Acceleration toward the center of a curved path is called

Physics
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
7 0

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.

What would be the final size of a balloon, at -18*C, if the initial volume is 2.0 L and the initial temperature is 20*C?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1.7 L

Explanation:

PV = nRT

If P, n, and R are constant:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

(2.0 L) / (293.15 K) = V / (255.15 K)

V = 1.7 L

Three different people weight a standard mass of 2.00 g on the same balance. Each person obtains a reading of 2.32 g for the mas
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: precise

Explanation:

Three different people weight a standard mass of 2.00 g on the same balance. Each person obtains a reading of 2.32 g for the mass of the standard. These results imply that the balance that was used is precise.

Precision can be defined as the closeness of measured values to each other, for a measuring equipment it is the closeness of the values of readings obtained at different times to each other. It does not necessarily means the measurements are accurate(closeness to the actual value). Therefore, in the case above where three different people measured the same mass on the same balance, and each of them obtained the same value which is different from the standard value. We can say the balance used is precise because the three readings are the same.

An electric dipole with its center located at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system oscillates along the x axis, creating
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The wave propagates on the z axis and the polarization is linear on the x axis

Explanation:

Part A

When the two dipole charges oscillate they form a fluctuating wave that propagates in the perpendicular direction, so if the oscillation of the magnetic field is on the axis and the propagation of the wave occurs on the z-axis.

The polarization of the electric wave is equal to the direction of the electric field, therefore as the field oscillates on the x-axis the polarization is also on the x-axis and is linearly polarized.

Part B

The wave propagates on the z axis and the polarization is linear on the x axis
