Answer:

Centripetal force is the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward towards the center of rotation.

Explanation:

Definition of centripetal force:

Centripetal force is the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward towards the center of rotation.

Example of centripetal force

A string on the end of which a stone is whirled about exerts a centripetal force on the stone.

The diagram is shown below

Where

The centripetal forces acting towards the centre C that is $\vec {AC}$

and the direction is from A to C.

And the stone is moving in a circular motion with center as C.

What is the surface pressure of Venus?

kiruha [24]

answers 93 bar

The atmosphere of Venus is the layer of gases surrounding Venus. It is composed primarily of carbon dioxide and is much denser and hotter than that of Earth. The temperature at the surface is 740 K (467 °C, 872 °F), and the pressure is 93 bar (9.3 MPa), roughly the pressure found 900 m (3,000 ft) underwater on Earth.

A) A 5.75 mL sample of mercury has a measured mass of 77.05 g. The density is ___________.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Density of the sample will be 13.4 kg/L

Explanation:

We have given volume of the sample $V=5.75mL=5.75\times 10^{-3}L$

Mass of the sample $M=77.05gram =77.05\times 10^{-3}kg$

We have to find the density of the sample

Density of the sample is given by

$Density=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{77.05\times 10^{-3}}{5.75\times 10^{-3}}=13.4kg/L$

So density of the sample will be 13.4 kg/L

Suppose you were examining a pulsing radio signal from a stellar remnant in a distant part of the Milky Way. Knowing that ionizi

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

- Time delta is associated with difference in wavelengths

Explanation:

When pulsating radio waves consisting of different wavelengths pass through the ionized gas in interstellar space, the fast oscillating radio waves travel relatively faster than the slowly oscillating radio waves. As a result radio waves get dispersed and there is a time difference between the radio waves with different wavelength when the pulses arrive.

A tank is full of oil weighing 40 lb/ft^3. The tank is an inverted right circular cone (with the base at the top) with a height

krok68 [10]

Answer:

26945.6 ft⋅lbf

Explanation:

Volume of Right Circular Cone = pi*(radius^2)*(height/3)

Pi*(4)*(5/3) = 20.94 ft^3

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density*Volume

Mass = (40)*(20.94)

Mass = 837.6 lb

Work = Force*Height

Force = Mass*Acceleration

Acceleration will be gravitational acceleration

Work = (837.6)*(32.17)*(1)

Work = 26945.6 ft⋅lbf
