Centripetal acceleration, same as the linear acceleration, is the rate of change of velocity but in this case the tangential velocity. The direction of this acceleration is always directed inward the motion. Centripetal acceleration is calculated from the ratio of the square of the velocity and the radius. We calculate as follows:

centripetal acceleration = v^2 / r
centripetal acceleration = ( 6 m/s )^2 / 2 m
centripetal acceleration = 18 m/s^2

Answer:

a_c = 18 m/s^2

Explanation:

As we know that the centripetal acceleration is defined as the ratio of square of the speed and the radius of the circle

so it is given as

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

here we know that

speed of the rock moving in horizontal circle is given as

v = 6 m/s

also we know the radius of circle is

R = 2 m

now we have

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

a_c = \frac{6^2}{2}

a_c = 18 m/s^2

The ratio of the output work to input force is the _ of the machine ?
Colt1911 [192]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Mechanical advantage

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force output from a machine divided by the force input into the machine.
  • Mechanical advantage measures the machine's force-magnifying effect. It is an advantage gained by using simple machines to accomplish work with less effort.
  • The formula is; M.A = output force/ Input force

Assortative mating changes ______ frequencies but does not change ______ frequencies.
andrew-mc [135]

Allele frequencies are unaffected by assortative mating, but genotype frequencies .

<h3>Assortative mating: </h3>

Individuals with similar phenotypes and genotypes mate with others more frequently than is anticipated under a random mating pattern in assortative mating, which is a mating pattern and a type of sexual selection.

<h3>Frequencies of genotypes:</h3>

A population's genotype frequency is calculated by dividing the number of people having a particular genotype by the overall population size. The genotype frequency in population genetics is the frequency or ratio (i.e., 0 f 1) among genotypes inside a population.

<h3>The frequency for alleles in biology:</h3>

The term "allele frequency" describes the prevalence of an allele in a population. It is calculated by calculating the number of times the allele occurs in the population and dividing by the sum of all the gene copies.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

0.000003782 m

0.000001891 m

0.000001197125 m

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength = 248 nm

D = Diameter of beam = 1 cm

f = Focal length = 0.625 cm

The angle is given by

\theta=\dfrac{1.22\lambda}{D}

The width is given by

d=2\theta f\\\Rightarrow d=2\dfrac{1.22\lambda f}{D}\\\Rightarrow d=2\dfrac{1.22\times 248\times 10^{-9}\times 6.25\times 10^{-2}}{1\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow d=0.000003782\ m

The required width is 0.000003782 m

Minimum resolvable line separation is given by

\dfrac{0.000003782}{2}=0.000001891\ m

The minimum resolvable line separation between adjacent lines is 0.000001891 m

when \lambda=157\ nm

d=2\dfrac{1.22\times 157\times 10^{-9}\times 6.25\times 10^{-2}}{1\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow d=0.00000239425\ m

The new minimum resolvable line separation between adjacent lines is

\dfrac{0.00000239425}{2}=0.000001197125\ m

Two sealed 1 l containers full of gas are at room temperature. Container a has a pressure of 4 atm and container b has a pressur
loris [4]

Answer:

The number density of the gas in container A is twice the number density of the gas in container B.

Explanation:

Here we have

P·V =n·R·T

n = P·V/(RT)

Therefore since V₁ = V₂ and T₁ = T₂

n₁ = P₁V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ = P₂V₂/(RT₂)

P₁ = 4 atm

P₂ = 2 atm

n₁ = 4V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ =2·V₁/(RT₁)

∴ n₁ = 2 × n₂

Therefore, the number of moles in container A is two times that in container B and the number density of the gas in container A is two times the number density in container B.

This can be shown based on the fact that the pressure  of the container is due to the collision of the gas molecules on the walls of the container, with a kinetic energy that is dependent on temperature and mass, and since the temperature is constant, then the mass of container B is twice that of A and therefore, the number density of container A is twice that of B.
