An object moving in a circular path with constant speed experiences centripetal acceleration.

Centripetal Acceleration- “the rate of change of tangential velocity”

“The direction of the centripetal acceleration is always inwards along the radius vector of circular motion.”

No "might". The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere HAS gone up since the start of industrialisation as the result of burning fossil fuels.

The physical model of the sunâ€™s interior has been confirmed by observations of

Inga [223]

The physical model of the sun's interior has been confirmed by observations of neutrino and seismic vibrations.

Explanation:

Sun's interior is composed of very high temperature and solar flares. So it is very difficult to understand the interior of the sun. But by using the vibrations of neutrino and seismic waves emitted by the solar waves, the physical model can be assumed.

As the interior of the sun performs continuous chain of hydrogen cycle. So the continuous emission of energy from the chain reaction releases neutrino. So these vibrations in neutrino and seismic vibrations, the physical model can be assumed easily.

A beam of monochromatic light with a wavelength of 400 nm in air travels into water. what is the wavelength of the light in wate

slava [35]

The refractive index of water is $n=1.33$ . This means that the speed of the light in the water is:
$v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.33 }=2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

The relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ of a wave is given by:
$\lambda= \frac{v}{f}$
where v is the speed of the wave in the medium. The frequency of the light does not change when it moves from one medium to the other one, so we can compute the ratio between the wavelength of the light in water $\lambda_w$ to that in air $\lambda$ as
$\frac{\lambda_w}{\lambda}= \frac{ \frac{v}{f} }{ \frac{c}{f} } = \frac{v}{c}$
where v is the speed of light in water and c is the speed of light in air. Re-arranging this formula and by using $\lambda=400 nm$ , we find
$\lambda_w = \lambda \frac{v}{c}=(400 nm) \frac{2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=301 nm$
which is the wavelength of light in water.

A wire with resistance R is connected to the terminals of a 6.0 V battery. What is the potential difference between the ends of

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Potential difference = 6.0 V

I for 1.0Ω = 6 A

I for 2.0Ω = 3 A

I for 3.0Ω = 2 A

Explanation:

Potential difference (ΔV) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)

The potential difference is constant and equals 6.0 V, hence;

I = ΔV/R

When R = 1.0, I =6/1 = 6 amperes

When R = 2.0, I = 6/2 = 3 amperes

When R = 3.0, I = 6/3 = 2 amperes

The potential difference is 6.0 V and the current is 6, 3, and 2 amperes for a resistance of 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0Ω respectively.

When you push a 2.00 kg book resting on a tabletop it takes 4.60 N to start the book sliding. What is the coefficient of static

natali 33 [55]

The coefficient of static friction is 0.234.

Answer:

Explanation:

Frictional force is equal to the product of coefficient of friction and normal force acting on any object.

So here the mass of the object is given as 2 kg, so the normal force will be acting under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

Normal force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Normal force = 2 * 9.8 = 19.6 N.

And the frictional force is given as 4.6 N, then

$Coefficient of static friction = Frictional force/Normal force$

Coefficient of static friction = 4.6 N / 19.6 N = 0.234

So the coefficient of static friction is 0.234.
