an object. Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure. Standard conditions are defined as a temperature of 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius and a pressure of 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg.

How to calculate kinetic energy given mass and velocity
sashaice [31]

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

A box took 5 minutes to move you did 2150 j of work in the process. how much power was required to move the box
AURORKA [14]
Power = Work/Time

Convert 5 min to seconds and divide 2150J by that number.
