Answer:

Centripetal acceleration.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.

The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.

It is calculated through following formula

$a=v^2/r$

where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.

Answer:

1) not so long (maybe an hour or two)

2) access to information through the internet will be most affected if my computer and mobile phone run out of battery power.

3) yes, one should prepare for power outage. This can be done by having a standby alternative source of power like the use of inverters that stores electrical energy in form of chemical energy, and small internal combustion engine powered electric generators.

4) solar panels can be used to draw power from incident sun rays, this power can be stored in an inverter for future use in case of a power outage.

5) energy from the sun is converted into direct current which is then supplied to an accumulator in the opposite direction to its flow of current. When the energy is needed, it can be used directly, or converted to an alternating current. This is achieved by connecting its terminal to the supply. Electric field is generated by flow of ions and electrons within the working chemical (e.g lithium).

What was the major shortcoming of rutherford’s model of the atom?

lisabon 2012 [21]

The major shortcoming of Rutherford's model was that it was incomplete. It did not explain how the atom's negatively charged electrons are distrubuted in the space surronding its positively charged nucleus. A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space

Consider a car travelling at 60 km/hr. If the radius of a tire is 25 cm, calculate the angular speed of a point on the outer edg

vlabodo [156]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the kinematic equations of movement description.

From the perspective of angular movement, we find the relationship with the tangential movement of velocity through

$\omega = \frac{v}{R}$

Where,

$\omega =$ Angular velocity

v = Lineal Velocity

R = Radius

At the same time we know that the acceleration is given as the change of speed in a fraction of the time, that is

$\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}$

Where

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

$\omega =$ Angular velocity

t = Time

Our values are

$v = 60\frac{km}{h} (\frac{1h}{3600s})(\frac{1000m}{1km})$

$v = 16.67m/s$

$r = 0.25m$

$t=6s$

Replacing at the previous equation we have that the angular velocity is

$\omega = \frac{v}{R}$

$\omega = \frac{ 16.67}{0.25}$

$\omega = 66.67rad/s$

Therefore the angular speed of a point on the outer edge of the tires is 66.67rad/s

At the same time the angular acceleration would be

$\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}$

$\alpha = \frac{66.67}{6}$

$\alpha = 11.11rad/s^2$

Therefore the angular acceleration of a point on the outer edge of the tires is $11.11rad/s^2$

A mole of ideal gas expands at T=27 °C. The pressure changes from 20 atm to 1 atm. What’s the work that the gas has done and wha

Airida [17]

Answer:

The work made by the gas is 7475.69 joules
The heat absorbed is 7475.69 joules

Explanation:

We know that the differential work made by the gas its defined as:

$dW = P \ dv$

We can solve this by integration:

$\Delta W = \int\limits_{s_1}^{s_2}\,dW = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv$

but, first, we need to find the dependence of Pressure with Volume. For this, we can use the ideal gas law

$P \ V = \ n \ R \ T$

$P = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V}$

This give us

$\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V} \ dv$

As n, R and T are constants

$\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \ n \ R \ T \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{1}{V} \ dv$

$\Delta W= \ n \ R \ T \left [ ln (V) \right ]^{v_2}_{v_1}$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ln (\frac{v_2}{v_1})$

But the volume is:

$V = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P}$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ln(\frac{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_2}}{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_1}} )$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ln(\frac{P_1}{P_2})$

Now, lets use the value from the problem.

The temperature its:

$T = 27 \° C = 300.15 \ K$

The ideal gas constant:

$R = 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol}$

So:

$\Delta W = \ 1 mol \ 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol} \ 300.15 \ K ln (\frac{20 atm}{1 atm})$

$\Delta W = 7475.69 joules$

We know that, for an ideal gas, the energy is:

$E= c_v n R T$

where $c_v$ its the internal energy of the gas. As the temperature its constant, we know that the gas must have the energy is constant.

By the first law of thermodynamics, we know

$\Delta E = \Delta Q - \Delta W$

where $\Delta W$ is the Work made by the gas (please, be careful with this sign convention, its not always the same.)

So:

$\Delta E = 0$

$\Delta Q = \Delta W$
