Answer: +1.77

Explanation:

Big dipper is the  asterism made of seven bright stars in Ursa Major constellation. An asterism a pattern formed by joining the bright stars in the night sky. On the other hand, whole night sky is divided into 88 areas called constellations. These asterisms are used to identify the constellations.

The brightest star of the big dipper is Alioth which is the 32nd brightest star in the night sky. Its apparent magnitude is +1.77.

if you run around a circle at 4.5 m/s and the circle has a radius of 7.7 m, what is your centripetal acceleration?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration,

a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2} }

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration:

Centripetal acceleration is the idea that any object moving in a circle, in something called circular motion, will have an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle.

Centripetal means towards the center.

Examples of centripetal acceleration (acceleration pointing towards the center of rotation) include such situations as cars moving on the cicular part of the road.

An acceleration is a change in velocity.

Formula for Centripetal acceleration:

a_{c} =\frac{(velocity)^{2} }{radius}

Given here,

Velocity = 4.5 m/s

radius = 7.7 m

To Find :

a_{c} = ?

Solution:

We have,

a_{c} =\frac{(velocity)^{2} }{radius}

Substituting  given value in it we get

a_{c} =\frac{(4.5)^{2}}{7.7} \\\\a_{c} =\frac{20.25}{7.7}\\\\a_{c} =2.629\ m/s^{2} \\\\\therefore a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2

Centripetal acceleration,

a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2} }

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

0.2 m

Explanation:

PHASE 1

First, we calculate the distance the tongue moved in the first 20 ms (0.02 secs). We use one of Newton's equations of linear motion:

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where u = initial velocity = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = 250 m/s^2

t = time = 0.02 s

Therefore:

s = 0 + \frac{1}{2} * 250 * (0.02)^2\\\\\\s = 0.05 m

PHASE 2

Then, for the next 30 ms (0.03 secs), we use the formula:

distance = speed * time

This speed is the same as the final velocity of the tongue after the first 20 ms.

This can be obtained by using the formula:

v = u + at\\\\=> v = 0 + (250 * 0.02)\\\\\\v = 5 m/s

Therefore:

distance = 5 * 0.03 = 0.15 m

Therefore, the total distance moved by the tongue in the 50 ms interval is:

0.05 + 0.15 = 0.2 m

The diagram below represents the rock cycle.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

C. Heat and Pressure

Explanation:

The arrow which is labeled A points from igneous rock to metamorphic rock.

There are three types of Rocks:

1. Igneous Rock

2. Metamorphic Rock

3. Sedimentary Rock

Rock cycle:

Rock cycle is the process that describes the transition between these three types of rocks. Each type has its own form and its own equilibrium condition. The rock type alters when it is pushed out of its equilibrium conditions.

Transition of Igneous rock to Metamorphic rock:

Igneous rock forms when magma cools down. The transition of Igneous Rock to Metamorphic Rock is a result of a process called Metamorphism. Metamorphism is the alteration in the structure of rock as a result of certain heat and pressure conditions. Inside Earth heat comes from pressure. Heat with pressure does not melt the rock but it bakes the rock. Baking is not melting but it changes the shape of the rock while it is still solid. It actually forms crystals. Because the rock changes its structure, it is called Metamorphic Rock.
