Explanation:

The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2).  Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.

First, we need to find the radius of curvature.  This is given by the equation:

R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|

y' = 2x and y" = 2:

R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|

R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2

At x = √2:

R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2

R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2

R = 27 / 2

R = 13.5

So the centripetal force is:

F = m v² / r

F = m (5)² / 13.5

F = 1.85 m

salantis [7]

Answer:

Th-234, Pa-234

Explanation:

In alpha decay, 2 protons and 2 neutrons are lost.  So U-238 would become Th-234.

In beta decay, one neutron is turned into a proton.  So Th-234 would become Pa-234.

Answer: Machines according to Wikipedia is "a mechanical structure that uses power to apply forces and control movement to perform an intended action. Machines can be driven by animals and people, by natural forces such as wind and water, and by chemical, thermal, or electrical power, and include a system of mechanisms that shape the actuator input to achieve a specific application of output forces and movement ".

A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is created to support movement, it makes carry loads easier.

A pulley is a simple type of machine, which in the above explained case makes carrying a load easier.

Roman55 [17]

 I know that the water vapor is the gaseous phase of water. But what is the dew? I just wonder how can I categorized it. Is it the liquid or the gas phase of the water.

Figure below shows dew formed in grass. It seems as a liquid. But is it actually exhibit in liquid phase or gas phase?The answer is water vapor
