True or false: objects fall toward earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s because of centripetal force.

Sadly, no. The statement kind of has some appropriate words in it, but it's badly corrupted. Objects don't fall to Earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s, and the force that accelerates them downward is not a centripetal one.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.4 m/s hits a 5.7 m -wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continu
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=-2.48\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s

It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :

v^2-u^2=2as

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(6.5)^2-(8.4)^2}{2\times 5.7}

a=-2.48\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration on the rough ice -2.48\ m/s^2 and negative sign shows deceleration.

Which illustrates different states of a substance?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Ice and water vapor.

Explanation:

Ice is a solid state and water vapor is gas. Gas comes from water being heated. Plasma is also a fourth, less known, state of matter. I hope this helps. :)

You kick a soccer ball off the ground with a velocity of 15 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal
jeyben [28]

At its maximum height, the ball will have zero vertical velocity, so the ball's velocity at this point is exactly equal to its horizontal velocity.

At any time <em>t</em>, the horizontal component of its velocity is

<em>v</em> = (15 m/s) cos(40°) ≈ 11.49 m/s

so at the highest point of its trajectory, the ball has a velocity of about 11.49 m/s pointed in the positive horizontal direction.
