Acceleration means a change in speed or direction of motion.

Even if I sit still and just go with the constant speed of the surface of the Earth wherever I am, the direction of my motion is constantly changing, because I'm going around in a circle.

So <em>yes</em>, as long as I'm on the surface of the Earth, I'm constantly accelerating.

andrew-mc [135]

First the plane turns 100 km North, and than 200 km East. Since both the directions are perpendicular to each other, therefore we can apply the Pythagoras theorem to calculate the distance between the destination and the point where plane took off


=100^{2}+200^{2}

D=223.60 km=224 km

Therefore, The destination is 224 km from where the plane took off

How is reflection of light used in research
mel-nik [20]

In order to read the publications of his peers, or read his own notes of the work
that he did on the previous day, or find his coffee mug on his desk in the lab, the
research scientist must arrange to have each of them illuminated with visible
wavelengths of light, and then he must catch the light reflected from each of them
with his eyes.

A person is lying on a diving board 3.50 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

1.995 m

Explanation:

Distance of penny as seen by the person = 5 m

Height of person from water surface = 3.50 m

Apparent depth of penny = 5 - 3.50 = 1.5 m

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

real depth / apparent depth = n

real depth = 1.33 x 1.5 = 1.995 m

Thus, the actual depth of water at that point is 1.995 m.

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.0 kg gibbon
LiRa [457]

Answer:

241.8 N.

Explanation:

The force on branch provides a reaction to the ape's weight force plus the centripetal force needed to keep the gibbon in a circular motion of radius 0.60 m.

Centripetal force = mv^2/r

F = mg + mv²/r

F = m(g + v²/r)

where,

m = mass

= 9 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity

= 9.8 m/s²

v = 3.2 m/s

r = 0.60 m

F = 9 * (9.8 + 3.2²/0.60)

= 241.8 N.
