$a = \frac{v {}^{2} }{r} \: so \: that \: v = \sqrt{} a \times r \: 24m \div sec \: \times 6m \: = 12m \div s$

Answer:

12m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration experienced by the object is known as the centripetal acceleration.

Centripetal acceleration a is expressed in terms of the velocity v of the object and the radius r of the circle in which the body is moving.

Mathematically;

a = v²/r

Given a = 24m/s²; radius = 6m

24 = v²/6

Cross multiplying will give;

v² = 24×6

v² = 144

v =√144

v = 12m/s

The velocity of the object is 12m/s

A locomotive approaches its next stop and accelerates at -0.12 m/s^2, coming to a complete stop in 30 seconds. This motion could

Masja [62]

Answer:

Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration

Explanation:

Accelerated Motion

Both the velocity and acceleration are vectors because they have magnitude and direction. When the motion is restricted to one dimension, i.e. left-right or up-down, the direction is marked with the sign according to some preset reference.

The locomotive is moving at a certain speed with a (so far) unknown sign but the acceleration has a negative sign. Since the locomotive comes to a complete stop it means the velocity and the acceleration are of opposite signs.

Thus the velocity is positive.

Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration

A cannonball is fired horizontally at the same time a ball being dropped from the same height How do the times it takes them to

ipn [44]

Answer:

The cannonball and the ball will both take the same amount of time before they hit the ground.

Explanation:

For a ball fired horizontally from a given height, there is only a vertical acceleration on it towards the ground. This acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s^2). A ball dropped from a height will also only experience the same vertical acceleration downwards which is also equal to g = 9.81 m/s^2.

Therefore both the cannonball and the ball will take the same amount of time to hit the ground if they are released/fired from the same height.

Answer:

"the force of attraction between two objects"

Explanation:

According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, gravity is a force of attraction acting between objects that possess mass. The fact that we only observe gravitational attraction (as opposed to repulsion) makes gravity unique among the known forces.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Option B) reactive to nonreactive

Explanation:

A) Solid to gas

This might apply, because most of the gases are to the right portion of the periodic table

There are just a few elements that are gases at room temperature; a total of 11: six noble gases (group 18), two halogens (group 17), oxygen (group 16), nitrogen (group 15), and hydrogen (group 1).

Hydrogen is an exception to this trend because they are in the left part of the periodic table.

B) Reactive to nonreactive

The most reactive metals are in group 1 (alkali metals) and the most reactive nonmentals are in the group 18 (halogens). Hence, it is false that the from left to right the preperties go from reactive to nonreactive.

Hence, this is the one that cannot apply.

C) Metal to metalloid to nonmetal

It is true that the metallic character of the elements decreases from left to right; the metals are to the left, going to the right you find some metalloids, and further to the right you find the nonmetals.

Hence, this trend is correct.

D) Increasing number of outer-shell electrons

The number of outer-shell electrons definetly increase from left to right.

The number of electrons in neutral atoms equals the number of protons (to balance the positive and negative charges). Since, the atomic number (the number of protons) increase from left to right, the number of electrons also increase.

In a period (a row of the periodic table) the electrons add to the same outer-shell, then you will find that the number of electrons of the outer-shell increase from left to right. Hence, this is also a correct trend.

In conclusion, the only trend that does not apply is the described by the option B).
