The last choice. Two arrows and the arrow up is shorter than the arrow down. Since the guy is falling and he’s opened his chute, he’s slowing down but he’s still falling meaning the force of gravity is stronger than the air resistance.

The answer is A. I just took the test on K12 and it was A.

If a steel containing 1.88 wt%C is cooled relatively slowly to room temperature, what is the expected weight fraction of pearlit

Oxana [17]

Answer:

The answer is %pearlite = 0.06%

Explanation:

according to the exercise we have that the percentage is 1.88% C, therefore, the percentage of perlite is equal to:

%pearlite = (B*C)/(A*C) = (2-1.88)/(2-0) = 0.06%

The percentage of cementite is equal to:

%cementite = (1.88-0)/(2-0) = 0.94%

Two charged bees land simultaneously on flowers that are separated by a finite distance. For a few moments, the charged bees res

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Same, the electric fields point in opposite directions and therefore cancel at some midpoint.

Explanation:

The Electric field net at some point between them is zero, only if they point in opposite direction (they cancel to the each other). In order the electric fields have opposite direction, at some point between the bees , the bees must have the same sign of electric charge

Velocity vector and acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion are related as.

mr_godi [17]

They are related as $\bold{\underline {v}\,.\,\underline a }= \bold{0}$

In a uniform circular motion, the magnitude of the speed does not change during the travel and only the instantaneous direction changes.
This speed is always directed along the tangent to the circle at a given point. (refer to the figure attached)
For any circular motion, the must-have acceleration is the centripetal acceleration that is directed towards the centre of the circular locus (if the motion has a tangential acceleration, it has a tangential acceleration additionally).
Therefore, both the directions of the tangential speed and the centripetal acceleration are orthogonal to each other (perpendicular: one is 90 degrees apart from the other).
In mathematics, 2 vectors ( $\underline p$ , $\underline q$ ) that are perpendicular to each other have a quality that their dot product ( $\underline p\,.\, \underline q$ ) equal to zero vector ( $\bold 0$ ) which is written as $\undeline p\,.\, \underline q = \bold 0$ .
This quality can be considered when dealing with the velocity vector and the acceleration vector in a manner $\underline v\,.\, \underline a =\bold 0$ .
